White blood cell segmentation by color-space-based k-means clustering.
White blood cell (WBC) segmentation, which is important for cytometry, is a challenging issue because of the morphological diversity of WBCs and the complex and uncertain background of blood smear images. This paper proposes a novel method for the nucleus and cytoplasm segmentation of WBCs for cytometry. A color adjust...

Optimization of an optical inspection system based on the Taguchi method for quantitative analysis of point-of-care testing.
This study presents an optical inspection system for detecting a commercial point-of-care testing product and a new detection model covering from qualitative to quantitative analysis. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) strips (cut-off value of the hCG commercial product is 25 mIU/mL) were the detection target in our st...

Incorporating a wheeled vehicle model in a new monocular visual odometry algorithm for dynamic outdoor environments.
This paper presents a monocular visual odometry algorithm that incorporates a wheeled vehicle model for ground vehicles. The main innovation of this algorithm is to use the single-track bicycle model to interpret the relationship between the yaw rate and side slip angle, which are the two most important parameters that...

Recipient inflammatory state at time of transfusion has been shown to regulate alloimmunization in murine models, but evidence is lacking in SCD patients. We retrospectively studied a cohort of alloimmunized SCD patients ...

Diet composition transiently modulates proliferative and potency features of human cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) emerged in the last few years as a promise in regenerative medicine and have been actively tested in several clinical trials worldwide. However, the lack of common standards and a precise definition of MSC preparations remain a major obstacle in research and application. In this study, we c...

The longer term experiences of parent training: a qualitative analysis.
Child conduct problems are a major public health priority. Group-based parenting programmes are popular in addressing such problems, but evidence for their longer-term effectiveness is limited. Moreover, process evaluations are rare and little is understood about the key facilitative and inhibitive factors associated w...

Effects of obesity on body temperature in otherwise-healthy females when controlling hydration and heat production during exercise in the heat.

The extent of cultural variation between adjacent chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) communities; a microecological approach.
Chimpanzees show cultural differences among populations across Africa but also between neighboring communities. The extent of these differences among neighbors, however, remains largely unknown. Comparing three neighboring chimpanzee community in the Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, we found 27 putative cultural trait...

The putative oligosaccharide translocase SypK connects biofilm formation with quorum signaling in Vibrio fischeri.
Quorum signaling (QS) describes how bacteria can use small signaling molecules (autoinducers) to coordinate group-level behaviors. In Vibrio fischeri, QS is achieved through a complex regulatory network that ultimately controls bioluminescence, motility, and host colonization. We conducted a genetic screen focused on q...
