Object recognition is the ability of a system to relate visual stimuli to its knowledge of the world. Although humans perform this task effortlessly and without thinking about it, a general algorithmic solution has not yet been found. Recently, a shift from devising isolated recognition techniques towards integrated systems could be observed [Y. Aloimonos, Active vision revisited, in: Y. Aloimo...

In this work, a recoverable acrylamide-vinylamine copolymer immobilized TEMPO [P(AM-co-VAm)-T] catalyst for selective oxidation of cellulose with good catalytic performance and low degradation was developed. Firstly, the [P(AM-co-VAm)] prepared by Hofmann polyacrylamide (PAM). Then, condensation reduction reaction between amine groups P(AM-co-VAm) carbonyl 4-oxo-TEMPO yielded P(AM-co-VAm)-T. P(...

Extracellular products (ECPs) of the pathogenic Vibrio aestuarianus 01/32 were previously reported to display lethality in Crassostrea gigas oysters and to cause morphological changes and immunosuppression in oyster hemocytes. To identify the source of this toxicity, biochemical and genetic approaches were developed. ECP protease activity and lethality were shown to be significantly reduced fol...

A two-dimensional (2-D) finite element model (FEM) has been developed to perform numerical simulations of vibration assisted machining (VAM). The model is based on an updated Lagrangian formulation, with adaptive remeshing. The model is capable of simulating the amplitude and frequency independently of the tool in the cutting (x) and thrust (y) force directions over a wide range of values. The ...

We use the Exemplar-Based Random-Walk model (EBRW) to extend the Varying Abstraction Model (VAM). Unlike the VAM which is designed to account for categorization proportions, this Varying Abstraction-Based Random-Walk (VABRW) model is able to predict categorization response times. The extension is especially useful in situations where response accuracies are not very informative for distinguishi...

Formation of DNA adducts is a key event during carcinogenesis. adducts, if not repaired properly, can lead to mutations and cancer. have been frequently used as biomarkers evaluate chemical exposure. Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) widely in the manufacture various industrial polymers. Previous studies documented that VAM induced nasal tumors rodents exposed high exposure levels VAM. metabolized by...

Objective We evaluated the safety and efficacy of vonoprazan-based amoxicillin and clarithromycin 7-day triple therapy (VAC) in comparison to proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based (PAC) as a first-line treatment and vonoprazan-based amoxicillin and metronidazole 7-day triple therapy (VAM) in comparison to PPI-based (PAM) as a second-line treatment for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in Japan...

The goal of the experiment was to determine performance Mung bean when it treated with bio-fertilizers, Neem-coated urea, and foliar NPK (12:32:16) in an integrated manner. carried out research farm Lovely Professional University Phagwara, Punjab, during Kharif season 2022–2023. laid Randomized block design eight treatments, T1- Control (20:40:00 kg/ha); T2- Foliar application (12:32:16); T3- 7...

Background: Vinyl acetate monomer is a commodity chemical widely used in the manufacturing of various products. The chemical is hazardous and exposure to it may occur in both occupational and non-occupational settings. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of short-term exposure to Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) vapour on the liver and lungs of Wistar rats. Methods: Mice weighing ...
