Handwriting identification is a hot topic in the field of pattern recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel method for off-line Chinese handwriting identification based on stroke shape and structure. To extract the features embedded in Chinese handwriting character, two special structures have been explored, which are bounding rectangle and TBLR quadrilateral. 16 features are extracted from the...
Kernel-based clustering is one of the most popular methods for partitioning nonlinearly separable dataset. However, exhaustive search for the global optimum is NP-hard. Iterative procedure such as k-means can be used to seek one of the local minima. Unfortunately, it is easily trapped into degenerate local minima when the prototypes of clusters are ill-initialized. In this paper, we restate the optimization...
Asiaticoside (AS), a triterpenoid product isolated from Centella asiatica, has been described to exhibit anti-inflammatory activities in several inflammatory models. However, the effects of AS on liver injury are poorly understood. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether AS is efficacious against Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) /D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced acute liver injury in mice and...
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) remains an extremely poor prognosis and high mortality; better treatments are urgently needed. Tetrandrine (TET), a traditional anti-inflammatory drug, has been reported to exhibit hepatoprotective activities in several liver injury models. We now investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of TET on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and d-galactosamine (d-GalN)-induced...
