In this report, the contributions in individual sessions are summarized.Most modern color digital cameras are equipped with a single image sensor with a color filter array (CFA). One of the most important stages of preprocessing is noise reduction. Most research related to this topic ignores the problem associated with the actual color image acquisition process and assumes that we are processing the image in the sRGB space. In the presented paper, the real process of developing raw images obtained from the CFA sensor was analyzed. As part of the work, a diverse database of test images in the form of a digital negative and its reference version was prepared. The main problem posed in the work was the location of the denoising and demosaicing algorithms in the entire raw image processing pipeline. For this purpose, all stages of processing the digital negative are reproduced. The process of noise generation in the image sensors was also simulated, parameterizing it with ISO sensitivity for a specific CMOS sensor. In this work, we tested commonly used algorithms based on the idea of non-local means, such as NLM or BM3D, in combination with various techniques of interpolation of CFA sensor data. Our experiments have shown that the use of noise reduction methods directly on the raw sensor data, improves the final result only in the case of highly disturbed images, which corresponds to the process of image acquisition in difficult lighting conditions.Vaccines are the optimal public health strategy to prevent disease, but the growing anti-vaccine movement has focused renewed attention on the need to persuade people to increase vaccine uptake. This commentary draws on social and behavioral science theory and proposes a vaccine uptake continuum comprised of five factors (1) awareness of the health threat; (2) availability of the vaccine; (3) accessibility of the vaccine; (4) affordability of the vaccine; and (5) acceptability of the vaccine to effectively approach this rising challenge.Lipid-derived plant hormone jasmonates are implicated in plant growth, reproductive performance, senescence, secondary metabolite productions, and defense against both necrotrophic pathogens and feeding insects. A major jasmonate is (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-l-isoleucine (JA-Ile), which is perceived by the unique COI1-JAZ coreceptor system. Recent advances in plant chemical biology have greatly informed the bioscience of jasmonate, including the development of chemical tools such as the antagonist COR-MO; the agonist NOPh; and newly developed jasmonates, including JA-Ile-macrolactone and 12-OH-JA-Ile. This review article summarizes the current status of plant chemical biology as it pertains to jasmonates, and offers some perspectives for the future.With medium wave infrared (MWIR) focal plane array-based (FPA) compressive imaging (CI), high-resolution images can be obtained with a low-resolution MWIR sensor. However, restricted by the size of digital micro-mirror devices (DMD), aperture interference is inevitable. According to the system model of FPA CI, aperture interference aggravates the blocky structural artifacts (BSA) in the reconstructed images, which reduces the image quality. In this paper, we propose a novel DMD mask design strategy, which can effectively suppress BSA and maximize the reconstruction efficiency. Compared with random binary codes, the storage space and computation cost can be significantly reduced. Based on the actual MWIR FPA CI system, we demonstrate the proposed DMD masks can effectively suppress the BSA in the reconstructed images. In addition, a new evaluation index, blocky root mean square error, is proposed to indicate the BSA in FPA CI.A non-invasive real-time detection technique for phthalates in Chinese liquor is proposed in this paper. This method is based on the measurement of Faradaic impedance in the presence of a redox probe, [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-, upon the absorption of phthalates to the graphene electrode surface. This absorption activity is according to the π-π stacking interactions between phthalates and the graphene working electrode which allows direct sampling and analyte preconcentration. The absorption of phthalates retards the interfacial electron-transfer kinetics and increases the charge-transfer resistance (Rct). Numerical values of Rct were extracted from a simulation of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra with the corresponding equivalent circuit. Cathodic polarization was employed prior to EIS measurements to effectively eliminate the metal ion interference. The results yielded a detection limit of 0.024 ng/L for diethyl phthalate (DEP) with a linear range from 2.22 ng to 1.11 µg. These results indicate a possibility of developing a household sensor for phthalate determination in Chinese liquor.To date, polyaniline (PANI) has been synthesized in pure water. Aside from this, the application of PANI as a conducting polymer could be extended if it can be effectively synthesized in seawater, which constitutes 70% of the surface of the Earth. The production of functional plastics using natural resources without any additional purification would improve industrial production and enhance the comfort associated with our daily life. However, no examples of the effective application of seawater to PANI synthesis have been reported. Herein, PANI with an electrical conductivity of ~10-2 S/cm was synthesized in seawater as the reaction solvent. BGB-8035 ic50 The electron spin resonance measurements confirmed the role of the polarons of PANI as charge carriers. In addition, a PANI/silk composite was prepared in seawater to produce a conducting cloth for further applications. The performance of the PANI prepared in seawater as the solvent was comparable to that of the PANI prepared in pure water. Thus, the proposed method allowed for the production of the conducting polymer via a convenient and low-cost method. This is the first study to report the usage of seawater as an abundant natural resource for synthesizing conducting polymers, promoting their wide application.Thermophoretic behavior of a free protein changes upon ligand binding and gives access to information on the binding constants. The Soret effect has also been proven to be a promising tool to gain information on the hydration layer, as the temperature dependence of the thermodiffusion behavior is sensitive to solute-solvent interactions. In this work, we perform systematic thermophoretic measurements of the protein streptavidin (STV) and of the complex STV with biotin (B) using thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering (TDFRS). Our experiments show that the temperature sensitivity of the Soret coefficient is reduced for the complex compared to the free protein. We discuss our data in comparison with recent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements. As the QENS measurement has been performed in heavy water, we perform additional measurements in water/heavy water mixtures. Finally, we also elucidate the challenges arising from the quantiative thermophoretic study of complex multicomponent systems such as protein solutions.
