Insect visual system inspired small target detection for multi-spectral remotely sensed images by HUANG Feng-chen1, LI Min1, SHI Ai-ye1, TANG Min1, XU Li-zhong1

“…Most existing target detection algorithms for multi-spectral remotely sensed images dependent on the background model or prior knowledge of spectral,so the false alarm rate of detection algorithms would be enhanced by clutter background and little prior information.Inspired by small target detection neurons of the insect visual system,a bionic small target detection model and its corresponded detection method were proposed for multi-spectral remotely sensed images.Based on the nonlinear filtering characteristic of neural cell which is sensitive to transient signals,target detection was completed by suppressing the local background texture and enhancing target feature.Experimental results showed that the proposed method can detect target with stable low false alarm rate under the condition of complexity background.Meanwhile,the proposed method can balance the contradictory relationship between spatial resolution and background complexity.Compared with existing target detection algorithms,it was simple and easy to be completed.…”

Temozolomide-Induced Myelodysplasia by Ethan A. Natelson, David Pyatt

“…TMZ is an orally active imidazotetrazine which methylates guanine residues in DNA, ultimately causing single and double-strand DNA breaks leading to apoptotic cell death. TMZ does not chemically cross-link DNA and is considered a nonclassical alkylating agent, similar in structure and activity to dacarbazine. …”

Prediction of Matrix Failure in Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites by J. Wang, W. K. Chiu

“…For failure of typical neat resin, significant improvement of prediction accuracy compared with measured material data is demonstrated. For a unit cell with a fibre and surrounding matrix with typical material properties, a FEM analysis indicates a significant improvement in prediction accuracy in the pure shear load case and a marginal improvement in the biaxial tensile load case. …”

Le jeu vidéo au défi de l’œuvre d’art by Pascal Krajewski

“…Car cette cartographie n’est pas sans rapper l’esthétique goodmanienne, qui offre cinq critères d’articité : densité syntaxique, densité sémantique, saturation relative, exemplification et référence multiple et complexe.Dès lors, s’il est bien convenable de parler du jeu vidéo comme d’un art, il devient concevable de chercher les qualités propres de l’œuvre d’art vidéoludique, ses spécificités, qu’elle ne partage avec celle d’aucun autre médium. Nous proposons d’en retenir deux : le défi et l’implication.…”
