Abstract

For graphical user interface (UI) design, it is important to understand what attracts visual attention. While previous work on saliency has focused on desktop and web-based UIs, mobile app UIs differ from these in several respects. We present findings from a controlled study with 30 participants and 193 mobile UIs. The results speak to a role of expectations in guiding where users look at. Strong bias toward the top-left corner of the display, text, and images was evident, while bottom-up features such as color or size affected saliency less. Classic, parameter-free saliency models showed a weak fit with the data, and data-driven models improved significantly when trained specifically on this dataset (e.g., NSS rose from 0.66 to 0.84). We also release the first annotated dataset for investigating visual saliency in mobile UIs.

Abstract

We investigate the strain-rate-dependent mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of a refractory high entropy alloy, Ti29Zr24Nb23Hf24 (at.%), with a single-phase body-centered cubic (BCC) structure. High-temperature compression tests were conducted at temperatures from 700 to 1100{\deg}C at strain rates ranging from 10-3 to 10 s-1. A sudden stress drop after yield point was observed at higher temperatures and lower strain rates with the Zener-Holloman parameter, lnZ, in the range of 17.2-20.7. Such a softening behavior can be related to the interaction of dislocations with short-range clustering. However, at higher strain rates or lower temperatures (lnZ>25.0), kink bands were activated being responsible for the continuous strengthening of the alloy in competition with the softening mechanism. Systematic TEM investigations reveal that dislocation walls formed along {110} planes and dislocation loops were observed at a low strain of 6% at a high strain rate of 1 s-1 and 800{\deg}C. Kink band induced dynamic recrystallization is evident upon further straining. On the other hand, at low strain rate of 10-3 s-1 and 800{\deg}C, discontinuous recrystallization mechanisms become dominant with arrays of dislocations forming in front of the bulged boundaries of parent grains. These sub-grain boundaries eventually turn into high-angle grain boundaries. We also investigate the deformation mechanism of the alloy under extremely high strain rate (103 s-1) at room temperature. The specimen exhibits extensive kink bands with arrays of dislocation walls. As further strained, multiple slip systems can be activated and the interaction of dislocation walls plays a vital role in the strain hardening of the alloy.

Abstract

BackgroundThe preoperative C-reactive protein/Albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio has been shown to be valuable in predicting the prognosis of patients with certain cancers. The aim of our study is to explore its prognostic value in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).MethodsA retrospective study was performed in 570 RCC patients underwent radical or partial nephrectomy including 541 patients who received full resection of localized (T1-3 N0/+ M0) RCC. The optimal cutoff value of CRP/Alb was determined by the receive operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The impact of the CRP/Alb and other clinicopathological characteristics on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was evaluated using the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.ResultsThe optimal cutoff of CRP/Alb ratio was set at 0.08 according to the ROC analysis. Multivariate analysis indicated that CRP/Alb ratio was independently associated with OS of RCC patients underwent radical or partial nephrectomy (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.94; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.12-3.36; P = 0.018), and DFS of localized RCC patients underwent full resection (HR: 2.14; 95% CI: 1.22-3.75; P = 0.008).ConclusionElevated CRP/Alb ratio was an independent prognostic indicator for poor OS in patients underwent radical or partial nephrectomy and DFS of localized RCC patients underwent full resection. Overall, CRP/Alb may help to identify patients with high relapse risk.

Abstract

BackgroundAs an excellent nondestructive testing technology, cold neutron radiography is widely employed to image materials of interest in many basic and application research fields. One of key components of such device is the neutron sensitive scintillation screen. Normally, these screens are made up of scintillation or phosphor powder mixed with/without neutron sensing isotopes, such as 6LiF:ZnS(Ag) and Gd2O2S:Tb. Uniform scintillation screens are very difficult to make a trade-off between spatial resolution and neutron detection efficiency. Recently a new type of micro-structural scintillation screens has been proposed, which is expected to have higher spatial resolution while maintaining higher neutron detection efficiency. Following this idea, a scintillation screen has been proposed, developed, and studied by our group.PurposeThis study aims to develop a new type of scintillation screens based on a glass capillary array filled with scintillation powders to achieve high spatial resolution and neutron detection efficiency.MethodsFirst of all, a neutron sensing scintillation screen was made by filling very fine grinded Gd2O2S:Tb phosphor powder into glass capillary arrays. Three main steps, i.e. the phosphor powder grinding, the particle size screening, and the vacuum suction filtration process, were taken making such screens. Then, photographs of Gd2O2S:Tb phosphor before and after grinding were taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to examine the filling efficiency of scintillation powder in the glass capillary arrays. Finally, experimental test of spatial resolution of such scintillation screens was carried out by using an optical system to read out the scintillation light emitted by the screen, and a Siemens Star neutron test target to characterize the screens' spatial resolution with cold neutrons.ResultsX-ray luminescence spectra show that the grinding process reduces the light yield of the phosphor. The filling efficiency of scintillation powder in the glass capillary arrays is up to 70%. The cold neutron imaging system with developed scintillation screen achieves spatial resolution of about 300 μm@CTF=3% by experimental test.ConclusionsAlthough the new neutron sensing scintillation screen is still under-developing and there are still some problems to be overcome, cold neutron imaging scintillation screen based on glass capillary array filled with Gd2O2S:Tb phosphor, proposed in this study, can be used to achieve high spatial resolution and neutron detection efficiency with advantages of low cost and simple fabrication process.
