  • High Spatially Sensitive Quantitative Phase Imaging Assisted with Deep
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN High spatially sensitive quantitative phase imaging assisted with deep neural network for classifcation of human spermatozoa under stressed condition Ankit Butola1,2,8, Daria Popova2,3,8, Dilip K. Prasad4, Azeem Ahmad2, Anowarul Habib2, Jean Claude Tinguely2, Purusotam Basnet3,5, Ganesh Acharya5,6, Paramasivam Senthilkumaran7, Dalip Singh Mehta1,7 & Balpreet Singh Ahluwalia2,6* Sperm cell motility and morphology observed under the bright feld microscopy are the only criteria for selecting a particular sperm cell during Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Several factors such as oxidative stress, cryopreservation, heat, smoking and alcohol consumption, are negatively associated with the quality of sperm cell and fertilization potential due to the changing of subcellular structures and functions which are overlooked. However, bright feld imaging contrast is insufcient to distinguish tiniest morphological cell features that might infuence the fertilizing ability of sperm cell. We developed a partially spatially coherent digital holographic microscope (PSC-DHM) for quantitative phase imaging (QPI) in order to distinguish normal sperm cells from sperm cells under diferent stress conditions such as cryopreservation, exposure to hydrogen peroxide and ethanol. Phase maps of total 10,163 sperm cells (2,400 control cells, 2,750 spermatozoa after cryopreservation, 2,515 and 2,498 cells under hydrogen peroxide and ethanol respectively) are reconstructed using the data acquired from the PSC-DHM system. Total of seven feedforward deep neural networks (DNN) are employed for the classifcation of the phase maps for normal and stress afected sperm cells. When validated against the test dataset, the DNN provided an average sensitivity, specifcity and accuracy of 85.5%, 94.7% and 85.6%, respectively.

  • Immortality of the Soul (Plat Ōn) and Bodily Resurrection (Paul) — Any Rapprochement?
    IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL (PLAT ŌN) AND BODILY RESURRECTION (PAUL) — ANY RAPPROCHEMENT? ChrYs C. Caragounis [email protected] ABSTRACT It is a usual assumption among NeW Testament scholars that in his discussion of the resurrec - tion of the dead, Paul holds to the JeWish VieW of the resurrection of the bodY, not to the Hellenic (Platonic) VieW of the immortalitY of the soul. As this question impinges on the question of anthropologY, it is further stated that according to the Hellenic VieW man has a bodY — Which, moreoVer is conceiVed as a tomb of the soul (Orphics) — Whereas accor - ding to the JeWish VieW man is a bodY. A careful inVestigation of the Hellenic and OT-JeWish eVidence shoWs that it is a metho - dological miss to confuse VieWs in Hom ēros and the Orphics With later VieWs in Sokrates and Plat ōn. MoreoVer there neVer Was a “JeWish VieW” of the resurrection. There Were fiVe/siX VieWs. The resurrection of the bodY Was a minoritY VieW. The Pauline teXts shoW that Paul speaks of the resurrection of the dead but neVer of the resurrection of the bodY as Well as that man has a bodY. It is thus intriguing to compare Paul’s VieW of resurrection With Plat ōn’s VieW of the immortalitY of the soul and see hoW far apart theY are from one another. KEY WORDS : First Corinthians, Resurrection (of the bodY), ImmortalitY of the soul. 3 2 1 5 - 1. INTRODUCTION 3 2 . P P , Ernest Best prefaces his discussion of 1 Th 5:23 in his commentarY With 6 1 0 the remark that “To the Greek for Whom the bodY Was the tomb or prison of the 2 ; 1 7 immortal soul its ultimate fate Was unimportant” .

  • The Science of “Fringe”
    THE SCIENCE OF “FRINGE” EXPLORING: INFLUENZA A SCIENCE OLYMPIAD THEMED LESSON PLAN EPISODE 313: IMMORTALITY Overview: Students will learn about the influenza virus and how it spreads and impacts its host. Grade Level: 9-12 Episode Summary: The alternate universe Fringe team investigates a bioterrorist armed with an insect that has a taste for human flesh. With the help of the CDC, they quickly discover that the insect was thought to be extinct and that a key researcher who previously devoted his life to the bug hasn’t been seen in years. The researcher’s goal was to create a universal vaccine for the flu virus based upon an enzyme extracted from the insect. Related Science Olympiad Event: Microbe Mission - Teams will answer questions, solve problems and analyze data pertaining to microbes. Learning Objectives: Students will understand the following: • Influenza is caused by a family of viruses that spread from host to host via airborne aerosols. • Influenza spreads seasonally around that world and causes hundreds of thousands of deaths each year • New strains of influenza often appear when an existing virus picks up new genes from viruses in other animal species such as birds or pigs. Episode Scenes of Relevance: • Bolivia and Frank discussing the possible flu vaccine (24:17 ‘called Atlanta’ – 25:05 ‘human hosts’) • Bolivia and Dr. Silva discussing his quest for a vaccine (30:50 ‘they’ll thank me’ – 31:50 ‘nearly complete’) © FOX/Science Olympiad, Inc./FringeTM/Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc.

    The Future of Immortality Princeton Studies in Culture and Technology Tom Boellstorff and Bill Maurer, Series Editors This series presents innovative work that extends classic ethnographic methods and questions into areas of pressing interest in technology and economics. It explores the varied ways new technologies combine with older technologies and cultural understandings to shape novel forms of subjectivity, embodiment, knowledge, place, and community. By doing so, the series demonstrates the relevance of anthropological inquiry to emerging forms of digital culture in the broadest sense.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).
