Collective and Cooperative Behaviour Models
2016
International audience; In modelling residential choice we cannot escape the debate about the effect of societal context on an individual’s decision-making. This debate depends on whether we set more store by the aggregate scale of society or by the individual’s decision-making. An individual-centred approach will focus on the particularities of an individual and the way her past, for example, influences her decisions.
Deep CNN for IIF Images Classification in Autoimmune Diagnostics
2019
The diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune diseases are very important problem in medicine. The most used test for this purpose is the antinuclear antibody (ANA) test. An indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) test performed by Human Epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells as substrate antigen is the most common methods to determine ANA. In this paper we present an automatic HEp-2 specimen system based on a convolutional neural network method able to classify IIF images. The system consists of a module for features extraction based on a pre-trained AlexNet network and a classification phase for the cell-pattern association using six support vector machines and a k-nearest neighbors classifier. The class…
Deep Convolutional Neural Network for HEp-2 fluorescence intensity classification
2019
Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) assays are recommended as the gold standard method for detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), which are of considerable importance in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. Fluorescence intensity analysis is very often complex, and depending on the capabilities of the operator, the association with incorrect classes is statistically easy. In this paper, we present a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) system to classify positive/negative fluorescence intensity of HEp-2 IIF images, which is important for autoimmune diseases diagnosis. The method uses the best known pre-trained CNNs to extract features and a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for the …
A multi-process system for HEp-2 cells classification based on SVM
2016
An automatic system for pre-segmented IIF images analysis was developed.A non-standard pipeline for supervised image classification was adopted.The system uses a two-level pyramid to retain some spatial information.From each cell image 216 features are extracted.15 SVM classifiers one-against-one have been implemented. This study addresses the classification problem of the HEp-2 cells using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) image analysis, which can indicate the presence of autoimmune diseases by finding antibodies in the patient serum. Recently, studies have shown that it is possible to identify the cell patterns using IIF image analysis and machine learning techniques. In this paper we de…
An Automatic HEp-2 Specimen Analysis System Based on an Active Contours Model and an SVM Classification
2019
The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is widely used for screening, diagnosing, and monitoring of autoimmune diseases. The most common methods to determine ANA are indirect immunofluorescence (IIF), performed by human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells, as substrate antigen. The evaluation of ANA consist an analysis of fluorescence intensity and staining patterns. This paper presents a complete and fully automatic system able to characterize IIF images. The fluorescence intensity classification was obtained by performing an image preprocessing phase and implementing a Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier. The cells identification problem has been addressed by developing a flexible segmentati…
Measuring Effort in Subprocesses of Subtitling
2021
There has been noticeable growth in the use and production of intralingual and interlingual subtitles due to technological advances and accessibility legislation. While the reception of subtitles has been increasingly studied over the years, there are only a few empirical studies that investigate the process of subtitling. This contribution gives initial results from a study that investigates the impact of reference material during post-editing of NMT of audiovisual content via language. The focus is on transcription and translation processes, the two main subprocesses of the complex task of interlingual subtitling. Applying well-established methods from TPR, key-logging and eye tracking, t…
Photoluminescence from strained InAs monolayers in GaAs under pressure
1994
bulk GaAs. At pressures above the band crossover two emission bands are observed. These bands, characterized by having negative pressure coefBcients, are attributed to the type-I transition between conduction-band X „and heavy-hole states of the InAs monolayer and the type-II transition &om X states in GaAs to InAs heavy-hole states. The results are interpreted in terms of tight-binding band-structure calculations for the strained InAs-monolayer — bulk-GaAs system. I. INTRODUCTION Highly strained InAs jGaAs heterostructures have recently attracted interest due to their unusual electronic and optical properties. ~ 4 Epitaxial isomorphic growth of InAs on GaAs can be achieved only up to a sma…
Effects of Nid-levels on the electronic band structure of NixCd1-xO semiconducting alloys
2017
NixCd1-xO has a ∼3 eV band edge offset and bandgap varying from 2.2 to 3.6 eV, which is potentially important for transparent electronic and photovoltaic applications. We present a systematic study of the electronic band structure of NixCd1-xO alloys across the composition range. Ion irradiation of alloy samples leads to a saturation of the electron concentration associated with pinning of the Fermi level (EF) at the Fermi stabilization energy, the common energy reference located at 4.9 eV below the vacuum level. The composition dependence of the pinned EF allows determination of the conduction band minimum (CBM) energy relative to the vacuum level. The unusually strong deviation of the CBM…
Electron–phonon effects on the direct band gap in semiconductors: LCAO calculations
2002
Abstract Using a perturbative treatment of the electron–phonon interaction, we have studied the effect of phonons on the direct band gap of conventional semiconductors. Our calculations are performed in the framework of the tight-binding linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) approach. Within this scheme we have calculated the temperature and isotopic mass dependence of the lowest direct band gap of several semiconductors with diamond and zincblende structure. Our results reproduce the overall trend of available experimental data for the band gap as a function of temperature, as well as give correctly the mass dependence of the band gap on isotopic. A calculation of conduction band in…
