Accurate segmentation of organs-at-risk is important inprostate cancer radiation therapy planning. However, poor soft tissue contrast in CT makes the segmentation task very challenging. We propose a deep convolutional neural network approach to automatically segment the prostate, bladder, and rectum from pelvic CT. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bindarit.html A hierarchical coarse-to-fine segmentation strategy is used where the first step generates a coarse segmentation from which an organ-specific region of interest (ROI) localization map is produced. The second step produces detailed and accurate segmentation of the organs. The ROI localization map is generated using a 3D U-net. The localization map helps adjusting the ROI of each organ that needs to be segmented and hence improves computational efficiency by eliminating irrelevant background information. For the fine segmentation step, we designed a fully convolutional network (FCN) by combining a generative adversarial network (GAN) with a U-net. Specifically, the generator is a 3D U-net that is trained to predict individual pelvic structures, and the discriminator is an FCN which fine-tunes the generator predicted segmentation map by comparing it with the ground truth. The network was trained using 100 CT datasets and tested on 15 datasets to segment the prostate, bladder and rectum. The average Dice similarity (mean±SD) of the prostate, bladder and rectum are 0.90±0.05, 0.96±0.06 and 0.91±0.09, respectively, and Hausdorff distances of these three structures are 5.21±1.17, 4.37±0.56 and 6.11±1.47(mm), respectively. The proposed method produces accurate and reproducible segmentation of pelvic structures, which can be potentially valuable for prostate cancer radiotherapy treatment planning.Inconsistencies exist regarding the relation between physical activity (PA) and internalizing symptomology in early adolescence, and there is need for investigation of potential moderators that may account for these discrepancies. The current study utilized a Self-Determination Theory Framework to investigate the main effects of five key motivations to exercise and their moderating effects between PA and internalizing problems in an underserved sample of adolescents (n = 167; mean age = 12.19 years; 73% African American). Analyses showed that intrinsic motivations were negatively related to internalizing problems and extrinsic motivations were positively related. PA was only protective against internalizing problems when intrinsic motivations were high and had iatrogenic effects when these were low. Exploratory analyses further delineated the unique effects of motivational orientations. Clinical implications and future research directions are discussed.Quarantine conditions arising as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) have had a significant impact on global production-rates and supply chains. This has coincided with increased demands for medical and personal protective equipment such as face shields. Shortages have been particularly prevalent in western countries which typically rely upon global supply chains to obtain these types of device from low-cost economies. National calls for the repurposing of domestic mass-production facilities have the potential to meet medical requirements in coming weeks, however the immediate demand associated with the virus has led to the mobilisation of a diverse distributed workforce. Selection of appropriate manufacturing processes and underused supply chains is paramount to the success of these operations. A simplified medical face shield design is presented which repurposes an assortment of existing alternative supply chains. The device is easy to produce with minimal equipment and training. It is hoped that the methodology and approach presented is of use to the wider community at this critical time. © 2020 The Authors.

The latter is defined as the number of consecutive maximal staircase subwords packed in a word. We study asymptotic properties of the sequence hr,k (n), the number of n-array words with r separations over alphabet [k] and show that for any r ≥ 0, the growth sequence (hr,k ,(n))1/n converges to a characterized limit, independent of r. In addition, we study the asymptotic behavior of the random variable S k ( n ) , the number of staircase separations in a random word in [k] n and obtain several limit theorems for the distribution of S k ( n ) , including a law of large numbers, a central limit theorem, and the exact growth rate of the entropy of S k ( n ) . Finally, we obtain similar results, including growth limits, for longest L-staircase subwords and subsequences.Urban ecosystem service (UES) is becoming an influential concept to guide the planning, design, and management of urban landscapes towards urban sustainability. However, its use is hindered by definitional ambiguity, and the conceptual bases underpinning its application remain weak. This is exemplified by two different but equally valid interpretations of UES "urban ecosystem services", referring to ecosystem services from analogs of natural and semi-natural ecosystems within urban boundaries, and "urban ecosystem services", a much broader term that includes the former group as well as urban services in a city. While we recognize that a single definition of UES is not possible nor necessary as its application is context-dependent, it is nevertheless useful to clarify the relationships between these interpretations to promote consistent use, and importantly, explore how a broader interpretation of UES might advance its applications in areas that have been neglected. We developed a conceptual framework that links UES to natural and human-derived capital to explain the relationships between the dual meanings of UES and proposed three normative propositions to guide its application (1) integrate holistically multiple components of natural capital to provide UES, (2) reduce dependence on non-renewable abiotic resources and human-derived capital, and (3) enhance UES through technology. The framework we developed helps to resolve the current ambiguity in the meanings of UES, highlights the need to recognise neglected aspects of natural capital important for UES, and can be used to clarify relationships with related concepts conveying dependence of human well-being on nature. © 2020 The Authors.
