Posttranslational modification of proteins by ubiquitin regulates synapse development and synaptic transmission. Much progress has been made investigating the role of ubiquitin ligases at the synapse, however very little is known about the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) which remove ubiquitin from target proteins. Although there are far fewer DUBs than ubiquitin ligases encoded by the human ge...

This paper presents a scalable image transmission scheme based on the wavelet-based coding technique supporting region of interest properties. The proposed scheme scalable WDR (SWDR), is based on the wavelet difference reduction scheme, progresses adaptively to get different resolution images at any bit rate required and is supported with the spatial and SNR scalability. The method is developed...

Federated learning (FL) is a distributed neural network training paradigm with privacy protection. With the premise of ensuring that local data isn’t leaked, multi-device cooperation trains model and improves its normalization. Unlike centralized training, FL susceptible to heterogeneous data, biased gradient estimations hinder convergence global model, traditional sampling techniques cannot ap...

e34 www.thelancet.com Vol 382 December 7, 2013 The world has changed radically since the World Development Report (WDR) Investing in Health was published 20 years ago, so it is valuable and timely to look ahead once again. The Lancet Commission’s optimistic report on investing in health confi rms my view that the best times for public health are still ahead of us. As we debate the place of heal...

A variety of solutions for widening the dynamic range (DR) of CMOS image sensors have been proposed throughout the years. These solutions can be categorized into different groups according to the principle used for DR widening. One of the methods, which is based on autonomous control over the integration time, was implemented by our group. We proposed the multiple resets algorithm, which was su...

Nitrifying activity in the surface water of the Włocławek Dam Reservoir (WDR) was determined by use of a nitrification selective inhibitor (ATU). The highest values of nitrification were observed in the stations nearer the dam, with lower flow velocity, where the activity amounted to up to 120 μg N/dm3/day. Nitrification process [%] involvement in biochemical oxygen demand increased with passin...
