Computer-aided diagnosis through biomedical image analysis is increasingly considered in health sciences. This is due to the progress made on the acquisition side, as well as on the processing one. In vivo visualization of human tissues where one can determine both anatomical and functional information is now possible. The use of these images with efficient intelligent mathematical and processi...

It is well known in the computer science education community that is important to encourage students to acquire programming skills and become creators and not only mere consumers. Different students have different needs and learning styles when introduced to programming and making activities, however it is challenging to accommodate all these needs while you design a workshop activity. In our a...

ed through the Sensor–Actor unit concept. These Sensor–Actor units realize hardware or simulator access and hide the low-level communication from higher-level layers of the robot software. On the mid-level, robot capabilities, such as perception, planning, and motion generation, are implemented in a network transparent way. The high-level layer comprises a set of robot skills, realized as state...

Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for lung cancer, and low-dose aspirin intake reduces lung cancer risk. However, the roles that specific inflammatory cells and their products play in lung carcinogenesis have yet to be fully elucidated. In mice, alveolar macrophage numbers increase as lung tumors progress, and pulmonary macrophage programing changes within 2 weeks of carcinogen exposure. To...

The microsound synthesis framework in the LC computer music programing language integrates objects and library functions that can directly represent microsounds and related manipulations for microsound synthesis. Together with the mechanism that enables seamless collaboration with the unit-generator-based sound synthesis framework, such abstraction can help provide a simpler and terser programi...

From 2012 to 2018, 223 180 Montbéliarde females were genotyped in France and the number of newly increased at a rate about 33% each year. With female genotyping information, farmers have access genomic estimated breeding values their herd carrier status for genetic defects or major genes segregating breed. This combined with coancestry, can be used when planning matings order maximize expected ...

In an Open-Pit Production Scheduling (OPPS) problem, the goal is to determine the mining sequence of an orebody as a block model. In this article, linear programing formulation is used to aim this goal. OPPS problem is known as an NP-hard problem, so an exact mathematical model cannot be applied to solve in the real state. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a well-known member of evolutionary algorithms...

Adipocytes mainly function as energy storage and endocrine cells. Adipose tissues showed the biological and genetic difference based on their depots. The difference of adipocytes between depots might be influenced by the inherent genetic programing for adipogenesis. We used RNA-seq technique to investigate the transcriptomes in 3 adipose tissues of omental (O), subcutaneous (S) and intramuscula...

Programing is difficult for beginners because they need to learn the new language of computers. Developing software, especially complex software, is bound to result in problems, frustration, and the need to think in new ways. Identifying the learning behavior behind programing by way of empirical studies can help beginners learn more easily. In this study, a flipped classroom combined with the ...

We present a new implicit formulation for shift scheduling problems, using context-free grammars to model regulation in the composition of shifts. From the grammar, we generate an integer programming (IP) model allowing the same set of shifts as Dantzig’s set covering model. When solved by a state-of-theart IP solver on problems allowing a small number of shifts, our model, the set covering for...
