Gradient boosting regression for faster Partitioned Iterated Function Systems‐based head pose estimation by Paola Barra, Riccardo Distasi, Chiara Pero, Stefano Ricciardi, Maurizio Tucci

“…Since, so far, the primary aim in HPE research has been on improving estimation accuracy, there are only a few works reporting the computing time of the proposed HPE method and even less explicitly addressing it. The present work stems from a previous Partitioned Iterated Function Systems‐based approach providing state‐of‐the‐art accuracy with high computing cost, and improve it by means of two regression models, namely Gradient Boosting Regressor and Extreme Gradient Boosting Regressor, achieving much faster response and an even lower mean absolute error on the yaw and roll axis, as shown by experiments conducted on the BIWI and AFLW2000 datasets.…”

Oncogenic functions of the cancer-testis antigen SSX on the proliferation, survival, and signaling pathways of cancer cells. by Padraig D'Arcy, Wessen Maruwge, Barry Wolahan, Limin Ma, Bertha Brodin

“…Tumor biopsies from SSX silenced tumors displayed reduced cyclin A staining, indicative of low proliferation and predominantly cycloplasmic β-catenin compared to SSX expressing tumors. The present study demonstrates a previously unknown function of SSX, that as an oncogene and as a tumor target for the development of novel anti-cancer drugs.…”

The intracellular threonine of amyloid precursor protein that is essential for docking of Pin1 is dispensable for developmental function. by Alessia P M Barbagallo, Zilai Wang, Hui Zheng, Luciano D'Adamio, Luciano D'Adamio

“…<h4>Conclusions/significance</h4>Our results argue against an important role of the Thr(668) residue in the essential function of APP in developmental regulation. Furthermore, they indicate that phosphorylation at this residue is not functionally involved in those APP-mediated functions that prevent (NMJ) defects and early lethality in APLP2 null mice.…”
