Robust image-to-image color transfer using optimal inlier maximization

In this paper we target the color transfer estimation problem, when we have pixel-to-pixel correspondences. We present a feature-based method, that robustly fits color transforms to data containing gross outliers. Our solution is based on an optimal inlier maximization algorithm that maximizes the number of inliers in polynomial time. We introduce a simple feature detector and descriptor based on

Fast solvers for minimal radial distortion relative pose problems

In this paper we present a unified formulation for a large class of relative pose problems with radial distortion and varying calibration. For minimal cases, we show that one can eliminate the number of parameters down to one to three. The relative pose can then be expressed using varying calibration constraints on the fundamental matrix, with entries that are polynomial in the parameters. We can

Biased differential distinguisher – Cryptanalysis of reduced-round SKINNY

SKINNY is a lightweight tweakable block cipher which received a great deal of cryptanalytic attention due to its elegant structure and efficiency. Despite the cryptanalytic efforts the security margins are remaining high. This has led to SKINNY being used as a component of multiple submissions in the NIST Lightweight Competition, an effort to standardize a lightweight AEAD scheme. Inspired by the

Decarbonising Economies

Based on an interdisciplinary investigation of future visions, scenarios, and case-studies of low carbon innovation taking place across economic domains, Decarbonising Economies analyses the ways in which questions of agency, power, geography and materiality shape the conditions of possibility for a low carbon future. It explores how and why the challenge of changing our economies are variously as

What are the factors affecting parents' postnatal sense of security?

INTRODUCTION: The postpartum period is part of an important process for mothers and fathers. A sense of security is central as it might influence a parent's journey towards becoming a successful parent. The aim was to determine factors affecting parents' postnatal sense of security (PPSS) before postpartum discharge from a hospital in Konya, Turkey.METHODS: A descriptive study was conducted. From

Label-free separation of neuroblastoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) cells from hematopoietic progenitor cell products by acoustophoresis

BackgroundGraft-contaminating tumor cells correlate with inferior outcome in high-risk neuroblastoma patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and can contribute to relapse. Motivated by the potential therapeutic benefit of tumor cell removal as well as the high prognostic and diagnostic value of isolated circulating tumor cells from stem cell grafts, we established a label-free

Fiber-based stray light suppression in spectroscopy using periodic shadowing

Stray light is a known strong interference in spectroscopic measurements. Photons from high-intensity signals that are scattered inside the spectrometer, or photons that enter the detector through unintended ways, will be added to the spectrum as an interference signal. A general experimental solution to this problem is presented here by introducing a customized fiber for signal collection. The fi

Pro-Enkephalin and its association with renal function in Middle Eastern immigrants and native Swedes

Iraqi-born immigrants residing in Sweden exhibit lower blood pressure as well as better renal function despite an overall worse metabolic risk profile in comparison with native Swedes. This may indicate the presence of cardiorenal protective mechanisms in the Middle Eastern population. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate whether the association between renal function and Pro-Enkephalin

Proteome of fluid from human ovarian small antral follicles reveals insights in folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation

STUDY QUESTION: Is it possible to identify by mass spectrometry a wider range of proteins and key proteins involved in folliculogenesis and oocyte growth and development by studying follicular fluid (FF) from human small antral follicles (hSAF)?SUMMARY ANSWER: The largest number of proteins currently reported in human FF was identified in this study analysing hSAF where several proteins showed a s

Proteomic analysis enables distinction of early- versus advanced-stage lung adenocarcinomas

BACKGROUND: A gel-free proteomic approach was utilized to perform in-depth tissue protein profiling of lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) and normal lung tissues from early and advanced stages of the disease. The long-term goal of this study is to generate a large-scale, label-free proteomics dataset from histologically well-classified lung ADC that can be used to increase further our understanding of dise
