    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro TecnológicoO nascimento de uma criança com Síndrome de Down, é muitas vezes um acontecimento embaraçoso para aqueles que a atendem. As dificuldades vão da habilidade para firmar o diagnóstico até a tranqüilidade para informá-lo à família, preparando-a para aceitar a criança e ajudá-la em seu desenvolvimento. Este trabalho é direcionado ao paciente Down e sua família buscando melhor atendê-los em suas necessidades de saúde. Mas se dirige principalmente ao profissional de saúde pois conhece-se a escassez de informações disponíveis sobre esta Síndrome, embora exista uma grande quantidade de informações médicas sobre esta doença em nosso meio, elas são pouco conhecidas por pais, voluntários e outros profissionais de saúde. Assim o Sistema de Hipermídia para o Esclarecimento da Síndrome de Down, visa contribuir para que o usuário iniciante ou não na área da informática, possa utilizar o computador na aprendizagem sobre esta Síndrome, bem como sua descoberta e principais característica

    Overlapping signals for translational regulation and packaging of influenza A virus segment 2

    No full text
    Influenza A virus segment 2 mRNA expresses three polypeptides: PB1, PB1-F2 and PB1-N40, from AUGs 1, 4 and 5 respectively. Two short open reading frames (sORFs) initiated by AUGs 2 and 3 are also present. To understand translational regulation in this system, we systematically mutated AUGs 1–4 and monitored polypeptide synthesis from plasmids and recombinant viruses. This identified sORF2 as a key regulatory element with opposing effects on PB1-F2 and PB1-N40 expression. We propose a model in which AUGs 1–4 are accessed by leaky ribosomal scanning, with sORF2 repressing synthesis of downstream PB1-F2. However, sORF2 also up-regulates PB1-N40 expression, most likely by a reinitiation mechanism that permits skipping of AUG4. Surprisingly, we also found that in contrast to plasmid-driven expression, viruses with improved AUG1 initiation contexts produced less PB1 in infected cells and replicated poorly, producing virions with elevated particle:PFU ratios. Analysis of the genome content of virus particles showed reduced packaging of the mutant segment 2 vRNAs. Overall, we conclude that segment 2 mRNA translation is regulated by a combination of leaky ribosomal scanning and reinitiation, and that the sequences surrounding the PB1 AUG codon are multifunctional, containing overlapping signals for translation initiation and for segmentspecific packaging

    Object and feature based modelling of attention in meeting and surveillance videos

    MPhilThe aim of the thesis is to create and validate models of visual attention. To this extent, a novel unsupervised object detection and tracking framework has been developed by the author. It is demonstrated on people, faces and moving objects and the output is integrated in modelling of visual attention. The proposed approach integrates several types of modules in initialisation, target estimation and validation. Tracking is rst used to introduce high-level features, by extending a popular model based on low-level features[1]. Two automatic models of visual attention are further implemented. One based on winner take it all and inhibition of return as the mech- anisms of selection on a saliency model with high- and low-level features combined. Another which is based only on high-level object tracking results and statistic proper- ties from the collected eye-traces, with the possibility of activating inhibition of return as an additional mechanism. The parameters of the tracking framework thoroughly investigated and its success demonstrated. Eye-tracking experiments show that high- level features are much better at explaining the allocation of attention by the subjects in the study. Low-level features alone do correlate signi cantly with real allocation of attention. However, in fact it lowers the correlation score when combined with high-level features in comparison to using high-level features alone. Further, ndings in collected eye-traces are studied with qualitative method, mainly to discover direc- tions in future research in the area. Similarities and dissimilarities between automatic models of attention and collected eye-traces are discusse
