It is obliged to provide an effective reading support system for CSL (Chinese as Second Language) learners, for recognition and comprehension of CIE (Chinese Idiomatic Expression) in Chinese text are very difficult for them. Though most current research are focusing on Chinese reading support, there is still no perfect system that can provide a convenient support aiming at CIE. In this paper, w...

Renk tutarsızlığı problemi görüntü sahteciliği, iç boyama, kare jigsaw puzzle, birleştirme gibi birçok farklı alanı yakından ilgilendiren güncel bir disiplinlerarası problemdir. Ancak literatürde renk problemini genel çerçevede ele alıp inceleyen herhangi araştırma çalışması bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma ile alınarak sınıflandırma yöntemi ilk defa önerilmiştir. sonucunda tabanlı yöntemler kullanı...

OBJECTIVE Routine screening of diabetic patients with echocardiography is not feasible due to its limited availability and high cost. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is secreted from the left ventricle in response to pressure overload and is elevated in both systolic and diastolic dysfunction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS BNP levels were compared to echocardiographic findings in 263 patients....

This paper presents a novel approach to the question of surface grading, the soft color texture descriptors method. This method is extracted from an extensive evaluation process of several factors based on the use of two well established statistical tools: experimental design and logistic regression. The utility of different combinations of factors is evaluated in regard to the problem of autom...

Plasma membrane proteins that enter cells by clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE) are sorted either to lysosomes for degradation or recycled back to the plasma membrane. Expression of some MARCH E3 ubiquitin ligases promotes trafficking of CIE cargo proteins to lysosomes by ubiquitylating the proteins. Here, we show that co-expression of the ubiquitin-specific protease TRE17/USP6 counteracts ...

Obesity is a common nutritional disorder associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, and certain cancers. In this study, we investigated the effects of Citrus ichangensis peel extract (CIE) in high-fat (HF) diet-induced obesity mice. Female C57BL/6 mice were fed a chow diet or an HF diet alone or supplemented with 1% w/w CIE for 8 weeks. We found that CIE treatment c...

National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 The differences between ITS-90 and IPTS-68 above 1235 K are described. It is shown that none of the following CIE definitions or recommendations require revision because of the introduction of the ITS-90: International Lighting Vocabulary definitions; CIE Standard Illuminants A, Djs, other illuminants; and sources for realiz...

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have been successfully applied to plant disease detection. Unlike most existing studies, we propose feeding a DCNN CIE Lab instead of RGB color coordinates. We modified an Inception V3 architecture include one branch specific for achromatic data (L channel) and another chromatic (AB channels). This modification takes advantage the decoupling informatio...
