Summary: In this paper, an intelligent guide system based on a smartphone is proposed. Videos of tactile paving captured by the phone camera are processed and analyzed, and guide messages are sent to the user in the form of sound or vibration. A fine-tuned MobileNet model is used for feature extraction, and Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) is employed for TWSI detection. The user's position is determined using the Score Voting algorithm, and corresponding guide information is provided. The system achieves high accuracy and real-time performance, and can replace bumpy tactile paving with flat stickers or paint with TWSI patterns.

Summary: Mucins are a type of ancient glycoproteins that provide viscoelastic, lubricating, and hydration properties to wet surfaced epithelia. They form a barrier with selective permeability to protect underlying tissues. In the eye, mucins are expressed, processed, and spatially distributed based on specific organ requirements to protect against environmental insults while allowing the passage of light. The adaptation of human ocular surface epithelia includes the production of a thin and watery tear film containing soluble mucin. Transmembrane mucins play a significant role in the tear film, occupying up to one-quarter of its total thickness. Understanding the properties and functions of ocular mucins is crucial for developing applications with potential biological and clinical impact.

Summary: This paper proposes a hybrid Inception v3 XGBoost model for the classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) from microscopic white blood cell images. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms other methods and achieves a weighted F1 score of 0.986. Additionally, using an XGBoost classification head instead of a softmax classification head improves classification performance for this dataset across different CNN backbones.
