In this paper, we present DATC Robust Design Flow Database covering the stages from logic synthesis to physical design [1]. Based on this database, design flow and cross-stage optimization research can be conducted via various EDA tools developed from academia.
The electric strength methods of insulating material are provided by the national standards but different methods may have different results. To solve the problems, the application conditions and the principles are researched by the standards, these electric strength methods for insulating material are compared and optimized through the simulation and the simulation results are verified through experiments...
Compositional models represent visual patterns as hierarchies of meaningful and reusable parts. They are attractive to vision modeling due to their ability to decompose complex patterns into simpler ones and resolve the lowlevel ambiguities in high-level image interpretations. However, current compositional models separate structure and part discovery from parameter estimation, which generally leads...
Many existing person re-identification (PRID) methods typically attempt to train a faithful global metric offline to cover the enormous visual appearance variations, so as to directly use it online on various probes for identity match- ing. However, their need for a huge set of positive training pairs is very demanding in practice. In contrast to these methods, this paper advocates a different paradigm:...
Keloids are benign dermal disease that are characterized by the collagen deposition and growth beyond the boundaries of the original wound position. Many studies on keloids have showed that the density of blood vessel within keloids is higher than normal skin, which is a determinant of the physiological conditions of the tissue and also important for understanding the pathogenesis and radiotherapy...
Biomechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are important regulators in cell development, including proliferation, apoptosis and migration. Recent studies have shown that stiffening of the ECM resulting from deposition and crosslinking of collagen may promote invasion and migration of tumor cells. In our previous study, a laser speckle contrast shear wave (SW) imaging system was developed,...
Mechanobiology is an emerging field of research that studies the influences on the cell behaviors by mechanical stimuli. In this research, the previously developed laser speckle contrast shear wave imaging system is implemented for monitoring the temporal and spatial changes in the stiffness of the self-designed in vitro cancer metastasis model. Results from the immunostaining with laminin and collagen...
Keloid is a kind of benign dermal lesion that caused by the collagen deposition and growth beyond the boundaries of the original wound margin. Many studies have reported that the density of blood vessel within keloid is higher than normal skin. Therefore, the density of blood vessel is the potential determinant for understanding the pathogenesis of keloids. However, to date, the techniques for extracting...
Ultrasound shear wave imaging has been successfully developed with wide clinical applications. Typically, the shear wave image format is the same as the corresponding B-mode so that the shear modulus distribution can be overlaid with the anatomy. However, in certain applications the B-mode cross-sectional view may not be ideal. In this study, we propose a system for shear modulus computed tomography...
Zebrafish is an ideal vertebrate for studying developmental biology and genetics due to its rapid generation rate and genetic accessibility. However, once the zebrafish has fully matured, especially wild-type lines, it develops stripes that run along the body and thus lose transparency. Owing to that, conventional optical imaging techniques will have difficulty in imaging the internal anatomy and...
Recently, ultrafast ultrasound imaging has been proposed for many clinical applications. However, most operational frequencies of ultrafast ultrasound imaging are around 3.5 to 15 MHz. Currently, ultrafast 40 MHz high frequency ultrasound imaging has been developed in our Lab. High frequency ultrasound is a good choice for blood flow mapping because the backscattering signals from blood is increased...
The zebrafish is an ideal vertebrate for studying developmental biology and genetics due to its external development and optical transparency in embryonic stages. Recently, with the rapid generation rate and genetic accessibility, adult zebrafish have been used to model tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and regeneration in vivo. However, once the zebrafish has fully matured, especially wild-type lines,...
We demonstrated a photothermal delivery approach with self-aligned cell seeding, which was realized by simple fabrication of microwells and sharp tips. Calcein molecules (622 Da) were successfully delivered into cells with above 80% viability.
In this paper, two new two-dimensional (2-D) IIR and FIR filter architectures possessing quadrantal and octagonal symmetries are proposed. Furthermore, the theoretical error analysis for the proposed filters is also presented. Utilizing the presented error analysis, user can decide the bit width of the filters with satisfactory error tolerance.
This paper presents a microfluidic chip with asymmetric ion selective membrane (ISM) for high performance detecting nitrate ions in vegetables. Various geometries of microstructures assisted with neighboring air sheath flows are used to trap trace amount of polymer liquid for the formation of ion selective membrane. The asymmetric geometry, thinner film (< 20 μm) and higher surface-area of the...
This paper proposes a front object recognition system for the safety of driving, which is based on sensor fusion with laser range finder and stereo vision. The study utilizes a stereo vision system for objects detection. Since the calculation time of the stereo vision algorithm is too long, in order to detect objects immediately, a laser range finder is integrated to improve the calculation time and...
The purpose of the study was to investigate the interface design of a web-based formative assessment system. The present study was focused on question presentation and feedback design. A total of 28 college students participated in the study. Usability questionnaires were used to collect qualitative and qualitative data. The results are provided for online educators, learning management system developers,...
Urban Planning Stake for urban planning and design, were been the basis of land development, roads and public facilities construction reference. In tradition, according to measured and buried stone marker in the land to define the Urban Planning Stake location of the Urban Planning. However, the cost of buried Urban Planning Stake is too high as well as maintain in the future also has certain difficulty.
This study proposes a theoretical basis of blood flow volume sensor for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of hemodialysis patients in a noninvasive way by means of reflectance-type photoplethysmography (PPG). After Bayesian neural network calibration, the PPG sensors based on the proposed mathematical equation shows high correlation to ultrasound Doppler blood flow meter (R2 = 0.7625) and the root mean...
Pedestrian detection is an important topic in many applications, such as intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) or surveillance. For the purpose of applications used around the clock, the work for detecting pedestrian based on thermal sensors has attracted significant attention. To achieve this, this paper proposes a LBP (local binary pattern) encoded multi-level classifier for detecting pedestrians...
