Multiple-level feature-based measure for retargeted image quality by Zhang, Yabin, Lin, Weisi, Li, Qiaohong, Cheng, Wentao, Zhang, Xinfeng

“…Furthermore, a high-level face block similarity feature is designed to deal with sensitive region deformation. The multiple-level features are complementary as they quantify different aspects of quality degradation in the retargeted image, and the MLF measure learned by regression is used to predict the perceptual quality of retargeted images. …”

China's changing trade pattern by Ren, Li

“…While others have viewed that it reflected changes in China’s economic structure and associated shifts in its role within regional and global production chains. This study tries to find some in-depth structure of China’s export and import by estimating export and import with equations in order to have some insight of the trade surplus. …”

A conserved arginine in NS5 binds genomic 3' stem-loop RNA for primer-independent initiation of flavivirus RNA replication by Wang, Sai, Chan, Kitti Wing Ki, Tan, Min Jie Alvin, Flory, Charlotte, Luo, Dahai, Lescar, Julian, Forwood, Jade K., Vasudevan, Subhash G.

“…The commitment to replicate the RNA genome of flaviviruses without a primer involves RNA-protein interactions that have been shown to include the recognition of the stem-loop A (SLA) in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) by the nonstructural protein NS5. We show that DENV2 NS5 arginine 888, located within the carboxy-terminal 18 residues, is completely conserved in all flaviviruses and interacts specifically with the top-loop of 3'SL in the 3'UTR which contains the pentanucleotide 5'-CACAG-3' previously shown to be critical for flavivirus RNA replication. …”

Taking ideas and words seriously: explaining the institutionalization of the Lancang-Mekong cooperation by Gong, Xue, Li, Mingjiang

“…Relying on a collection and coding of over 700 Chinese official texts on the LMC and extensive interviews, we analyze how the Chinese authorities have used ideas and discourses to garner support from states in the Mekong region for the establishment of the institution. This article demonstrates that China’s ideational and discursive power helps generate three outcomes: preference denying, preference cultivating, and preference empowering. …”

Hybrid K -means clustering and support vector machine method for via and metal line detections in delayered IC images by Cheng, Deruo, Shi, Yiqiong, Lin, Tong, Gwee, Bah-Hwee, Toh, Kar-Ann

“…The main contributions of the proposed method include: 1) fully automated detection of via and metal line positions without any need of human interventions and 2) novel hybrid methodology to embody K-means clustering and support vector machine for retrieving precise positions of vias and metal lines in contrast to the individual techniques, which can only provide a region for the detected elements. From experiments on 50 SEM images of 1536 × 2048 pixels taken from fabricated IC chips (@TSMC 130-nm CMOS process), our proposed HKCSVM method achieves an F-score of 99.82% for via detection, and mean intersection over union of 94.44% and mean pixel accuracy of 95.83% for metal line detection, which are both superior to the reported approaches.…”
