Spatial frequency preferences of representations of indoor and natural scene categories in scene-selective regions under different conditions of contrast by Yuanyuan Zhang, Qiaomu Miao, Baolin Liu

“…The results showed the scene-selective regions were more efficient in distinguishing natural scene categories in LSF, and the LSF was preferentially used along with high luminance contrast in recognition of natural scenes. On the other hand, humans preferentially used HSF information in distinguishing indoor scenes.DiscussionThis distinct SF preferences maybe caused by the different aspects of information conveyed by LSF and HSF, as well as the different strategies of spatial perception in natural and indoor scenes recognition.…”

Development and Validation of a Bordetella pertussis Whole-Genome Screening Strategy by Ricardo da Silva Antunes, Lorenzo G. Quiambao, Aaron Sutherland, Ferran Soldevila, Sandeep Kumar Dhanda, Sandra K. Armstrong, Timothy J. Brickman, Tod Merkel, Bjoern Peters, Alessandro Sette

“…Here, we compare the T cell reactivity of original aP and wP priming for different antigens contained or not contained in the aP vaccine and define the basis of a full-scale genomic map of memory T cell reactivity to BP antigens in humans. Our data show that the original priming after birth with aP vaccines has higher T cell reactivity than originally expected against a variety of BP antigens and that the genome-wide mapping of BP using an ex vivo screening methodology is feasible, unbiased, and reproducible. …”

Improvement in the Accuracy of the Postclassification of Land Use and Land Cover Using Landsat 8 Data Based on the Majority of Segment-Based Filtering Approach by Fajar Yulianto, Gatot Nugroho, Galdita Aruba Chulafak, Suwarsono Suwarsono

“…Improvement in the accuracy of the postclassification of land use and land cover (LULC) is important to fulfil the need for the rapid mapping of LULC that can describe the changing conditions of phenomena resulting from interactions between humans and the environment. This study proposes the majority of segment-based filtering (MaSegFil) as an approach that can be used for spatial filters of supervised digital classification results. …”

FOOD PRODUCT CONTAMINATION RISKS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF PRODUCTION by O. I. Lavrukhina, V. G. Amelin, L. B. Prokhvatilova, O. I. Ruchnova

“…Feed can be a potential source of contamination of raw materials and animal food products as a result of bioaccumulation and transfer of toxic agents and their metabolites to meat, offal, milk and eggs. Total risk for humans will be determined basing not only on consumption of plant products containing toxins, but also on secondary contaminants (toxins and their metabolites) getting in to the body with food products and animal raw materials.…”

Short-Term Bixin Supplementation of Healthy Subjects Decreases the Susceptibility of LDL to Cu2+-Induced Oxidation Ex Vivo by Lisiane Conte, Sabrina Somacal, Sabrina Marafiga Nichelle, Cristine Rampelotto, Silvino Sasso Robalo, Miguel Roehrs, Tatiana Emanuelli

“…Some studies have already demonstrated that these compounds have antioxidant and antiatherogenic potential in vitro and in animal models, but there is no evidence supporting the effects of their long-term or short-term consumption by humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of short-term intake of annatto carotenoids on biochemical and oxidative stress biomarkers as well as on the susceptibility of LDL oxidation in healthy individuals, using lycopene as a positive control. …”
