Stem cells have been the subject of increasing scientific interest because of their utility in numerous biomedical applications. Stem cells are capable of renewing themselves; that is, they can be continuously cultured in an undifferentiated state, giving rise to more specialized cells of the human body. Therefore, stem cells are an important new tools for developing unique, in vitro model systems to test drugs and chemicals and a potential to predict or anticipate toxicity in humans. In the present study, in vitro cultured F3 immortalized human neural stem cell line and in vivo adult Sprague Dawley rats was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of anticancer drug paclitaxel. In vitro apoptotic activity of paclitaxel was evaluated in F3 cell line by a MTT assay and DAPI test. The cell death was induced with the treatment of 20 nM paclitaxel and chromatin degradation was detected by DAPI staining, which was analyzed by fluorescent microscope. In vivo studies, we also observed nestin immunoreactivity on subventricular zone, which is stem cell rich region in the adult brain of the SD rat. Immunofluorescent staining result shows that pixel intensities of nestin were decreased in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that paclitaxel is able to induce cytotoxic activity both in F3 neural stem cell line and neural stem cell in SD rat brain.

While artificial neural networks are adept at identifying patterns, they can struggle to distinguish between actual correlations and false associations between extracted facial features and criminal behavior within the training data. These associations may not indicate causal connections. Socioeconomic factors, ethnicity, or even chance occurrences in the data can influence both facial features and criminal activity. Consequently, the artificial neural network might identify linked features without understanding the underlying cause. This raises concerns about incorrect linkages and potential misclassification of individuals based on features unrelated to criminal tendencies. To address this challenge, we propose a novel region-based training approach for artificial neural networks focused on criminal propensity detection. Instead of solely relying on overall facial recognition, the network would systematically analyze each facial feature in isolation. This fine-grained approach would enable the network to identify which specific features hold the strongest correlations with criminal activity within the training data. By focusing on these key features, the network can be optimized for more accurate and reliable criminal propensity prediction. This study examines the effectiveness of various algorithms for criminal propensity classification. We evaluate YOLO versions YOLOv5 and YOLOv8 alongside VGG-16. Our findings indicate that YOLO achieved the highest accuracy 0.93 in classifying criminal and non-criminal facial features. While these results are promising, we acknowledge the need for further research on bias and misclassification in criminal justice applications

사람의 의도를 인지하기 위해 감정을 시각적으로 인식하는 연구는 전통적으로 감정을 드러내는 얼굴 표정을 인식하는 데 집중해 왔다. 최근에는 감정을 드러내는 신체 언어 즉 신체 행동과 자세를 통해 감정을 나타내는 방법에서 감정 인식의 새로운 가능성을 찾고 있다. 본 연구는 신경생리학의 시각계 처리 방법을 적용한 신경모델을 구축하여 행동에서 기본 감정 의도를 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 시각 피질의 정보 처리 모델에 따라 생물학적 체계의 신경모델 검출기를 구축하여 신체 행동의 정적 자세에서 6가지 주요 기본 감정을 판별한다. 파라미터 변화에 강건한 제안 모델의 성능은 신체행동 자세 집합을 대상으로 사람 관측자와의 평가 결과를 비교 평가하여 가능성을 제시한다.

This study aims to develop a human activity recognition (HAR) system as a Deep-Learning (DL) classification model, distinguishing various human activities. We solely rely on the signals from a wristband accelerometer worn by a person for the user's convenience. 3-axis sequential acceleration signal data are gathered within a predefined time-window-slice, and they are used as input to the classification system. We are particularly interested in developing a Deep-Learning model that can outperform conventional machine learning classification performance. A total of 13 activities based on the laboratory experiments' data are used for the initial performance comparison. We have improved classification performance using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) combined with an auto-encoder feature reduction and parameter tuning. With various publically available HAR datasets, we could also achieve significant improvement in HAR classification. Our CNN model is also compared against Recurrent-Neural-Network(RNN) with Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) to demonstrate its superiority. Noticeably, our model could distinguish both general activities and near-identical activities such as sitting down on the chair and floor, with almost perfect classification accuracy.

In this paper, we propose AnoVid, an automated video annotation tool based on deep neural networks, that automatically generates various meta data for each scene or shot in a long drama video containing rich elements. To this end, a novel meta data schema for drama video is designed. Based on this schema, the AnoVid video annotation tool has a total of six deep neural network models for object detection, place recognition, time zone recognition, person recognition, activity detection, and description generation. Using these models, the AnoVid can generate rich video annotation data. In addition, AnoVid provides not only the ability to automatically generate a JSON-type video annotation data file, but also provides various visualization facilities to check the video content analysis results. Through experiments using a real drama video, "Misaeing", we show the practical effectiveness and performance of the proposed video annotation tool, AnoVid.

Aiming at the problem of complex feature extraction and low accuracy in human action recognition, this paper proposed a network structure combining batch normalization algorithm with GoogLeNet network model. Applying Batch Normalization idea in the field of image classification to action recognition field, it improved the algorithm by normalizing the network input training sample by mini-batch. For convolutional network, RGB image was the spatial input, and stacked optical flows was the temporal input. Then, it fused the spatio-temporal networks to get the final action recognition result. It trained and evaluated the architecture on the standard video actions benchmarks of UCF101 and HMDB51, which achieved the accuracy of 93.42% and 67.82%. The results show that the improved convolutional neural network has a significant improvement in improving the recognition rate and has obvious advantages in action recognition.

In this paper, We introduce electrical tracking generated from surface activity associated with flow of leakage current on insulator under wet and contaminated conditions and design electrical tracking pattern recognition system by using LabVIEW. We measure the leaking current of contaminated wire by using LabVIEW software and the NI-c-DAQ 9172 and NI-9239 hardware. As pattern recognition algorithm and optimization algorithm for electrical tracking system, neural networks, Radial Basis Function Neural Networks(RBFNNs) and particle swarm optimization are exploited. The designed electrical tracking recognition system consists of two parts such as the hardware part of electrical tracking generator, the NI-c-DAQ 9172 and NI-9239 hardware and the software part of LabVIEW block diagram, LabVIEW front panel and pattern recognition-related application software. The electrical tracking system decides whether electrical tracking generate or not on electrical wire.

In this paper, a novel neural network approach is proposed for cleaning robot to complete coverage path planning with obstacle avoidance in stationary and dynamic environments. The dynamics of each neuron in the topologically organized neural network is characterized by a shunting equation derived from Hodgkin and Huxley's membrane equation. There are only local lateral connections among neurons. The robot path is autonomously generated from the dynamic activity landscape of the neural network and the previous robot location without any prior knowledge of the dynamic environment.

After the Versatile Video Coding (VVC)/H.266 standard was completed, the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) began to investigate new technologies that could significantly increase coding gain for the next generation video coding standard. One direction is to investigate signal processing based tools, while the other is to investigate Neural Network based technology. Neural Network based Video Coding (NNVC) has not been studied previously, and this is the first trial of such an approach in the standard group. After two years of research, JVET produced the first common software called Neural Compression Software (NCS) with two NN-based in-loop filtering tools at the 27th meeting and began to maintain NN-based technologies for the common experiment. The coding performances of the two filters in NCS-1.0 are shown to be 8.71% and 9.44% on average in a random access scenario, respectively. All the material related to NCS can be found in the repository of the JVET. In this paper, we provide a brief overview and review of the NNVC activity studied in JVET in order to provide trend and insight for the new direction of video coding standard.
