Progressive alignment and interwoven composition network for image stitching by Xiaoting Fan, Long Sun, Zhong Zhang, Tariq S. Durrani

“…Then, an interwoven image composition module is presented to seamlessly fuse aligned image pairs, where the complementary information of one-view is captured to guide another-view in an interweaved way. Finally, an alignment loss and a composition loss are introduced to reduce alignment distortions and enhance seam consistency of the final image stitching results. …”

The Proapoptotic Effect of MB-653 Is Associated with the Modulation of Metastasis and Invasiveness-Related Signalling Pathways in Human Colorectal Cancer Cells by Libor Sokoli, Peter Takáč, Mariana Budovská, Radka Michalková, Martin Kello, Natália Nosálová, Ľudmila Balážová, Šimon Salanci, Ján Mojžiš

“…Additionally, MB-653 induces dose-dependent G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, the cause of which could be cyclin B1/CDC2 complex dysfunction and/or a decrease in α-tubulin protein expression. Another important observation was that MB-653 modulated several signalling pathways associated with various cellular activities, including survival, proliferation, tumour invasiveness, metastasis, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). …”

Le développement durable face à sa crise : un concept menacé, sous-exploité ou dépassé ? by Jacques Theys

“…One possible explanation for this fading is that “sustainable development” has been deeply embedded in the context of the globalisation process which began at the end of the eighties and ended with the economic crisis in 2008. Another possible reason is the overuse – and misuse- which has been done of this badly defined notion during the last twenty years- with a weak efficiency: the ambiguity – which has strongly contributed to its historical success-, turns now to be a factor of distrust. …”
