Exploratory Data Analysis for Textile Defect Detection
The capacity to recognize anomalies in real-world visual data is essential for many computer vision uses. New approaches and ideas in unsupervised defective garments identification require data for training and evaluation. Understanding the constraints of the currently employed approach of human inspection is crucial for improving clothing quality. Uses for digital image processing in the textile sector are suggested. This method proposes a novel quantitative measuring strategy by fusing digital image processing with the Lab view platform. As this study progresses, it becomes clear that the FLDA yields the best results, with 95% accuracy, while the Hoeffiding Tree yields the lowest results, with 60% accuracy. When compared to other models, the FLDA's precision of 0.96 is the best you'll find, while the Hoeffiding Tree's is the lowest at 0.62. The FLDA provides the best result, with a recall value of 0.95, while the Hoeffiding Tree shows the lowest result, with a recall value of 0.60. The FLDA yields the best results (0.90 kappa value), whereas the Hoeffiding Tree yields the worst (0.20 kappa value).The FLDA exhibits the best results, with an F-Measure value of 0.95, while the Hoeffiding Tree displays the lowest results, with an F-Measure value of 0.58. The FLDA provides the best results, with an MCC value of 0.91, while the Hoeffiding Tree displays the worst results, with an MCC value of 0.22. The FLDA yields the best results (0.98 ROC value), whereas the Decision Table produces the worst results (0.69 ROC value). The best prediction accuracy is shown by the FLDA, at 0.98 of the PRC value, while the worst is shown by the Decision Table, at 0.67. The MAE is lowest (0.07) for the FLDA and highest (0.39) for the Hoeffiding Tree. The MAE deviation of the Bayes Net is 0.19. The best result is shown by the FLDA, with an RMSE of 0.22, while the largest RMSE deviation is found in the Hoeffiding Tree, at 0.62. The RMSEdeviation for Bayes Net is 0.41. The finest RAE is shown by the FLDA, at 13.39%, while the largest RAE deviation is 78.28% for the Hoeffiding Tree. The Bayes Net explains 38.74% of the variation in RAE. The best result is shown by the FLDA, with an RRSE of 44.36%; the largest RRSE variation is shown by the Hoeffiding Tree, with 123.99%. When compared to other models, the IBK's preparation time of 0 seconds is by far the shortest. While the Bayes Net completes its task in 0.03 seconds, FLDA can take up to 0.17 seconds. The FLDA model is found to have superior performance in this study
Distinctive waves of innate immune response in the retina in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Neurodegeneration mediates neurological disability in inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS. The role of innate immune cells in mediating this damage has remained controversial with evidence for destructive and protective effects. This has complicated efforts to develop treatment. The time sequence and dynamic evolution of the opposing functions are especially unclear. Given limits of in vivo monitoring in human diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), animal models are warranted to investigate the association and timing of innate immune activation with neurodegeneration. Using noninvasive in vivo retinal imaging of experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) in CX3CR1GFP/+–knock-in mice followed by transcriptional profiling, we are able to show 2 distinct waves separated by a marked reduction in the number of innate immune cells and change in cell morphology. The first wave is characterized by an inflammatory phagocytic phenotype preceding the onset of EAE, whereas the second wave is characterized by a regulatory, antiinflammatory phenotype during the chronic stage. Additionally, the magnitude of the first wave is associated with neuronal loss. Two transcripts identified — growth arrest–specific protein 6 (GAS6) and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) — might be promising targets for enhancing protective effects of microglia in the chronic phase after initial injury
Effects of weight loss via high fat vs. low fat alternate day fasting diets on free fatty acid profiles
Cardiovascular disease risk is associated with excess body weight and elevated plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations. This study examines how an alternate-day fasting (ADF) diet high (HF) or low (LF) in fat affects plasma FFA profiles in the context of weight loss, and changes in body composition and lipid profiles. After a 2-week weight maintenance period, 29 women (BMI 30–39.9 kg/m2) 25–65 years old were randomized to an 8-week ADF-HF (45% fat) diet or an ADF-LF (25% fat) diet with 25% energy intake on fast days and ad libitum intake on feed days. Body weight, BMI and waist circumference were assessed weekly and body composition was measured using dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Total and individual FFA and plasma lipid concentrations were measured before and after weight loss. Body weight, BMI, fat mass, total cholesterol, LDL-C and triglyceride concentrations decreased (P < 0.05) in both groups. Total FFA concentrations also decreased (P < 0.001). In the ADF-LF group, decreases were found in several more FFAs than in the ADF-HF group. In the ADF-HF group, FFA concentrations were positively correlated with waist circumference. Depending on the macronutrient composition of a diet, weight loss with an ADF diet decreases FFA concentrations through potentially different mechanisms

Líquen plano oral: relato de caso com diferentes aspectos clínicos / Liquen oral plan: case report with different clinical aspects
Introdução: O Líquen Plano é uma doença mucocutânea imunomediada, de natureza crônica inflamatória e etiologia desconhecida, onde a cavidade oral é um dos locais mais comumente afetados, sendo assim denominado de Líquen Plano Oral (LPO). O LPO, geralmente, acomete mulheres com idade entre 30 e 60 anos, e pode se apresentar como uma lesão semelhante a placa, ou com aspecto reticular, erosivo, atrófico, papular ou bolhoso. Objetivo: Relatar um caso de LPO, com presença de múltiplas lesões que apresentam diferentes aspectos clínicos. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, feoderma, de 50 anos de idade, procurou o serviço de diagnóstico oral da UFRN se queixando de ardência no céu da boca. Durante a anamnese a paciente relatou ser ex-tabagista e ter problemas de ansiedade. No exame intraoral observou-se uma lesão ulcerada em palato duro, como também a presença de lesões bilaterais em mucosa jugal que apresentavam aspecto reticular, entretanto essas não exibiam sintomatologia. O diagnóstico clínico de LPO foi emitido. A biópsia excisional da lesão em palato foi realizada, onde o diagnóstico histopatológico corroborou com o clínico. A paciente se encontra sob acompanhamento clínico. Conclusão: O paciente com LPO deve ser acompanhado rotineiramente, visto que muitas vezes as lesões orais antecedem às manifestações extraorais, sendo o cirurgiões-dentistas um agente importante no diagnóstico dessa doença, o que possibilita a realização de um tratamento adequado.Liquen oral plan: case report with different clinical aspect

Measurement of the ttbar Production Cross Section in ppbar Collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV using Kinematic Characteristics of Lepton + Jets Events
We present a measurement of the top quark pair ttbar production cross section
in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV using 230 pb**{-1}
of data collected by the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We
select events with one charged lepton (electron or muon), large missing
transverse energy, and at least four jets, and extract the ttbar content of the
sample based on the kinematic characteristics of the events. For a top quark
mass of 175 GeV, we measure sigma(ttbar) = 6.7 {+1.4-1.3} (stat) {+1.6- 1.1}
(syst) +/-0.4 (lumi) pb, in good agreement with the standard model prediction.Comment: submitted to Phys.Rev.Let
