L’archive (re)dessinée : documents et souvenirs dans les bandes dessinées d’Alison Bechdel by Côme Martin

“…Therefore, I want to analyze this double relation to the archive, underlining the particularity of comics on this matter, especially the hybridity of its language, between text and image. The language of comics could have allowed for a simple reproduction of the archive, but Bechdel chooses to rewrite it, and reveal in this way a clear desire of construction her story, and the way she tells it, in relation with herself.…”

Adaptable privacy protection scheme in JPEG images by Hongxin WEN, Fei HU, Nenghai YU

“…The JPEG format is widely used for its high compression rate in image storage.Privacy protection schemes applied to JPEG images not only need to safeguard the content of the privacy region but also maintain the file size.Furthermore, the region of interest (ROI), which contains private information, often occupies only a portion of the entire JPEG image.Protecting only the ROI can help preserve the file size.In light of this, an adaptable privacy protection scheme for JPEG images was proposed.Privacy regions were identified using methods like face detection within the JPEG images.These regions were then modified using the block-based adaptable reversible modification algorithm presented in this study.Reconstruction information was embedded into the image through reversible data hiding.The application of reversible algorithms in the privacy protection process enabled authorized users to fully restore the protected area.By introducing variable parameters, this scheme allowed for the selection of appropriate parameters to meet different practical requirements and achieve optimal encryption results.Additionally, the complex scenario of multiple overlapping ROIs was discussed and resolved.Experimental evaluations were conducted to investigate the influence of parameters on performance, considering both peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and file size increment.The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes in terms of privacy protection and file size when suitable parameters are employed.…”

Seçmen Kararlarında Duyguların Rolü ve İşlevi: Duygusal İçerikli Reklamlar Üzerine Bir Analiz by Mustafa Akdağ, Merve Özdemir

“…Geçmişten bu yana seçmen davranışını anlamaya çalışanlar, seçmenin rasyonel tercihler doğrultusunda karar verme ve seçme işlemini gerçekleştirdiğini belirtse de son dönemde insan davranışını anlamaya çalışan birçok çalışma davranışların sadece mantıksal düzlemde ele alınamayacağını, duygusal faktörlerin de derinlemesine araştırılması gerektiğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. 1950’li yıllardan itibaren yapılan birçok araştırma seçmenin politik kararlarında tamamen mantıksal çıkarımlarda bulunmadığını ve duygusal olarak etkilenme güdüsünün çok daha yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. …”

Pan-cancer analysis shows that TNFSF4 is a potential prognostic and immunotherapeutic biomarker for multiple cancer types including liver cancer by Zhaoda Deng, Lincheng Li, Zihe Meng, Guineng Zeng, Rui Cao, Rong Liu

“…Abstract Background As a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4) is expressed on antigen-presenting cells and activated T cells by binding to its receptor TNFRSF4. However, tumorigenicity of TNFSF4 has not been studied in pan-cancer. …”

Technical considerations towards commercialization of porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome (PRRS) virus resistant pigs by A. Mark Cigan, Pieter W. Knap

“…Rather than backcrossing the resistance gene from a few non-commercial founders, as a global supplier of high genetic merit livestock genetics, Genus plc and its pig division PIC (Pig Improvement Company) with Genus R&D have mobilized advances in reproductive biology, gene editing, DNA sequencing, and bioinformatics to simultaneously generate and introduce a single modified CD163 allele across four genetically diverse porcine lines of commercial importance that prevents PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection. …”

Domain of interests clustering algorithm based on users’ preferred topics by GONG Wei-hua1, YANG Liang-huai1, JIN Rong2, DING Wei-long1

“…In order to solve the problem of users’ preferences changing frequently,an iterative computing method was presented to gain the weights of users’ preferences as time goes.A bipartite graph was constructed to show the relations of users’ interests and topic classes.On this base,a novel topic-based clustering（TBC） algorithm was proposed to group the nearest neighbors according to users’ interests,which had changed the usual hard partition method meaning "one or the other" for the clustering items.And the partitioned domains of users’ interests based on multiple topics was also es-tablished by the algorithm,which not only fully profiled users’ interests and the relations of topics indirectly reflected in different domains,but also could adaptively track the changes of users’ interests.Experimental results show that TBC method has better declustering outcome of users’ interests than both the traditional K-Means algorithm and FCM method belonged to the soft clustering,and the TBC algorithm also has higher recommendation quality and better efficiency in personalized recommender services.…”
