Putative Factors That May Modulate the Effect of Exercise on Liver Fat: Insights from Animal Studies by Faidon Magkos

“…Although regular aerobic exercise improves metabolic function, its role in regulating fat accumulation in the liver is incompletely understood, and human data are scarce. Results from exercise training studies in animals highlight a number of potential factors that could possibly mediate the effect of exercise on liver fat, but none of them has been formally tested in man. …”

A biallelically active embryonic enhancer dictates GNAS imprinting through allele-specific conformations by Yorihiro Iwasaki, Monica Reyes, Harald Jüppner, Murat Bastepe

“…Here, we show that the STX16-ICR forms different chromatin conformations with each GNAS parental allele and enhances two GNAS promoters in human embryonic stem cells. When these cells differentiate toward proximal renal tubule cells, STX16-ICR loses its effect, accompanied by a transition to a somatic cell-specific GNAS imprinting status. …”

Vehicle Detection for Vision-Based Intelligent Transportation Systems Using Convolutional Neural Network Algorithm by Othman O. Khalifa, Muhammad H. Wajdi, Rashid A. Saeed, Aisha H. A. Hashim, Muhammed Z. Ahmed, Elmustafa Sayed Ali

“…Hardware-based solutions such as radars and LIDAR are been proposed but are too expensive to be maintained and produce little valuable information to human operators at traffic monitoring systems. Software based solutions using traditional algorithms such as Histogram of Gradients (HOG) and Gaussian Mixed Model (GMM) are computationally slow and not suitable for real-time traffic detection. …”
