Visible thermal person re-identification (VT-ReID) suffers from inter-modality discrepancy and intra-identity variations. Distribution alignment is a popular solution for VT-ReID, however, it usually restricted to the influence of In this paper, we propose Cross-Modality Earth Mover's Distance (CM-EMD) that can alleviate impact variations during modality alignment. CM-EMD selects an optimal tra...

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides a method by which different spur and helical gear designs can be compared in terms of the risk for surface fatigue. The calculation of surface durability is based on Hertzian contact theory modified by factors for making adjustments peculiar to gearing. These factors are mainly determined through experimentation, and include surf...

OBJECTIVES It is critical to determine the location and configuration of the mandibular canal and related vital structures during the implant treatment. The purpose of the present study was to review the literature concerning the mandibular canal and inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle anatomical variations related to the implant surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature was selected throug...

Phosphatidylinositolbinding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) gene is one novel genetic player associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), based on recent genome wide association studies (GWAS). However, how it affects AD occurrence is still unknown. Brain reserve hypothesis highlights the tolerant capacities of brain as a passive means to fight against neurodegenerations. Here, we ...

OBJECTIVE Diurnal variations in levels of factor VII (FVII), FVIII, proteins C and S, antithrombin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, prothrombin fragment F1+2, and D-dimers in healthy humans point to the existence of circadian rhythms of coagulation factors. We sought for temporal fluctuations of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) activity in human and mouse plasma. METHODS AND RESULTS ...

The genotype-phenotype mapping of proteins is a fundamental question in structural biology. In this Letter, with the analysis large dataset from hundreds protein families, we quantitatively demonstrate correlations between noise-induced dynamics and mutation-induced variations native structures, indicating dynamics-evolution correspondence proteins. Based on investigations linear responses prot...

background blastocystis is a common protozoan parasite in mammals, birds, amphibians,reptiles, fish, arthropods, and annelids. this parasite has some subtypes, which pathogenicity status of them still remained controversial. some of blastocystis subtypes are potentially pathogenic to human. objectives this study has identified the blastocystis hominis subtypes and their prevalence rates in hama...

There is no need to show the importance of the ltering techniques to solve constraint satisfaction problems i.e. to nd values for problem variables subject to constraints that specify which combinations of values are consistent. They can be used during a preprocessing step to remove once and for all some local inconsistencies, or during the search to eeciently prune the search tree. Recently, i...
