Multi-Cell Displacement Measurement During the Assembly of Automotive Power Batteries Based on Machine Vision by Yueda Xu, Yanfeng Xing, Hongbo Zhao, Yufang Lin, Lijia Ren, Zhihan Zhou

“…In order to enhance the accuracy of tab displacement calculation, a novel method for feature point detection and displacement calculation of lithium battery stacks based on the MicKey (Metric Keypoints) method is introduced. MicKey can predict the coordinates of corresponding keypoints in the 3D camera space through keypoint matching based on neural networks, and it can acquire feature point pairs of the subject to be measured through its unique depth reduction characteristics. …”

Dynamics of REL, RELA and IRF1 transcription factor expression in U937 macrophages after dioxin exposure by E. V. Kashina, D. Y. Oshchepkov, E. V. Antontseva, M. Y. Shamanina, D. P. Furman, V. A. Mordvinov

“…Macrophages are key regulators of the innate immune response, as well as one of the first types of cells which respond to chemical stress, so the study of the action of TCDD on these cells is important. Putative DREs were predicted using the SITECON software tool in the regulatory regions of the genes encoding transcription factors REL, RELA and IRF1 expressed in macrophages. …”

Conclusions: Our results suggest that prognostic information deducted from classical staging parameters is successfully complemented by DNA image cytometry which can be applied pretherapeutically.…”
