A Block-Based and Highly Parallel CNN Accelerator for Seed Sorting by Xiaoting Sang, Zhenghui Hu, Huanyu Li, Chunlei Li, Zhoufeng Liu

“…For embedded devices, the high-power consumption of graphics processing units (GPUs) is generally prohibitive, and the field programmable gate array (FPGA) becomes a solution to perform high-speed inference by providing a customized accelerator for a particular user. To date, the recognition speeds of the FPGA-based universal accelerators for high-throughput seed sorting tasks are slow, which cannot guarantee real-time seed sorting. …”

Chronic Inflammation as a Link between Periodontitis and Carcinogenesis by Anilei Hoare, Cristopher Soto, Victoria Rojas-Celis, Denisse Bravo

“…Considering that periodontitis is a polymicrobial disease, it is likely that mixed species promote carcinogenesis both in the oral cavity and in extra oral tissues and probably—as observed in periodontitis—synergistic and/or antagonistic interactions occur between microbes in the community. To date, a good amount of studies has allowed us to understand how monospecies infections activate pathways involved in tumorigenesis; however, more studies are needed to determine the combined effect of oral species in carcinogenesis.…”
