Yu Wang,Yu Cao,Miao Wang,Gang Liu 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Vol.10 No.10

A new framework based on multi- modal semantic clues and HCRF (Hidden Conditional Random Field) for soccer wonderful event detection. Through analysis of the structural semantics of the wonderful event videos, define nine kinds of multi- modal semantic clues to accurately describe the included semantic information of the wonderful events. After splitting the video clips into several physical shots, extract the multi- modal semantic clues from the key frame of each shot to get the feature vector of the current shots, and compose the observed sequence of the feature vectors of all shots in the test video clips. Using the above observed sequence as HCRF model input in the case of small-scale training samples, establish wonderful event detection HCRF model effectively. Experiments show that the average recall of this paper reaches 95.3%, the average precision rate reaches 96%, the performance of this paper is obviously superior to the contrast method.

Optimization of Unequal Error Protection Rateless Codes for Multimedia Multicasting

Yu Cao,Steven D. Blostein,Wai-Yip Chan 한국통신학회 2015 Journal of communications and networks Vol.17 No.3

Rateless codes have been shown to be able to provide greater flexibility and efficiency than fixed-rate codes for multicast applications. In the following, we optimize rateless codes for unequal error protection (UEP) for multimedia multicasting to a set of heterogeneous users. The proposed designs have the objectives of providing either guaranteed or best-effort quality of service (QoS). A randomly interleaved rateless encoder is proposed whereby users only need to decode symbols up to their own QoS level. The proposed coder is optimized based on measured transmission properties of standardized raptor codes over wireless channels. It is shown that a guaranteed QoS problem formulation can be transformed into a convex optimization problem, yielding a globally optimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimized random interleaved UEP rateless coder’s performance compares favorably with that of other recently proposed UEP rateless codes.

Yu, Yong-Jiang,Li, Yu-Min,Hou, Xu-Dong,Guo, Chao,Cao, Nong,Jiao, Zuo-Yi Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.5

Objective: Tissue factor (TF) is expressed abnormally in certain types of tumor cells, closely related to invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to construct a human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 stably-transfected with human TF, and observe effects on oxaliplatin-dependent inhibition of invasion and the apoptosis induction. Methods: The target gene TF was obtained from human placenta by nested PCR and introduced into the human gastric cell line SGC7901 through transfection mediated by lipofectamine. Stably-transfected cells were screened using G418. Examples successfully transfected with TF-pcDNA3 recombinant (experimental group), and empty vector pcDNA3 (control group) were incubated with oxaliplatin. Transwell chambers were used to show change in invasive ability. Caspase-3 activity was detected using a colorimetric method and annexin-V/PI double-staining was applied to detect apoptosis. Results: We generated the human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901/TF successfully, expressing TF stably and efficiently. Compared with the control group, invasion increased, whereas caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate were decreased in the experimental group. Conclusion: TF can enhance the invasive capacity of gastric cancer cells in vitro. Its increased expression may reduce invasion inhibition and apoptosis-inducing effects of oxaliplatin and therefore may warrant targeting for improved chemotherapy.

Improvement in Water Resistance of Desulfurized Gypsum by Novel Modification of Silicone Oil Paraffin Composite Emulsion-based Waterproofing Agent

Cao, Jing-Yu,Li, Jin-Peng,Jiang, Ya-Mei,Wang, Su-Lei,Ding, Yi,Oh, Won-Chun The Korean Ceramic Society 2019 한국세라믹학회지 Vol.56 No.6

In this study, dimethyl silicone oil and liquid paraffin were combined and subsequently emulsified; the resulting mixture was innovatively incorporated into desulfurized gypsum to resolve its drawback of a poor water resistance. The waterproof mechanism of the composite emulsion and liquid paraffin emulsion with mass fractions of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% were investigated. The effect of the desulfurized gypsum on the waterproof performance and basic mechanical properties were also investigated. The configuration of the composite waterproofing agent was characterized by FTIR and ¹HNMR. The results showed that, compared with the traditional liquid paraffin emulsion-based waterproofing agent, the softening coefficient of the silicone oil paraffin composite emulsion-based water-repellent agent was increased by 60% and attained a value of 0.89. Combined with the waterproof mechanism and microscope morphology analysis of gypsum hydration products, the improvement in the water resistance of water resistance was primarily attributed to the formation of a silicone hydrophobic membrane between the crystals of the gypsum block; this ensured that water could not penetrate the crystal.

