Image retargeting is a critical technique for browsing images in diversified terminals. In this paper, we propose a hybrid image resizing approach by jointly using seam carving and warping. Firstly, based on the importance partition with the saliency map, we apply a weighted seam carving approach to make the seams distributed dispersedly in the important regions. Then we propose Content Aware I...

Passive or actuated physical props can provide haptic feedback, leading to a satisfying sense of presence and realism in virtual reality. However, the mismatch between the physical and virtual surfaces (boundaries) can diminish user experience. Haptic retargeting can overcome this limitation by utilizing visio-haptic effects. Previous investigations in haptic retargeting have focused on methods...

The substitution of nucleotides at specific positions in the genome a population, known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), has been correlated with number important diseases. Complex conditions such Alzheimer's disease or Crohn's are significantly linked to genetics when impact multiple SNPs is considered. often interact an epistatic manner, where joint effect may not be simply mapped l...

Seam-carving has achieved the most widespread use with the blossom of content-aware resizing methods. This paper proposes the video retargeting method where the aspect ratio and the size of the video are reduced. It deals with the spatial and temporal coherence for the purpose of resizing videos. The proposed algorithm is mainly based on matching-area-based temporal energy adjustment. Each fram...

Abstract Background Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is favorable choice for gene transfer and editing applications in vivo, due to its low integration rate immunogenicity, as well a variety of natural engineered serotypes providing different tissue cell type tropism. Endothelial cells, however, are remarkably resistant transduction by AAVs. Purpose The aim this study retarget wild AAV9 vectors usi...

Achieving high efficiency, targeted gene delivery with adenoviral vectors is a long-standing goal in the field of clinical gene therapy. To achieve this, platform vectors must combine efficient retargeting strategies with detargeting modifications to ablate native receptor binding (i.e. CAR/integrins/heparan sulfate proteoglycans) and "bridging" interactions. "Bridging" interactions refer to co...
