Model-based tracking by classification in a tiny discrete pose space

A method is presented for tracking 3D objects as they transform rigidly in space within a sparse range image sequence. The method operates in discrete space and exploits the coherence across image frames that results from the relationship between known bounds on the object's velocity and the sensor frame rate. These motion bounds allow the interframe transformation space to be reduced to a reasonable and indeed tiny size, comprising only tens or hundreds of possible states. The tracking problem is in this way cast into a classification framework, effectively trading off localization precision for runtime efficiency and robustness. The method has been implemented and tested extensively on a variety of freeform objects within a sparse range data stream comprising only a few hundred points per image. It has been shown to compare favorably against continuous domain iterative closest point (ICP) tracking methods, performing both more efficiently and more robustly. A hybrid method has also been implemented that executes a small number of ICP iterations following the initial discrete classification phase. This hybrid method is both more efficient than the ICP alone and more robust than either the discrete classification method or the ICP separately     

Security Policy Conflicts in Service-oriented Systems

This paper considers methods for knowledge exploitation in security policies for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments, discovering the modality conflicts in particular. Two algorithms for discovering SOA-specific modality conflicts are proposed. First, a trivial (ad-hoc) approach is presented and further extended by the improved algorithm which offers lower time complexity. The formal verification of the proposal is followed by experimental results confirming the expected supremacy of the improved algorithm.     

适应市场需求,积极拓展工程咨询产业链

我国工程咨询业是顺应改革开放和经济体制改革的要求而不断发展起来的，从上世纪八十年代开始，发展至今也只有短短二十几年时间。在此期间，政府对工程建设投资领域不断进行改革，如1995年颁布的《工程建设监理规定》，1996年颁布的《实行建设项目法人责任制的规定》，2003和2004年颁布的《关于培育发展工程总承包和工程项目管理企业的指导意见》及《建设工程项目管理试行办法》等项目投资与管理法规的实施，尤其是2004年颁布的《国务院关于投资体制改革的决定》的实施，对工程咨询业的发展产生了极其深刻的影响。     

125I-TOC和125I-F-PGA放射化学纯度的测定

为比较3种测定¹²⁵I标记的奥曲肽（TOC）和叶酸-青霉素酰化酶复合物（F-PGA）的放射化学纯度（RCP）的方法是否具有一致性，采用Iodogen法对TOC和F-PGA进行放射性碘标记，并用高效液相色谱法（HPLC）、三氯醋酸（TCA）沉淀法和纸层析法测定标记物的放射化学纯度（RCP），其中TCA沉淀法设4种蛋白浓度以观察其对RCP测定的影响。结果表明，HPLC和纸层析法均能有效分离标记物和游离碘，且HPLC测定这种标记物的RCP最为精确可信。在TCA沉淀法中，用0.2%的小牛血清白蛋白（BSA）测得的RCP最低,而用其它3个BSA浓度测得的RCP则无明显差异（P＞0.05）；当RCP＜10%时，TCA沉淀法与纸层析法测得的RCP间无明显差异（P＞0.05），而要高于HPLC（P＜0.01）；当RCP＞10%时，对¹²⁵I-TOC而言，TCA沉淀法要略低于HPLC和纸层析（P＜0.05），但后2种方法无明显差异（P＞0.05），且对¹²⁵I-F-PGA而言，3种方法无明显差异（P＞0.05）。3种方法两两之间显著相关（r=0.996～0.999，P＜0.001）。     

Annexin V的125I标记及其在正常小鼠体内的分布

采用Iodogen法对Annexin V进行了^125I标记,并观察了其在正常小鼠体内的分布情况.标记结果显示,^125I-Annexin V 标记率达94.9%,纯化后放化纯度达99%;室温放置72 h后,放化纯度仍保持在92%以上,表明其体外稳定性较好.生物分布结果显示,^125I-Annexin V在肾脏中放射活性最高,其次为血液、肝脏、心、肺、脾;脑不吸收^125I-Annexin V;肌肉、骨骼组织摄取亦较少;各组织、器官放射性摄取在1 h内除血液下降稍慢外,其余均有明显下降.表明^125I-Annexin V 适合用作核医学诊断试剂.     

镜面式与阻容式露点仪测试SF6气体微水时的对比及分析

通过现场的实例,说明镜面式露点仪及阻容式露点仪由于试验方法的不同,会在SF6气体存在某些杂质的情况下,使测得的露点值相差很大,从而导致由露点换算出来的SF6气体微水含最结果也相差很大.由此引发了对试验方法、监督指标、设备的安全运行等问题的讨论,并提出了一些建议.     

Effects of Various Disinfection Methods on the Material Properties of Silicone Dental Impressions of Different Types and Viscosities

There is an ongoing search for novel disinfection techniques that are not only effective, cheap, and convenient, but that also do not have adverse effects on the properties of dental impressions. We compared the effects of various methods (UVC, gaseous ozone, commercial solution, and spray) on the dimensional change, tensile strength, and hardness of silicone impressions. Moreover, as a secondary aim, we performed a statistical comparison of the properties of nondisinfected addition (Panasil Putty Soft, Panasil monophase Medium, Panasil initial contact Light) and condensation silicones (Zetaplus Putty and Oranwash L), as well as a comparison of materials of various viscosities (putty, medium-bodied, and light-bodied). Our results revealed that addition silicones had higher dimensional stability, tensile strength, and Shore A hardness compared to condensation silicones. Both traditional (immersion and spraying) and alternative methods of disinfection (UVC and ozone) had no significant impact on the tensile properties and dimensional stability of the studied silicones; however, they significantly affected the hardness, particularly of Oranwash L. Our study demonstrated that, similarly to standard liquid disinfectants, both UVC and ozone do not strongly affect the material properties of most silicones. However, before recommendation, their usefulness for each individual material should be thoroughly evaluated.     

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein (RBD) Subunit Adsorption at Abiotic Surfaces and Corona Formation at Polymer Particles

The adsorption kinetics of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein subunit with the receptor binding domain at abiotic surfaces was investigated. A combination of sensitive methods was used such as atomic force microscopy yielding a molecular resolution, a quartz microbalance, and optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy. The two latter methods yielded in situ information about the protein adsorption kinetics under flow conditions. It was established that at pH 3.5–4 the protein adsorbed on mica and silica surfaces in the form of compact quasi-spherical aggregates with an average size of 14 nm. The maximum coverage of the layers was equal to 3 and 1 mg m⁻² at pH 4 and 7.4, respectively. The experimental data were successfully interpreted in terms of theoretical results derived from modeling. The experiments performed for flat substrates were complemented by investigations of the protein corona formation at polymer particles carried out using in situ laser Doppler velocimetry technique. In this way, the zeta potential of the protein layers was acquired as a function of the coverage. Applying the electrokinetic model, these primary data were converted to the dependence of the subunit zeta potential on pH. It was shown that a complete acid-base characteristic of the layer can be acquired only using nanomolar quantities of the protein.
