Learning discriminative features for Facial Expression Recognition (FER) in the wild using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is a non-trivial task due to significant intra-class variations and inter-class similarities. Deep Metric (DML) approaches such as center loss its variants jointly optimized with softmax have been adopted many FER methods enhance power of learned embedding space. However, equally supervising all metric learning method might include irrelevant ultimately degrade...

Bim, the Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death, is a member BH3-only family pro-apoptotic proteins. Recent studies have demonstrated that apoptotic activity Bim can be regulated through post-translational mechanism whereby ERK phosphorylation serves as signal for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. In this report, we investigated signaling pathways leading to in Ba/F3 cells, an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent B-cell line. IL-3 stimulation induced Bim(EL), one predominant isoforms...

In this work, an algorithm is proposed to scramble JPEG compressed image without causing bitstream size expansion. The causes of expansion in the existing scrambling methods are first identified. Three recommendations on AC coefficients scrambled combat unauthorized viewing. As step algorithm, edges identified directly frequency domain using solely relying any traditional methods. These then form a low resolution its original counterpart and information utilized identify regions. DC encoded...

Breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging is commonly used in the early detection of breast cancer as a portable, valuable, and widely available diagnosis tool. Automated BUS image classification segmentation can assist radiologists making accurate fast decisions. Recent studies illustrate that tumor, peritumoral, background regions images provide valuable information for or classification. However, few have investigated influence these three on multi-task learning. In this study, we propose an...

Abstract Background Existing methods for calculating semantic similarity between gene products using the Gene Ontology (GO) often rely on external resources, which are not part of ontology. Consequently, changes in these resources like biased term distribution caused by shifting hot research topics, will affect calculation similarity. One way to avoid this problem is use that "intrinsic" ontology, i.e. independent knowledge. Results We present a shortest-path graph kernel (spgk) method...
