人脸表情识别综述

作为生物特征识别与情感计算领域的一个极富挑战性的交叉课题,人脸表情自动识别技术在各种应用的推动下发展很快,但鲁棒的自动人脸表情识别系统至今尚未建立.人脸表情识别的3个关键环节是人脸检测(定位)、脸部表情特征提取和人脸表情的情感分类.目前上述环节上均取得了重要进展.本文就这三方面分别进行了分类总结。

Lysosomal chymotrypsin B potentiates apoptosis via cleavage of Bid

We have reported that chymotrypsin B (CtrB) is not just a digestive enzyme but is also stored in lysosomes. Herein, we demonstrated a broad distribution of CtrB and explored the involvement of CtrB in apoptosis. Exposure of RH-35 cells to H₂O₂ or palmitate induced the redistribution of lysosomal CtrB into the cytoplasm as a result of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP). Suppression of CtrB significantly blocked apoptosis, while overexpression of CtrB sensitized apoptosis markedly. CtrB could cleave Bid under neutral conditions. In RH-35 cells with Bid silenced, apoptosis induced by CtrB protein was attenuated, suggesting that CtrB mediates apoptosis of RH-35 cells mainly through processing Bid. Our data also suggest that LMP occurs earlier than mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization; Bid activation initiated by caspase-8 might be reinforced by CtrB in consequence of LMP, which causes a positive feedback loop leading to the accumulation of tBid, and results in lysosome- and mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis.     

Granzyme B is recovered by natural killer cells via clathrin-dependent endocytosis

When they recognize a target cell, natural killer (NK) cells mount an attack to kill the target by exerting their cytotoxicity via the exocytosis of cytotoxic granules. Although the details of this process (which includes the movement of cytotoxic granules in the immune synapse and their fusion with the plasma membrane, releasing granzymes and perforin into the synaptic cleft) are relatively better understood, the post-exocytosis regulation of the process is still largely unknown. Here we show that a clathrin-dependent endocytosis stimulated by target cell occurs in NK92 cell line, which is closely correlated with granzyme B recovery. Inhibition of the endocytosis significantly attenuates the cytotoxicity of NK92 cells. The NK cell recovery of its released effector molecules, in turn, suggests that endocytosis may well play a key role in the post exocytosis regulation of immune cells.     

过江隧道穿越既有铁路相互影响研究

过江隧道穿越既有铁路的相互影响是一个难点.依托重庆长江隧道穿越襄渝铁路工程进行研究,研究结果表明：过江隧道施工对既有铁路两个方向地表沉降的影响都很小,最大值为2.549 mm,故受影响的既有铁路附近地层不需做特殊加固处理,但要加强监控;既有铁路对过江隧道结构安全性及洞周位移影响也较小,在列车荷载作用下结构最小安全系数为6.8,过江隧道结构仍是偏于安全的,故隧道结构可不作加固处理,只需加强监控.研究成果为保证既有铁路的正常运营及过江隧道的结构安全性提供了理论基础,并可为相似工程提供参考.     

Yersinia pestis genome sequencing identifies patterns of global phylogenetic diversity

Plague is a pandemic human invasive disease caused by the bacterial agent Yersinia pestis. We here report a comparison of 17 whole genomes of Y. pestis isolates from global sources. We also screened a global collection of 286 Y. pestis isolates for 933 SNPs using Sequenom MassArray SNP typing. We conducted phylogenetic analyses on this sequence variation dataset, assigned isolates to populations based on maximum parsimony and, from these results, made inferences regarding historical transmission routes. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that Y. pestis evolved in or near China and spread through multiple radiations to Europe, South America, Africa and Southeast Asia, leading to country-specific lineages that can be traced by lineage-specific SNPs. All 626 current isolates from the United States reflect one radiation, and 82 isolates from Madagascar represent a second radiation. Subsequent local microevolution of Y. pestis is marked by sequential, geographically specific SNPs.

为合理选择和正确设计柴油自卸车喷油系统的断油电磁阀,根据电磁阀的结构特点,建立了在自卸车出现转速失控时喷油系统断油时间最短的目标函数。利用人工鱼群算法对断油电磁阀的阀芯质量、弹簧刚度、线圈匝数、工作气隙、阀芯举升高度进行优化,得出断油电磁阀的最佳动态响应参数,并利用HYDSIM分析了优化前后喷油系统的响应特性。结果表明：断油电磁阀参数优化后的喷油系统比优化前的系统的响应时间减小了5．59ms,能更有效地控制柴油机自卸车转速失控,明显提高柴油自卸车的运行安全和使用寿命．
