Multi-exposure fusion(MEF) are techniques to obtain the high dynamic range. One of MEF methods, guided filtering-based fusion(GFF) has good performance for preserving details of original images. However, GFF method considers only details, which causes a problem of missing color information. To solve this problem, we proposed a saliency map-based approach for considering both detail and color in...

Mycoparasitic species of the fungal genus Trichoderma are potent antagonists able to combat plant pathogenic fungi by direct parasitism. An essential step in this mycoparasitic fungus-fungus interaction is the detection of the fungal host followed by activation of molecular weapons in the mycoparasite by host-derived signals. The Trichoderma atroviride MAP kinase Tmk1, a homolog of yeast Fus3/K...

Cell communication is essential for eukaryotic development, but our knowledge of molecules and mechanisms required for intercellular communication is fragmentary. In particular, the connection between signal sensing and regulation of cell polarity is poorly understood. In the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora crassa, germinating spores mutually attract each other and subsequently fuse. During t...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) contains PPE family antigens which are Proline and glutamic acid rich and may play important role as T cell antigens. Hence the identification and generation of antigens are necessary for immunological characterization. In the present study, the epitopic region of a unique PPE gene encoding 34.9 kDa protein from Map was amplified by polymerase c...

Global land cover is an important parameter of the land surface and has been derived by various researchers based on remote sensing images. Each land cover product has its own disadvantages and limitations. Data fusion technology is becoming a notable method to fully integrate existing land cover information. In this paper, we developed a method to generate a synergetic global land cover map (s...

Adhesion of cells to surfaces is a basic and important requirement in cell culture and tissue engineering. Here, we designed artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) mimics for efficient cellular attachment, based on mussel adhesive protein (MAP) fusion with biofunctional peptides originating from ECM materials, including fibronectin, laminin, and collagen. Cellular behaviors, including attachment...

Abstract Aiming at the problem that Yolov5 is difficult to accurately detect backlighting and small samples in national grid power transmission distribution operations, studies illegal behavior technology of “two wear one wear” operation, proposes a violation recognition algorithm based on enhanced YOLOv5. First, add new detection layer use BiFPN (bi-directional feature pyramid network) for fus...

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
