We propose an information-fusion approach based on belief functions to combine convolutional neural networks. In this approach, several pre-trained DS-based CNN architectures extract features from input images and convert them into mass different frames of discernment. A fusion module then aggregates these using Dempster’s rule. An end-to-end learning procedure allows us fine-tune the overall a...

Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy has been applied to image the final stage of constitutive exocytosis, which is the fusion of single post-Golgi carriers with the plasma membrane. The use of a membrane protein tagged with green fluorescent protein allowed the kinetics of fusion to be followed with a time resolution of 30 frames/s. Quantitative analysis allowed carriers undergoin...

herpes simplex virus 1 (hsv-1) unspliced 8.3 latency associated transcript (lat), which located in the long repeat sequences, has been shown to contain at least 16 open reading frames (orf: a-p). one of these orf, orf p, maps almost entirely antisense to hsv-1 neurovirulence gene, icp34.5. both orf p and icp34.5 are located in the long repeat and are antisense overlapping genes. therefore, in o...

Accurately detecting and classifying vesicle-plasma membrane fusion events in fluorescence microscopy, is of primary interest for studying biological activities in a close proximity to the plasma membrane. In this paper, we present a novel Gaussian mixture model for automated identification of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) vesicle and plasma membrane fusions and classification of full fusion an...

A fully functional, prototype night vision camera system is described which produces true-color imagery, using a visible/near-infrared (VNIR) color EMCCD camera, fused with the output from a thermal long-wave infrared (LWIR) microbolometer camera. The fusion is performed in a manner that displays the complimentary information from both sources without destroying the true-color information. The ...

All retroviruses and retrotransposons studied to date regulate the relative levels of gag and pol/int gene products post-transcriptionally from a single mRNA. In these genetic elements the production of protein encoded by the pol and int genes is attenuated by a translational stop or frameshift in the reading frame preceding their coding regions in the mRNA. We show here that the Drosophila ret...
