Three-Dimensional Diffusion Model in Sports Dance Video Human Skeleton Detection and Extraction by Zhi Li

“…The research in this paper mainly includes as follows: for the principle of action recognition based on the 3D diffusion model convolutional neural network, the whole detection process is carried out from fine to coarse using a bottom-up approach; for the human skeleton detection accuracy, a multibranch multistage cascaded CNN structure is proposed, and this network structure enables the model to learn the relationship between the joints of the human body from the original image and effectively predict the occluded parts, allowing simultaneous prediction of skeleton point positions and skeleton point association information on the one hand, and refinement of the detection results in an iterative manner on the other. For the combination problem of discrete skeleton points, it is proposed to take the limb parts formed between skeleton points as information carriers, construct the skeleton point association information model using vector field, and consider it as a feature, to obtain the relationship between different skeleton points by using the detection method. …”

Severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria is associated with circulating ultra-large von Willebrand multimers and ADAMTS13 inhibition. by Deirdre Larkin, Bas de Laat, P Vince Jenkins, James Bunn, Alister G Craig, Virginie Terraube, Roger J S Preston, Cynthia Donkor, George E Grau, Jan A van Mourik, James S O'Donnell

“…These studies demonstrated that in malarial plasma, ADAMTS13 function was persistently inhibited in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, this inhibitory effect was not associated with the presence of known inhibitors of ADAMTS13 enzymatic function (interleukin-6, free haemoglobin, factor VIII or thrombospondin-1). …”
