Dynamic textures exist in various forms, e.g., fire, smoke, and traffic jams, but recognizing dynamic texture is challenging due to the complex temporal variations. In this paper, we present a novel approach stemmed from slow feature analysis (SFA) for dynamic texture recognition. SFA extracts slowly varying features from fast varying signals. Fortunately, SFA is capable to leach invariant repr...
Our goals were to determine the nature of endothelium-dependent and -independent vascular responses in isolated soleus feed arteries (SFA) and to test the hypothesis that these responses would be altered by exercise training. Exercise-trained rats ran 30 m/min, up a 15% grade, 1 h/day, 5 days/wk for 10-12 wk, while sedentary control rats were confined to normal cage activity. SFA were isolated,...
Declaration I, Nikolaos Polatidis, confirm that this work submitted for assessment is my own and is expressed in my own words. Any uses made within it of the works of other form (e.g., ideas, equations, figures, text, tables, programs) are properly acknowledged at any point of their use. A list of references employed is included. Abstract For many sports, the allocation of officials to matches ...
We employed next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology to determine the influence of obesity on global gene expression in skeletal muscle feed arteries. Transcriptional profiles of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle feed arteries (GFA and SFA, respectively) and aortic endothelial cell-enriched samples from obese Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) and lean Long-Evans Tokushima O...
BACKGROUND Whereas visceral fat accumulation (VFA) is related to insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in both haemodialysis (HD) patients and the general population, little is known about the role of subcutaneous fat accumulation (SFA). The purpose of the present study was to examine and confirm the relationship between abdominal fat accumulation (AFA) and various clinical parameters in HD pa...
OBJECTIVES Superficial femoral artery (SFA) involvement in Takayasu arteritis (TAK) has rarely been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristic and clinical outcomes of endovascular therapy in such patients. METHODS We analysed the data collected from 105 consecutive patients with TAK, who were diagnosed from January 2011 to December 2013. All patients u...
We tested the hypothesis that endothelium-dependent dilation in soleus muscle feed arteries (SFA) is impaired by aging due to attenuated nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilation. SFA were isolated from young (4 mo) and old (24 mo) male Fischer 344 rats and cannulated with two glass micropipettes for examination of endothelium-dependent [flow or acetylcholine (ACh)] and endothelium-independent [s...
Flow-induced dilation is thought to contribute to dilation of skeletal muscle arteries and arterioles during exercise hyperemia. We sought to determine whether rat soleus feed arteries (SFA) exhibit flow-induced dilation and to evaluate the potential contribution of flow-induced dilation of SFA to exercise hyperemia. Rat SFA were isolated and cannulated to allow pressure and intraluminal flow t...
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Commonly, endothelial function is determined in the brachial artery, whereas patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) present with lower limb atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that in PAD, a segmental or local association exists between endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic structural changes. ...
This paper takes issues with the appropriateness of applying the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) technique to account for environmental effects and statistical noise in the popular three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA). A correctly specified SFA model with a censored dependent variable and the associated maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) are proposed. The simulations show that the fi...
