One-stage sternal stenting with homograft bone after cardiac operation in pediatric patients

Low cardiac output after open heart operations in neonates and infants carries a high mortality. Delayed sternal closure may be life-saving but may prolong hospital stay and increase costs. To circumvent these issues, we shaped homograft bone and interposed it between the sternal edges to allow primary wound closure in 2 pediatric patients. Midterm results are satisfactory.     

Synthesis and Properties of the Bi-Based Superconducting Powder Prepared by the Pechini Process

Bi-based superconductors are of great interest in high-temperature superconductors. We describe what is believed to be the first synthesis of these materials using the Pechini process, a low-temperature synthetic method that often yields inorganic oxide of excellent phase purity and well-controlled stoichiometry. Using this process, it has been possible to synthesize phase-pure Bi-2223 phase by calcining the appropriate polymeric precursors in air at 800°C for several hours. The superconductivity studies show that the Pechini-synthesized materials appear to offer high-quality performance.     

A knowledge-based approach for retrieving images by content

A knowledge based approach is introduced for retrieving images by content. It supports the answering of conceptual image queries involving similar-to predicates, spatial semantic operators, and references to conceptual terms. Interested objects in the images are represented by contours segmented from images. Image content such as shapes and spatial relationships are derived from object contours according to domain specific image knowledge. A three layered model is proposed for integrating image representations, extracted image features, and image semantics. With such a model, images can be retrieved based on the features and content specified in the queries. The knowledge based query processing is based on a query relaxation technique. The image features are classified by an automatic clustering algorithm and represented by Type Abstraction Hierarchies (TAHs) for knowledge based query processing. Since the features selected for TAH generation are based on context and user profile, and the TAHs can be generated automatically by a clustering algorithm from the feature database, our proposed image retrieval approach is scalable and context sensitive. The performance of the proposed knowledge based query processing is also discussed

结构正则化多视图非负矩阵分解

现存非负矩阵分解（non-negative matrix factorization,NMF）研究多考虑单一视图分解数据,忽略了数据信息的全面性。此外,NMF限制其获取数据的内在几何结构。针对以上问题,提出一个结构正则化多视图非负矩阵分解算法（structure regularized multi-view nonnegative matrix factorization,SRMNMF）。首先,通过主成分分析来对数据进行全局结构的判别式学习;其次,利用流形学习来捕获数据的局部结构;然后,通过利用多视图数据的多样性和差异性来学习表征。模型提升了算法聚类的整体性能,更加有效地挖掘数据的结构信息。此外,采用高效的交替迭代算法优化目标函数得到最优的因子矩阵。在六个数据集上与现存的代表性方法比较,所提出的SRMNMF的准确率、NMI和Purity分别最大提高4.4%、6.1%和4.05%。

Delay‐dependent stability for Markovian genetic regulatory networks with time‐varying delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of stochastic stability analysis for a class of genetic regulatory networks with Markovian jump parameters and time‐varying delays. A delay‐dependent stability criterion is derived by using a novel mode‐dependent Lyapunov functional. The derived stability criterion is expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities and is less conservative than the existing ones in the literature. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed stability criterion. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
