Semantic tagging of images has a broad spectrum of applications, of both scientific and commercial interest. Experience has indicated that designing the interaction with human taggers in the form of a web game can be a very effective way to collect valuable tagged data. So far, implementations of such games have depended on explicit, deliberate input by the users. A novel alternative is present...

Satellite cells are the resident stem cell population of adult skeletal muscle tissue that is responsible for growth and regeneration. The cells typically congregate near the tips of the muscle fi bers and in close proximity to the neural muscular junction (NMJ). Ephrin-A5 is a chemotactic molecule that participates in the correct positioning and formation of the NMJ. The objective of the exper...

A biplane quadrotor is a hybrid type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that has advantages both fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAVs. In this study, we design controllers using (i) Backstepping Control (BSC), (ii) Integral Terminal Sliding Mode (ITSMC), (iii) Hybrid control (ITSMC + BSC), where the ITSMC controls attitude BSC altitude subsystems as per mathematical model quadrotor. The performance th...

Lenalidomide has been approved for the treatment of transfusion-dependent low- or intermediate-1-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) associated with a chromosome 5q deletion with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. We evaluated the cost effectiveness of lenalidomide versus best supportive care (BSC) in these patients. We developed a decision analytic model to compare costs and out...