SiC-B4C composite powders were synthesized by the carbothermal reduction method under an argon atmosphere usingdifferent kinds of carbon sources (carbon black and starch) and silica sol and boric acid as the precursor raw materials. Basedon thermodynamic analysis and calculation, the effects of different carbon sources and reaction temperatures on the mass lossrate, phase composition, and microstructure of SiC-B4C ultrafine composite powders were comparatively studied. Resultsshowed that the optimum conditions for synthesizing SiC-B4C composite powders with carbon black as the carbon source were1550 ºC for 2 h, whereas the optimum conditions for synthesizing SiC-B4C composite powders with starch as the carbon sourcewere 1450 ºC-1550 ºC for 2 h. The powder samples synthesized with carbon black as the carbon source at 1550 ºC were mainlycomposed of flaky, columnar-like, spherical, and irregular polyhedral particles (about 100-200 nm in diameter). Mutualcohesion or agglomeration between particles was minimal. In the powder samples synthesized at 1550 ºC with an excess of 10wt% starch, in addition to a certain amount of flaky, spherical, and other irregular structure particles, a certain amount ofuniform, slender whiskers (about 50-100 nm in diameter) and a certain phenomenon of lap and winding between the whiskerswere noted. The powder samples synthesized at 1550 ºC with an excess of 20 wt% starch had no whisker-like substance.

BRCA1 Gene Exon 11 Mutations in Uighur and Han Women with Early-onset Sporadic Breast Cancer in the Northwest Region of China

Cao, Yu-Wen,Fu, Xin-Ge,Wan, Guo-Xing,Yu, Shi-Ying,Cui, Xiao-Bin,Li, Li,Jiang, Jin-Fang,Zheng, Yu-Qin,Zhang, Wen-Jie,Li, Feng Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.11

The prevalence of BRCA1 gene mutations in breast cancer differs between diverse ethnic groups. Relatively little information is known about patterns of BRCA1 mutations in early-onset breast cancer in women of Uighur or Han descent, the major ethnic populations of the Xinjiang region in China. The aim of this study was to identify BRCA1 mutations in Uighur and Han patients with early-onset (age <35 years), and sporadic breast cancer for genetic predisposition to breast cancer. For detection of BRCA1 mutations, we used a polymerase chain reaction single-stranded conformation polymorphism approach, followed by direct DNA sequencing in 22 Uighur and 13 Han women with early-onset sporadic breast cancer, and 32 women with benign breast diseases. The prevalence of BRCA1 mutations in this population was 22.9% (8/35) among early-onset sporadic breast cancer cases. Of these, 31.8% (7/22) of Uighur patients and 7.69% (1/13) of Han patients were found to have BRCA1 mutations. In 7 Uighur patients with BRCA1 mutations, there were 11 unique sequence alterations in the BRCA1 gene, including 4 clearly disease-associated mutations on exon 11 and 3 variants of uncertain clinical significance on exon 11, meanwhile 4 neutral variants on intron 20 or 2. None of the 11 BRCA1 mutations identified have been previously reported in the Breast Cancer Information Core database. These findings reflect the prevalence of BRCA1 mutations in Uighur women with early-onset and sporadic breast cancer, which will allow for provision of appropriate genetic counseling and treatment for Uighur patients in the Xinjiang region.

Objective: To assess the labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness in adults with maxillary central incisors of different inclination by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Ninety maxillary central incisors from 45 patients were divided into three groups based on the maxillary central incisors to palatal plane angle; lingual-inclined, normal, and labial-inclined. Reformatted CBCT images were used to measure the labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness (ABT) at intervals corresponding to every 1/10 of the root length. The sum of labial ABT and lingual ABT at the level of the root apex was used to calculate the total ABT (TABT). The number of teeth exhibiting alveolar fenestration and dehiscence in each group was also tallied. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s honestly significant difference test were applied for statistical analysis. Results: The labial ABT and TABT values at the root apex in the lingual-inclined group were significantly lower than in the other groups (p < 0.05). Lingual and labial ABT values were very low at the cervical level in the lingual-inclined and normal groups. There was a higher prevalence of alveolar fenestration in the lingual-inclined group. Conclusions: Lingual-inclined maxillary central incisors have less bone support at the level of the root apex and a greater frequency of alveolar bone defects than normal maxillary central incisors. The bone plate at the marginal level is also very thin.
