Modeling Bottom-Up Visual Attention Using Dihedral Group D4
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-15)
In this paper, first, we briefly describe the dihedral group D4 that serves as the basis for
calculating saliency in our proposed model. Second, our saliency model makes two major changes in
a latest state-of-the-art model known as group-based asymmetry. First, based on the properties of
the dihedral group D4, we simplify the asymmetry calculations associated with the measurement
of saliency. ...
Novel antimicrobial peptides EeCentrocins 1, 2 and EeStrongylocin 2 from the Edible sea urchin Echinus esculentus have 6-br-trp post-translational modifications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-23)
The global problem of microbial resistance to antibiotics has resulted in an urgent need to
develop new antimicrobial agents. Natural antimicrobial peptides are considered promising
candidates for drug development. Echinoderms, which rely on innate immunity factors in
the defence against harmful microorganisms, are sources of novel antimicrobial peptides.
This study aimed to isolate and characterise ...
Future time reference in Lule Saami, with some remarks on Finnish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
The paper provides an account of future time reference (FTR) in Lule Saami.
While previous accounts of the language claim that the Lule Saami <i>galggat</i> ‘shall; must;
intend’ is a future auxiliary, there are two other potential candidates for what might be
called a future tense as well. On the basis of actual language use, the potential mood
in Lule Saami does not always refer to states of ...
Methyl jasmonate: An alternative for improving the quality and health properties of fresh fruits
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-31)
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a plant growth regulator belonging to the jasmonate family.
It plays an important role as a possible airborne signaling molecule mediating intra- and inter-plant
communications and modulating plant defense responses, including antioxidant systems. Most
assessments of this compound have dealt with post-harvest fruit applications, demonstrating induced
plant resistance ...
On the developmental and environmental regulation of secondary metabolism in Vaccinium spp. berries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-18)
Secondary metabolites have important defense and signaling roles, and they contribute
to the overall quality of developing and ripening fruits. Blueberries, bilberries, cranberries,
and other Vaccinium berries are fleshy berry fruits recognized for the high levels of
bioactive compounds, especially anthocyanin pigments. Besides anthocyanins and
other products of the phenylpropanoid and flavonoid ...
When the brain goes diving: transcriptome analysis reveals a reduced aerobic energy metabolism and increased stress proteins in the seal brain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-09)
<b>Background: </b>During long dives, the brain of whales and seals experiences a reduced supply of oxygen (hypoxia).
The brain neurons of the hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) are more tolerant towards low-oxygen conditions than
those of mice, and also better survive other hypoxia-related stress conditions like a reduction in glucose supply and
high concentrations of lactate. Little is known ...
A new statistical method for curve group analysis of longitudinal gene expression data illustrated for breast cancer in the NOWAC postgenome cohort as a proof of principle
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-05)
<b>Background: </b>The understanding of changes in temporal processes related to human carcinogenesis is limited. One approach for prospective functional genomic studies is to compile trajectories of differential expression of genes, based on measurements from many case-control pairs. We propose a new statistical method that does not assume any parametric shape for the gene trajectories. <br><b>Methods:</b> ...
A Decoupled Approach for Flight Control
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
A decoupling method for flight control is presented that greatly simplifies the controller design. By approximating the higher order derivatives of the angle of attack and sideslip, it enables a rotation controller and a speed controller to be derived independently of each other, and thus gives access to a vast number of controller solutions derived for general classes of rotational and translational ...
Numerical study of atmospheric ice accretion on rotating geometric cross sections with fins
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-12)
This paper describes the numerical study of atmospheric ice accretion on rotating geometric cross sections,
circular,
hexagon and square
, all having fins, to select an optimum geometric cross section for use as a rotating part of a newly-
proposed designed icing sensor. Computational fluid dynamics-based numerical analyses were carried out in this research
work to understand and analyse the ...
The Ljubija geothermal field: A herald of the Pangea break-up (NW Bosnia and Herzegovina)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-29)
The Ljubija ore deposits are the loci typici of siderite-barite-polysulphide deposits within
the Inner Dinarides, Gemerides and Eastern Alps. Numerous sites of ore outcrops, smaller
or larger ore bodies of mineralization, consisting of Fe carbonates, sulphides, barite and
fluorite are scattered over an area of 150 square km. The half billion tons of iron ore resources
occur as replacement in ...
