Abstract Characterizing the transcriptome of individual cells is fundamental to understanding complex biological systems. We describe a droplet-based system that enables 3′ mRNA counting tens thousands single per sample. Cell encapsulation, up 8 samples at time, takes place in ∼6 min, with ∼50% cell capture efficiency. To demonstrate system’s technical performance, we collected data from ∼250k across 29 samples. validated sensitivity and its ability detect rare populations using lines...
Recent work has shown that the murine BRCA2 tumor suppressor protein interacts with RAD51 protein. This interaction suggests participates in DNA repair. Residues 3196–3232 of were to be involved this interaction. Here, we report detailed mapping additional domains are interactions between human homologs these two proteins. Through yeast two-hybrid and biochemical assays, demonstrate specifically eight evolutionarily conserved BRC motifs encoded exon 11 brca2 a similar motif found...
Early detection of lung cancer can help in a sharp decrease the mortality rate, which accounts for more than 17% percent total related deaths. A large number cases are encountered by radiologists on daily basis initial diagnosis. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems assist offering "second opinion" and making whole process faster. We propose CAD system uses deep features extracted from an auto encoder to classify nodules as either malignant or benign. use 4303 instances containing 4323...
The recent integration of attention mechanisms into segmentation networks improves their representational capabilities through a great emphasis on more informative features. However, these ignore an implicit sub-task semantic and are constrained by the grid structure convolution kernels. In this paper, we propose novel squeeze-and-attention network (SANet) architecture that leverages effective (SA) module to account for two distinctive characteristics segmentation: i) pixel-group attention,...
We discuss entanglement of multiparticle quantum systems. propose a potential measure type pure states n qubits, the n-tangle. For system two qubits n-tangle is equal to square concurrence, and for systems three it ''residual entanglement''. show that -tangle, also generalization concurrence squared even n, use this fact prove an monotone. However, undefined odd n>3. Finally we related mixed state find analytical formula n.

This paper presents an attribute clustering method which is able to group genes based on their interdependence so as mine meaningful patterns from the gene expression data. It can be used for grouping, selection, and classification. The partitioning of a relational table into subgroups allows small number attributes within or across groups selected analysis. By attributes, search dimension data mining algorithm reduced. reduction especially important in because such typically consist huge...
This paper introduces a novel approach to the problem of image inpainting through use nonlocal-means. In traditional techniques, only local information around target regions are used fill in missing information, which is insufficient many cases. More recent techniques based on concept exemplar-based synthesis utilize nonlocal but very limited way. proposed algorithm, we from multiple samples within image. The contribution each sample reconstruction pixel determined using an weighted...
An important image post-processing step for optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is speckle noise reduction. Noise in OCT multiplicative nature and difficult to suppress due the fact that addition component, also carries structural information about imaged object. To address this issue, a novel reduction algorithm was developed. The projects imaging data into logarithmic space general Bayesian least squares estimate of noise-free found using conditional posterior sampling approach....

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Incidence rates melanoma have been increasing, especially among non-Hispanic white males and females, but survival are high if detected early. Due to costs for dermatologists screen every patient, there a need an automated system assess patient's risk using images their lesions captured standard digital camera.

Single image super-resolution (SISR) is a challenging ill-posed problem which aims to restore or infer high-resolution from low-resolution one. Powerful deep learning-based techniques have achieved state-of-the-art performance in SISR; however, they can underperform when handling images with non-stationary degradations, such as for the application of projector resolution enhancement. In this paper, new UNet architecture that able learn relationship between set degraded and their...
Robotic leg prostheses and exoskeletons can provide powered locomotor assistance to older adults and/or persons with physical disabilities. However, the current locomotion mode recognition systems being developed for automated high-level control decision-making rely on mechanical, inertial, neuromuscular sensors, which inherently have limited prediction horizons (i.e., analogous walking blindfolded). Inspired by human vision-locomotor system, we an environment classification system computer...
