Abstract NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in innate immune system through recognizing pathogenic microorganisms and danger-associated molecules. Deubiquitination of has been shown to be essential for its activation, yet the functions Ubc13, K63-linked specific ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, activation are not known. In this study, we found that mouse macrophages, Ubc13 knockdown or ...

State-of-the-art blind image deconvolution approaches have difficulties when dealing with text images, since they rely on natural image statistics which do not respect the special properties of text images. On the other hand, previous document image restoring systems and the recently proposed black-andwhite document image deblurring method [1] are limited, and cannot handle large motion blurs a...

Current CAPTCHAs require users to solve objective questions such as text recognition or image recognition. We propose a class of CAPTCHAs based on collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering CAPTCHAs allow us to ask questions that have no absolute answer; instead, the CAPTCHAs are graded by comparison to other people’s answers. We analyze the security requirements of collaborative filterin...
