Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating hydroxyl radical and removing organic pollutants in water by utilizing an organic membrane. The inventive method generates hydroxyl radical by adopting a nitrocellulose membrane as a photocatalytic material, placing the nitrocellulose membrane in water, illuminating with the sun or a sunlamp having a wavelength above 280 nm as a light source, and causing the nitrocellulose membrane to undergo a photochemical reaction at the membrane surface, and the generation rate of hydroxyl radical can be achieved by adjusting the surface area of the membrane and a light intensity. The generated hydroxyl radical can remove phenol, bisphenol A, thiamphenicol and other typical organic pollutants in water very well.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting objects by using subcategory-aware convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is presented. The method includes generating object region proposals from an image by a region proposal network (RPN) which utilizes subcategory information, and classifying and refining the object region proposals by an object detection network (ODN) that simultaneously performs object category classification, subcategory classification, and bounding box regression. The image is an image pyramid used as input to the RPN and the ODN. The RPN and the ODN each include a feature extrapolating layer to detect object categories with scale variations among the objects.

Abstract: Encoding a file into a plurality of chunks, wherein a subset of the plurality of chunks may be used to create a functional equivalent of the file. At least one additional chunk is created from the plurality of chunks. The at least one additional chunk is directed to be stored in a cache memory and the plurality of chunks are directed to be stored on at least one storage node. Upon demand for the file, at least one additional chunk is cased to be retrieved from the cache and at least a portion of the plurality of chunks are caused to be retrieved from the at least one storage node and the functional equivalent of the file is constructed through utilization of the at least one additional chunk and the portion of the plurality of chunks.

The formulations include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or are provided as part of a medical device or coating. The formulations may also include other therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agents. The formulation can be administered as appropriate for treatment of one or more disorders or conditions. For example, the formulation may be applied to repair an injury or during surgery of the lung, eye or dura, or following an epidural or spinal tap, to stop leakage of blood, interstitial fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid. The formulation may be administered to a burn or ulcer. The formulation may be dispersed in a suture or adhesive for administration at the time of or as released following suturing or gluing of a wound, thereby limiting bleeding, loss of tissue fluids, or other fluids such as those produced by parenchymal tissues such as the liver, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for quantitative analysis of nuclear medicine brain imaging. The method comprises retrieving a target image, wherein the target image is a brain image as a nuclear medicine image produced from a radiopharmaceutical, then matching the position of a space axis and the size of a voxel of the target image to a standard template by an affine transformation, wherein the standard template comprises a relative position of striatum. The method further comprises selecting the striatum from the target image according to the relative position of the striatum in the standard template and calculating an average value of the striatum, dividing the striatum from the target image and calculating a background value based on a remainder pixel value of the target image, and a specific uptake ratio is calculated based on the average value of the striatum and the background value.

Abstract: A general methodology for highly sensitive and selective sensors and devices that can achieve portable, low-cost and quantitative detection of target enzymes and metabolites using a personal glucose meter (PGM) is disclosed. The method and sensors take advantage of the ability of PGMs to detect enzyme cofactors or coenzymes, such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Based on this observation, enzymes and metabolites involved in enzymatic reactions that consume or generate a coenzyme such as NADH or NADPH can be detected using PGMs, for example by measuring increases or decreases in NADH or NADPH levels. Methods of using such sensors and fluidic devices for detecting target enzymes and metabolites, for example to diagnose disease, are also provided.
