Intradialytic hypotension has high clinical significance. However, predicting it using conventional statistical models may be difficult because several factors have interactive and complex effects on the risk. Herein, we applied a deep learning model (recurrent neural network) to predict risk of intradialytic timestamp-bearing dataset.We obtained 261,647 hemodialysis sessions with 1,600,531 independent timestamps (i.e., time-varying vital signs) randomly divided them into training (70%),...

Few-shot object detection aims to detect instances of specific categories in a query image with only handful support samples. Although this takes less effort than obtaining enough annotated images for supervised detection, it results far inferior performance compared the conventional methods. In paper, we propose meta-learning-based approach that con-siders unique characteristics each sample. Rather simply averaging information samples generate single prototype per category, our method can...

Abstract Typhoon Soulik decayed rapidly via two‐way interaction with the northern East China Sea, extratropical shelf region, before landing on Korean Peninsula 23 August 2018. In where water column is strongly stratified warm surface and cold subsurface waters, a large wake emerged intense sea cooling, which primarily caused by vertical mixing in column. This abrupt cooling increased downward enthalpy flux, mostly form of latent heat flux. The slow translation speed strong thermal...

An experimental study was performed to investigate the axial-flexural load-carrying capacity of concrete-filled steel tube columns encased with thin precast concrete (PC). Six eccentrically loaded and one concentrically column were tested. To prevent premature failure encasement, various reinforcement details such as studs, fiber, welded wire mesh, cross ties used. The maximum axial loads specimens agreed strengths predicted by current design codes, although in some specimens, decreased...

Abstract Deep-tissue optical imaging suffers from the reduction of resolving power due to tissue-induced aberrations and multiple scattering noise. Reflection matrix approaches recording maps backscattered waves for all possible orthogonal input channels have provided formidable solutions removing severe recovering ideal diffraction-limited spatial resolution without relying on fluorescence labeling guide stars. However, measuring full input–output response tissue specimen is time-consuming,...

Composite columns of various sectional configurations are studied to maximize the contribution high-strength steel under compression-flexural loading. For concrete-encased (CES) columns, angles were placed at four corners cross-section and connected by types transverse reinforcements. In case a concrete-filled tube (CFT) column, slender was stiffened welding longitudinal bars. To verify structural capacities, eccentric axial load tests performed for three angle (CES-A) (S-CFT) using Grade...

Existing experimental results show that carefully designed RC column-to-steel beam (RCS) joints have high seismic resistance comparable to those of traditional steel or frames with details. However, such performance requires complicated and expensive strengthening details, which causes difficulties in fabrication construction. This study investigated simpler methods, targeting moderate capacity. Four interior RCS joint specimens were tested under cyclic lateral loading. The major test...

The development of deep learning has achieved great success in object detection, but small detection is still a difficult and challenging task computer vision.
