BACKGROUND Diabetes complications include various symptoms such as diabetic neuropathy and cognitive disorders. Aldose reductase (AR) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyol pathway and is one of the causal factors of diabetes complications. In this study, the bioactivities of eight selected Kampo formulations that are currently in clinical use for diabetes complications were assessed using h...

We produced polyclonal antibody against human androgen receptor (hAR) by means of immunizing a rabbit with hAR fusion protein that was expressed in E. coli. In Western blot analysis, this antibody, NH27, recognized two protein bands at the site of 110 kDa and 107 kDa in androgen-independent human prostatic cancer cells (PC-3), transfected with full-length hAR expression plasmid DNA and at the s...

In-line metrologies currently used in the semiconductor industry are being challenged by the aggressive pace of device scaling and the adoption of novel device architectures. Metrology and process control of three-dimensional (3-D) high-aspect-ratio (HAR) features are becoming increasingly important and also challenging. In this paper we present a feasibility study of through-focus scanning opt...

Adaptive routing can improve network performance and fault-tolerance by providing multiple routing paths. However, the implementation complexity of adaptive routing can be signiicant, discouraging its use in commercial massively parallel systems. In this paper, we introduce Hierarchical Adaptive Routing (HAR), a new adaptive routing framework, which provides a uni-ed framework for simple and hi...

This paper discusses nascent work at Newcastle University’s Digital Interaction Group, focused upon gameifying feature selection for Human Activity Recognition (HAR). The goals are two fold; the first is to mitigate the current need for a HAR expert to develop a feature selection for novel activity recognition problems, whilst the second is to address the need for science communication of this ...

We reported previously that no classical features of hyperacute rejection (HAR) could be found in liver grafts in the guinea-pig (GP)-to-rat model and that recipients died shortly after transplantation of non-immunologic causes. Thus, the GP-to-rat model is not suitable for studying the mechanisms of discordant liver xenograft rejection. In the hamster to rat model, long-term survival of a live...

Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) is a method which determines structural parameters from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data by using an aspherical atom partitioning of tailor-made ab initio quantum mechanical molecular electron densities without any further approximation. Here the original HAR method is extended by implementing an iterative procedure of successive cycles of electron density c...

Human activity recognition (HAR) is an emerging research topic in pattern recognition, especially in computer vision. The main objective of human activity recognition is to automatically detect and analyze human activities from the information acquired from different sensors. Human activity prediction using big data remains a challengingly open problem. Several approaches have recently been dev...

Lärande i LTH har glädjen att presentera professor Keith Trigwell, som 2016 utsågs till hedersdoktor vid Lunds universitet. Keith Trigwell har särskilt studerat sambanden mellan lärares uppfattningar om undervisning och kvaliteten på studenters lärande. Han har lagt fram empiriskt stöd för att lärare som utvecklar sin syn på studenters lärande också i högre grad lyckas få studenterna att använd...

In this paper we examine the feasibility of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) based on head mounted sensors, both as stand-alone sensors and as part of a wearable multi-sensory network. To prove the feasibility of such setting, an interactive online HAR-system has been implemented to enable for multi-sensory activity recognition while making use of a hierarchical sensor fusion. Our system incorp...
