This paper proposes a nonnegative mix-norm convex optimization method for mitotic cell detection. First, we apply an imaging model-based microscopy image segmentation method that exploits phase contrast optics to extract mitotic candidates in the input images. Then, a convex objective function regularized by mix-norm with nonnegative constraint is proposed to induce sparsity and consistence for...

The ginsenoside Rh2, a pharmaceutically active component of ginseng, is known to have anticancer and antitumor effects. However, white ginseng and red ginseng have extremely low concentrations of Rh2 or Rh2-Mix [20(S)-Rh2, 20(R)-Rh2, Rk2, and Rh3]. To enhance the production of food-grade ginsenoside Rh2, an edible enzymatic bioconversion technique was developed adopting GRAS host strains. A β-g...

This paper presents an analysis of mixes and dummy traffic policies, which are building blocks of anonymous services. The goal of the paper is to bring together all the issues related to the analysis and design of mix networks. We discuss continuous and pool mixes, topologies for mix networks and dummy traffic policies. We point out the advantages and disadvantages of design decisions for mixes...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the application of recycled aggregates of constructiondebris such as concrete, cement block and rubbles from pars-kangan site in asphalt concrete mix design. toevaluate the performance of aggregates different mix designs with recycled aggregate percentages of 0, 10,30, 50 and bitumen percentages of 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, and 6.5 were provided and two mar...

Data clustering is a common technique for data analysis, which is used in many fields, including machine learning, data mining, customer segmentation, trend analysis, pattern recognition and image analysis. Although many clustering algorithms have been proposed, most of them deal with clustering of one data type (numerical or nominal) or with mix data type (numerical and nominal) and only few o...

We apply the Canuto-Goldman (CG) analytical model to turbulence generated by the class of instabilities which have a power-law growth rate. For the case of Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability we compare the results of the model with the experiments of Read and Youngs and find reasonable agreement on the scale size of large eddies: they are predicted to be a0% of the mixing length and are at least ...

below the surface through scarifier teeth. Emulsions and medium-curing and slow-curing asphalts were used. The travelling plant-mix was not entirely satisfactory because of conditions existing on this project. It is necessary to have the windrow of material quite wet in order to get it through the travelling pug-mill mixer. The project was built late in the fall, and the water did not evaporate...

MOTIVATION Approaches to identifying new risk loci, training risk prediction models, imputing untyped variants and fine-mapping causal variants from summary statistics of genome-wide association studies are playing an increasingly important role in the human genetics community. Current summary statistics-based methods rely on global 'best guess' reference panels to model the genetic correlation...

s teel industries play a key role in the national economy and welfare of the society in many steel manufacturer countries. it is found that manufacturing and consuming of steel products would be a key indicator to measure and evaluate economic and industrial performance of a country. nowadays, countries with the large natural oil and gas resources (e.g. iran) attempt to select an alternative ec...

Fatigue characteristics of asphalt binder have an important role in asphalt mix resistance against cracking. Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) analysis of asphalt binders has been successfully used in highway research works in order to predict fatigue behavior of hot mix asphalt (HMA). In this method an intrinsic property of the material, called damage function is obtained which is independe...
