Conventionally, the k nearest-neighbor (kNN) classification is implemented with use of Euclidean distance-based measures, which are mainly one-to-one similarity relationships such as to lose connections between different samples. As a strategy alleviate this issue, coefficients coded by sparse representation have played role gauger for well. Although SR enjoy remarkable discrimination nature on...

Asymmetric rolling (ASR) is a method to manufacture sheet metals with the aim of improving material performance. The objective present work investigate effect asymmetric on an aluminum alloy used in automotive industry. To this end, three parameters process were studied, namely asymmetry factor (1, symmetric (SR) and 1.36, (AR)), thickness reduction per pass (10%, 15%, 30%), routes (asymmetric ...

This paper presents a detailed investigation and comparative analysis of the two well-known classes of Super Resolution (SR) i.e. Reconstruction Based Super Resolution (RBSR) and the Example Based Super Resolution (EBSR), taking into account the seven variables: Resolution Factor, Aliasing, Stills, Motion, Compression, Noise and Detection scenario. The EBSR uses high and low frequency relations...

Precise Ca cycling through the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a Ca storage organelle, is critical for proper cardiac muscle function. This cycling initially involves SR release of Ca via the ryanodine receptor, which is regulated by its interacting proteins junctin and triadin. The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase (SERCA) pump then refills SR Ca stores. Histidine-rich Ca-binding protein (HRC...

Annotation of phrases in birdsongs can be helpful to behavioral and population studies. To reduce the need for manual annotation, an automated birdsong phrase classification algorithm for limited data is developed. Limited data occur because of limited recordings or the existence of rare phrases. In this paper, classification of up to 81 phrase classes of Cassin's Vireo is performed using one t...

The class A macrophage scavenger receptor (SR-A) is expressed in antigen presenting cells and is involved in host immune responses. Germ-line mutation of this gene has been associated with increased risk of human prostate cancer. However, there is little known about its expression in normal or neoplastic human prostate tissues. Double immunofluorescent labeling with monoclonal antibodies to SR-...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes the development of a specific cardiomyopathy that results from the metabolic derangements present in DM and manifests as cardiac contractile dysfunction. Although myocardial dysfunction in Type 1 DM has been associated with defects in the function and regulation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), very little is known about SR function in Type 2 DM. Accordingly, th...

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)-mediated Ca(2+) sequestration and release are important determinants of cardiac contractility. In end-stage heart failure SR dysfunction has been proposed to contribute to the impaired cardiac performance. In this study we tested the hypothesis that a targeted interference with SR function can be a primary cause of contractile impairment that in turn might alter card...

Microbial sulfate reduction (SR) is a dominant process of organic matter mineralization in sulfate-rich anoxic environments at neutral pH. Recent studies have demonstrated SR in low pH environments, but investigations on the microbial activity at variable pH and CO2 partial pressure are still lacking. In this study, the effect of pH and pCO2 on microbial activity was investigated by incubation ...
