Abstract:

GuessWhat?! is a visual dialogue task between a guesser and an oracle. The guesser aims to locate an object supposed by the oracle oneself in an image by asking a sequence of Yes/No questions. Asking proper questions with the progress of dialogue is vital for achieving successful final guess. As a result, the progress of dialogue should be properly represented and tracked. Previous models for question generation pay less attention on the representation and tracking of dialogue states, and therefore are prone to asking low quality questions such as repeated questions.

AbstractWe have monitored tributyltin (TBT) pollution in Galicia (NW Spain) for more than a decade by means of assessing gastropod imposex in populations of Nucella lapillus (N ≥ 34) and Tritia reticulata (N ≥ 18) at regular intervals. Several thousand specimens were processed to obtain their shell height (SH), penis length (PL) and vas deferens sequence (VDS); imposex indices (including the VDS index, VDSI) were subsequently calculated. The regional mean SH of both females and males has not changed significantly in either species throughout the study. This also applies to the mean male PL in

Abstract:

The occupational use of video display terminals (VDTs) has been associated with the increasing incidence of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders, often called cumulative trauma disorders. To guide clinical and policy decisions about the prevention and treatment of these VDT related disorders, valid and economic measures of total daily VDT use and VDT related job tasks such as data entry or editing will be important. In this study of newspaper reporters and copy editors (n=83), VDT use was measured with employee self reports and by sampling the work behaviors of a subsample of employees. B

Abstract:

A survey was administered to two large groups of employees, one a group of health care employees and the other a group of employees from a large insurance firm. The survey was used to determine whether video display terminal (VDT) operators experience greater psychosomatic distress, job tension, job dissatisfaction, and strain than nonoperators or employees who operate VDTs infrequently. After controlling for demographic factors, tenure, and role strain variables, findings suggest that hours of VDT use has an impact on employee well-being, though role strain was more consistently related to ou

Abstract:

Video display terminals (VDT) are widely used in all spheres of human activity. It is estimated that 30 million RCCBs are in use in North America alone. Like any new technology, production with the use of VDT is the subject of serious attention of specialists in the field of labor protection. Currently, there is no doubt that VDTs cause severe discomfort in those working with them, accompanied by numerous complaints (asthenopic phenomena, musculoskeletal and headaches, increased anxiety and irritability). In addition, information is accumulating about the development of more serious disorders

Abstract:

The C-Sharp was designed to help reduce some of the ergonomic problems associated with long-term use of visual display terminal (VDT) workstations. The C-Sharp projects the viewed image at a farther distance than typical VDTs to reduce the amount of muscular work involved in accommodation and convergence to near targets. This may help to reduce or eliminate visual strain and temporary myopia. It was also designed to eliminate glare. The present study was conducted to evaluate the C-Sharp from a human factors standpoint and to assess its ability to reduce problems related to VDT use. Results in

Abstract:

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is one of the most economically important diseases of woody hosts such as ash (Fraxinus spp.), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), and redbud (Cercis canadensis). The causal agent has a broad host range, including not only woody hosts but also important vegetable and field crops, and it is distributed worldwide. Diagnosis of V. dahliae in infected woody hosts is often based on the occurrence of vascular discoloration and time-consuming isolation. However, not all woody hosts exhibit vascular discoloration, and not all vascular discoloration symptoms

This phenomenon, first reported by Blaber (1970) in dogwhelks from the Plymouth area, and later termed 'imposex' (Smith, 1981), is now recognised as the most sensitive and straightforward way to identify contamination of coastal areas by TBT. The degree of imposex may be readily quantified as the relative penis size index (RPSI), which expresses the

Abstract:

Decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) is a promising biomaterial for adipose tissue engineering. However, there is a lack of research of DAT prepared from xenogeneic porcine adipose tissue. This study aimed to compare the adipogenic ability of DAT derived from porcine subcutaneous (SDAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VDAT). The retention of key collagen in decellularized matrix was analysed to study the biochemical properties of SDAT and VDAT. For the biomechanical study, both DAT materials were fabricated into three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds for rheology and compressive tests. Human adip

Abstract:

We developed a novel dual-energy (DE) virtual monochromatic (VM) very-deep super-resolution (VDSR) method with an unsharp masking reconstruction algorithm (DE–VM–VDSR) that uses projection data to improve the nodule contrast and reduce ripple artifacts during chest digital tomosynthesis (DT). For estimating the residual errors from high-resolution and multiscale VM images from the projection space, the DE–VM–VDSR algorithm employs a training network (mini-batch stochastic gradient-descent algorithm with momentum) and a hybrid super-resolution (SR) image [simultaneous algebraic reconstruction t

ABSTRACT Previously isolated dissimilatory perchlorate-reducing bacteria (DPRB) have been primarily affiliated with the Betaproteobacteria. Enrichments from the cathodic chamber of a bioelectrical reactor (BER) inoculated from creek water in Berkeley, CA, yielded a novel organism most closely related to a previously described strain, WD (99% 16S rRNA gene identity). Strain VDYT has 96% 16S rRNA gene identity to both Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense and Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum, and along with strain WD, distinguishes a clade of perchlorate-reducing Magnetospirillum species in the Alpha

Leaders within Virginia’s Department of Transportation (VDOT) realized that the department would not be able to meet future challenges if it relied only on tactical responsiveness. VDOT embarked on a strategic management effort focused on shifting the organization’s culture to strategic thinking and customer responsiveness. The change effort began by drafting a new organizational vision, using purpose, mission, and values statements as guidelines for thinking strategically and meeting organizational goals.

ABSTRACT Introduction Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) decreases risk of progression to active tuberculosis. Traditional treatment regimens required either daily isoniazid for 9 months, with historically poor compliance, or 12-week directly observed therapy (DOT) with isoniazid and rifapentine, with improved compliance but additional challenges of coordinating weekly clinic visits, further complicated if patients must travel a great distance for care.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Virtual Deep Seismic Sounding (VDSS) has emerged as a novel method to image the crust–mantle boundary (CMB) and potentially other lithospheric boundaries. In Part 1, we showed that the arrival time and waveform of post-critical SsPmp, the post-critical reflection phase at the CMB used in VDSS, is sensitive to several different attributes of the crust and upper mantle. Here, we synthesize our methodology of deriving Moho depth, average crustal Vp and uppermost-mantle Vp from single-station observations of post-critical SsPmp under a 1-D assumption. We first verify our method with synthe
