An Analytical Approach Differentiates Between Individual and Collective Cancer Invasion by Elad Katz, Wim Verleyen, Colin G. Blackmore, Michael Edward, V. Anne Smith, David J. Harrison

“…The Bayesian network separated individual and collective invading cell groups based on the morphological measurements, with the level of cell-cell contact the most discriminating morphological feature. Smaller invading groups were typified by smoother cellular surfaces than those invading collectively in larger groups. …”

Des (dés)accords grammaticaux dans la dénomination écrite de la personne en France : un tumulte graphique entre passions tristes et passions joyeuses by Manuel Perez, Katy Barasc, Hélène Giraudo

“…They are supposed to be non-discriminating but they obey the same contract: they reply to the first injunction keeping to the agreement between the sex of the referent and grammatical gender, but they correct the paradox un-signifying masculine marks and re-signifying feminine marks in order to masculine and feminine have same value of humankind.Even if it does not avoid the aporia of a submission to the referentialist logic, the present “graphical turmoil” shows a clear willingness – to make writing less discriminating – provoking restlessly general outcries and invectives. …”

Generative Adversarial Networks for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Object Detection with Fusion Technology by Nageswara Guptha M, Y. K. Guruprasad, Yuvaraja Teekaraman, Ramya Kuppusamy, Amruth Ramesh Thelkar

“…Its generator, in particular, learns to turn unsatisfactory tiny object representations into super-resolved items that are similar to large objects to deceive a rival discriminator. At the same time, its discriminator contests with the generator to classify the engendered representation, imposing a perceptual restriction on the generator: created representations of tiny objects must be helpful for detection. …”

Image inpainting forensics method based on dual branch network by Dengyong ZHANG, Huang WEN, Feng LI, Peng CAO, Lingyun XIANG, Gaobo YANG, Xiangling DING

“…Image inpainting is a technique that uses information from known areas of an image to repair missing or damaged areas of the image.Image editing software based on it has made it easy to edit and modify the content of digital images without any specialized foundation.When image inpainting techniques are used to maliciously remove the content of an image, it will cause confidence crisis on the real image.Current researches in image inpainting forensics can only effectively detect a certain type of image inpainting.To address this problem, a passive forensic method for image inpainting was proposed, which is based on a two-branch network.The high-pass filtered convolutional network in the dual branch first used a set of high-pass filters to attenuate the low-frequency components in the image.Then features were extracted using four residual blocks, and two transposed convolutions were performed with 4x up-sampling to zoom in on the feature map.And thereafter a 5×5 convolution was used to attenuate the tessellation artifacts from the transposed convolutions to generate a discriminative feature map on the high-frequency components of the image.The dual-attention feature fusion branch in the dual branch first added a local binary pattern feature map to the image using a preprocessing block.Then the dual-attention convolution block was used to adaptively integrate the image’s local features and global dependencies to capture the differences in content and texture between the inpainted and pristine regions of the image.Additionally, the features extracted from the dual-attention convolution block were fused, and the feature maps were up-sampled identically to generate the discriminative image content and texture on the feature maps.The extensive experimental results show the proposed method improved the F1 score by 2.05% and the Intersection over Union(IoU) by 3.53% for the exemplar-based method and by 1.06% and 1.22% for the deep-learning-based method in detecting the inpainted region of the removed object.Visualization of the results shows that the edges of the removed objects can be accurately located on the detected inpainted area.…”

Correlation between the Severity of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease and Serum Uric Acid to Serum Creatinine Ratio by Jing Liu, Hongye Peng, Che Wang, Yutong Wang, Rongrui Wang, Jixiang Liu, Tianhui Zhou, Shukun Yao

“…A higher sUA/Cr level was associated with lower liver CT values (β = −0.133, P=0.039) and liver/spleen CT ratio (β = −0.154, P=0.016). sUA/Cr had the ability to discriminate the severity of MAFLD (AUC: 0.623). Conclusion. sUA/Cr was positively associated with the risk of moderate-severe MAFLD and had the predictive ability to discriminate the moderate-severe MAFLD from mild MAFLD and non-MAFLD. …”
