ApproxNet: Content and Contention-Aware Video Object Classification System for Embedded Clients

Videos take a lot of time to transport over the network, hence running analytics on the live video on embedded or mobile devices has become an important system driver. Considering such devices, e.g., surveillance cameras or AR/VR gadgets, are resource constrained, although there has been significant work in creating lightweight deep neural networks (DNNs) for such clients, none of these can adapt to changing runtime conditions, e.g., changes in resource availability on the device, the content characteristics, or requirements from the user. In this article, we introduce ApproxNet, a video object classification system for embedded or mobile clients. It enables novel dynamic approximation techniques to achieve desired inference latency and accuracy trade-off under changing runtime conditions. It achieves this by enabling two approximation knobs within a single DNN model rather than creating and maintaining an ensemble of models, e.g., MCDNN [MobiSys-16]. We show that ApproxNet can adapt seamlessly at runtime to these changes, provides low and stable latency for the image and video frame classification problems, and shows the improvement in accuracy and latency over ResNet [CVPR-16], MCDNN [MobiSys-16], MobileNets [Google-17], NestDNN [MobiCom-18], and MSDNet [ICLR-18].

Gastro-retentive drug delivery system: A better approach of drug delivery system

The oral route is the best and most popular route for the administration of drugs in the systemic circulation. There are number of drugs which are given through the oral route. Gastro-retentive drug delivery system is very important system for the drug delivery system. The gastro-retentive drugs prolonged the drug time in the git and also improve their their bioavailability. These are widely used for site specific for the treatment of git disorders and diseases. There are number of approaches for gastro retentive drug delivery system such as floating system, mucoadhesive system, swelling system, high density system etc. In this review we discussed about approaches and various perspectives of gastro retentive drug delivery system.

Bacteria from Infectious Particles to Cell Based Anticancer Targeted Drug Delivery Systems

Bacterial ghosts (BGs) are empty cell envelopes of nonliving evacuated bacterial cells. They are free from their cytoplasmic contents; however, they sustain their cellular 3D morphology and antigenic structures, counting on bioadhesive properties. Lately, they have been tested as an advanced drug delivery system (DDS) for different materials like DNA, peptides, or drugs, either single components or combinations. Different studies have revealed that, BG DDS were paid the greatest attention in recent years. The current review explores the impact of BGs on the field of drug delivery and drug targeting. BGs have a varied area of applications, including vaccine and tumor therapy. Moreover, the use of BGs, their synthesis, their uniqueness as a delivery system and application principles in cancer are discussed. Furthermore, the safety issues of BGs and stability aspects of using ghost bacteria as delivery systems are discussed. Future perspective efforts that must be followed for this important system to continue to grow are important and promising.

Coexistence of structural and magnetic phases in van der Waals magnet CrI3

CrI3 has raised as an important system to the emergent field of two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic materials. However, it is still unclear why CrI3 which has a ferromagnetic rhombohedral structure in bulk, changed to anti-ferromagnetic monoclinic at thin layers. Here we show that this behaviour is due to the coexistence of both monoclinic and rhombohedral crystal phases followed by three magnetic transitions at TC1 = 61 K, TC2 = 50 K and TC3 = 25 K. Each transition corresponds to a certain fraction of the magnetically ordered volume as well as monoclinic and rhombohedral proportion. The different phases are continuously accessed as a function of the temperature over a broad range of magnitudes. Our findings suggest that the challenge of understanding the magnetic properties of thin layers CrI3 is in general a coexisting structural-phase problem mediated by the volume-wise competition between magnetic phases already present in bulk.

CO-CREATING SYSTEMIC CHANGES FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN/UNDER CONSTRUCTION, PRELIMINARY LESSONS FROM THE FLEMISH LIVING LAB ON CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION

Like any persistent challenge, the transition from a linear to a circular construction economy requires systemic changes. To divert from current practices that maintain the take-make-waste logic, we need new ways of doing and thinking within the value network of construction. In search for those enduring changes, a compass group advises the Flemish Living Lab on Circular Construction. This lab is a three-and-a-half-year project of study and experiment initiated by policy. During four participatory workshops, the compass group identified the most important system hurdles and necessary changes for achieving a circular construction economy, through subsequent steps of system analysis, translation and reflection. These outcomes have been synthesized and validated during the last workshop and are presented in this paper as a preliminary outcome of lab. Further, by bringing together forerunners of construction and co-creating together new knowledge, it is demonstrated how a well-guided compass group allows to bring into practice ‘participatory system modelling’. By consequently translating the resulting insights into the requirements for a targeted call for experiments, it is finally shown that this co-created knowledge has been ‘actionable’ for the policy makers of Circular Flanders, and triggered dozens of partnerships to submit an experiment.

THE FORMATION OF TERMINOLOGICAL CHAINS AND PARADIGMS BY COMBINING FROMS

The article is dedicated to analysis of terminology chains, terminological paradigms, terminological families, terminological rows formed by combining forms. Typically the process of filling terminological families exceeds the speed of formation of new ones. Analysis of the material showed that the studied classical word forming elements are characterized by creating the chains of two, three and even four units. Such mini families (2-3 members paradigm) make up a small number in modern terminological systems but have a high potential and provide further “growth” of terms families. Structurally and semantically related terms form terminological series in which terminological elements enter into syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. The final forms enter into the paradigmatic relations as a part of the terminological paradigm built with using a common prepositional component. Acting as a prepositional component they indicate individual features of an object or phenomenon and are a variable value. They become a constant value in the role of postpositive formant and are the indicators of a class of objects or phenomena performing a systematizing function. Classical terminological elements form open terminological rows, chains, families and can enter into paradigmatic relations, which is an important system-forming factor used in terminology to reflect the systemic nature of scientific concepts. The very process of the new terminological families, chains, paradigms creation can be considered both as a process and as a result of terminological derivation.
