This paper proposes a new Generative Partition Network (GPN) to address the challenging multi-person pose estimation problem. Different from existing models that are either completely top-down or bottom-up, the proposed GPN introduces a novel strategy—it generates partitions for multiple persons from their global joint candidates and infers instance-specific joint configurations simultaneously....

Spatial land surface heterogeneities are widespread at various scales and represent a great challenge to leaf area index (LAI) retrievals product validations. In this paper, considering the mixed water vegetation pixels prevalent moderate low resolutions, we propose methodological framework for conducting global comparisons of heterogeneous surfaces based on criterion setting search high-resolu...

To meet the exascale I/O requirements for High-Performance Computing (HPC), a new subsystem, Burst Buffer, based on solid state drives (SSD), has been developed. However, diverse HPC workloads and bursty pattern cause severe data fragmentation that requires costly garbage collection (GC) increases number of bytes written to SSD. address this challenge, multi-stream feature developed SSDs. In wo...

In recent years, cyberattacks have become a persistent threat, especially for websites. Therefore, web application security has significant issue in all industries under the evolution of intelligent devices and services. Dealing with imbalanced data is biggest obstacle to providing applications because there are less harmful despite large number innocuous request data. This paper suggests novel...

BACKGROUND To better understand the relationship between mitotic delay and the disruption of cyclin B1 and p21 in x-irradiated fibroblasts, studies were carried out to establish correlations between the downregulation of cyclin B1 by the cyclin kinase inhibitor (CKI) p21 and the induction of mitotic delay in the NIH3T3 fibroblast. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell cycle kinetics were used to analyze...

We have recently described a novel role for pregnancy-upregulated non-ubiquitous calmodulin kinase (Pnck) in the induction of ligand-independent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation (Deb TB, Coticchia CM, Barndt R, Zuo H, Dickson RB, and Johnson MD. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 295: C365-C377, 2008). In the current communication, we explore the probable mechanism by which Pnck induc...

Twelve species of micro-organisms, representing ten diffe.rent. genera, were used in feeding experiments t.o determine t.heir relative value as foods for larvae of oysters (C1'a~.Yosft·ea. vll'ginica) and clams (Ventts 1ne1'ce'lUtru,,). booM'ySM galba'na and Monochrysls lutheri were approximately equal in value as foods for either species of larvae, and were the best single foods for oyster lar...

SQL injection is a highly detrimental web attack technique that can result in significant data leakage and compromise system integrity. To counteract the harm caused by such attacks, researchers have devoted much attention to examination of detection techniques, which progressed from traditional signature-based methods machine- deep-learning-based models. These techniques demonstrated promising...

Histone deacetylase inhibitors that increase histone acetylation on transformed cells are being investigated as unique anticancer drugs. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate an antiproliferative activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitors sodium butyrate (NaBT) and trichostatin A on 5 glioma cell lines, T98G, A172, U-87 MG, U-118 MG, and U-373 MG, with the examination of the altered...
