  • Mobiledeeppill: a Small-Footprint Mobile Deep Learning System for Recognizing Unconstrained Pill Images
    MobileDeepPill: A Small-Footprint Mobile Deep Learning System for Recognizing Unconstrained Pill Images Xiao Zeng, Kai Cao, Mi Zhang Michigan State University ABSTRACT Correct identification of prescription pills based on their visual ap- pearance is a key step required to assure patient safety and facil- itate more effective patient care. With the availability of high- quality cameras and computational power on smartphones, it is possible and helpful to identify unknown prescription pills using smartphones. Towards this goal, in 2016, the U.S. National Li- brary of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a nationwide competition, calling for the creation of a mobile vision system that can recognize pills automatically from a mobile phone picture under unconstrained real-world settings. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of such mo- bile pill image recognition system called MobileDeepPill. The de- velopment of MobileDeepPill involves three key innovations: a triplet loss function which attains invariances to real-world nois- iness that deteriorates the quality of pill images taken by mobile phones; a multi-CNNs model that collectively captures the shape, Figure 1: Illustration of the unconstrained pill image recognition problem. color and imprints characteristics of the pills; and a Knowledge Distillation-based deep model compression framework that signif- icantly reduces the size of the multi-CNNs model without deteri- 1.

  • Corporate Bond Market Dysfunction During COVID-19 and Lessons
    Hutchins Center Working Paper # 69 O c t o b e r 2 0 2 0 Corporate Bond Market Dysfunction During COVID-19 and Lessons from the Fed’s Response J. Nellie Liang* October 1, 2020 Abstract: Changes in the financial sector since the global financial crisis appear to have increased dramatically the demand for liquidity by holders of corporate bonds beyond the ability of the markets to provide it in stress events. The March market turmoil revealed the costs of liquidity mismatch in open-end bond mutual funds. The surprisingly large redemptions of investment-grade corporate bond funds added to stresses in both the corporate bond and Treasury markets. These conditions led to unprecedented Fed interventions, which significantly reduced risk spreads and improved market functioning, with much of the improvements occurring right after the initial announcement. The improved conditions allowed companies to issue bonds, which helped them to maintain employees and investment spending. The episode suggests several areas for further study and possible reforms. * J. Nellie Liang, Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy, Brookings Institution ([email protected]).

  • I Want to Be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition

These issues manifested in Hong Kong films of the time in the form of film characters’ language ideologies. An analysis of six films reveals three themes: (1) the assumption of mutual intelligibility between Cantonese and Putonghua, (2) the importance of English towards one’s Hong Kong identity, and (3) the expectation that Mainland immigrants use Cantonese as their primary language of communication in Hong Kong. The recurrence of these findings indicates their prevalence amongst native Hongkongers, even in a post-handover context. 1 Introduction The handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1997 marked the end of 155 years of British colonial rule. Within this socio-political landscape came questions of identification and intergroup relations, both amongst native Hongkongers and Mainland Chinese (Tong et al. 1999, Brewer 1999). These manifest in the attitudes and ideologies that native Hongkongers have towards the three most widely used languages in Hong Kong: Cantonese, English, and Putonghua (a standard variety of Mandarin promoted in Mainland China by the Government).

Three strong fluorescence areas of vitamin B2 locate at λex/λem=270/525nm, 370/525nm and 450/525nm and one fluorescence areas of vitamin B1 locates at λex/λem=370/460nm were found. The influence of pH of solution are also discussed, and with the PARAFAC algorithm, 9 vitamin B2 and vitamin B1 mixed solutions are successfully decomposed, and the emission profiles, excitation profiles, central wavelengths and the concentration of the two components were retrieved precisely through about 10 iteration times. Introduction The fluorescence of a folded protein or bio-aerosol is a mixture of the fluorescence from individual aromatic component and coenzyme. Riboflavin, known as vitamin B2, is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in humans and animals. As such, vitamin B2 is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. Vitamin B2 plays a key role in energy metabolism, and is required for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins [1].

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The Yu of Yi-Mei and Chang-Wan in Kwangtung，S Xin-Hui Xian
    Genealogy and History: The Yu of Yi-mei and Chang-wan in Kwangtung，s Xin-hui xian By L . E ve A r m e n t r o u t M a Chinese / Chinese American History Project, El Cerrito CAt USA A number of reasons have been advanced to explain why formal clan and lineage1 organizations first became widespread in China during the Song dynasty. Among these is the suggestion that the “ new ’， men (many of obscure origins), brought into the bureaucracy by the Song emphasis on the しonfucian examination system, desired to strength­ en the fabric of society. One means they chose was encouraging the revitalization and extension of clan and lineage organizations. They did tms in order to fill the void created by the decline of the aristocratic (“ great”) families (Twitchett 1959: 100-101). If these assumptions are true, one would expect to find a certain amount of the “ ordinary ” in the genealogies kept by these groups. 1 his was, indeed, often the case. A good example is that of the Yu 余 lineage that I will introduce in this essay. These Yus lived in the villages of Yi-mei 乂美 and Chang-wan 長湾 in Kwangtung’s Xin-hui xian 新会縣. As we shall see, they provide an interesting case study of a lineage that had its brief moment of glory, constructed a genealogy that helped to reflect this moment, and then faded into relative obscurity. In light of what we know about the distribution of wealth and power in the southern Chinese countryside, there must have been thousands of lineages similar to this one.

Guyot Science A Summary of the Research Progress and Accomplishments made by the Faculty Members of the Department of Geosciences Climate, biogeochemical cycles and planetary tectonics are the three basic processes that shape the Earth system. Geoscientists face a unique challenge in seeking to understand the complexity of the Earth’s physical and biogeochemical systems. The surface environment of the Earth is controlled by interactions between the deep Earth, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere. These interactions occur on timescales ranging from picoseconds for chemical reactions on particle surfaces to the billions of years over which plate tectonic processes and biological evolution have radically altered the composition of the atmosphere, and in space from nanometer to planetary scales. Princeton’s Department of Geosciences is at the forefront of scientific discovery in the solid earth, the environmental geosciences and oceanography/ climate science. Our faculty and students address critical societal issues, such as climate change and geo- logic hazards, through research and education at all levels. Our mission is to understand Earth’s history and its future, the energy and resources required to support an increasing global population, and the challenge of sustainability in a changing climate.
