Automatic human action recognition is a core functionality of systems for video surveillance and human object interaction. In the whole recognition system, feature description and encoding represent two crucial key steps. In order to construct a powerful action recognition framework, it is important that the two steps must provide reliable performance. In this paper, we proposed a new human action feature descriptor which is called spatio-temporal histograms of gradients (SPHOG). SPHOG is based on the spatial and temporal derivation signal, which extracts the gradient changes between consecutive frames. Compared to the traditional descriptors histograms of optical flow, our proposed SPHOG costs less computation resource. In order to incorporate the distribution information of local descriptors into Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors (VLAD), which is a popular encoding approach for Bag-of-Feature representation, a Gaussian kernel is implanted to compute the weighted distance histograms of local descriptors. By doing this, the encoding schema for bag-of-feature (BOF) representation is more effective. We validated our proposed algorithm for human action recognition on three public available datasets KTH, UCF Sports and HMDB51. The evaluation experiment results indicate that the proposed descriptor and encoding method can improve the efficiency of human action recognition and the recognition accuracy.

The selectivity of the ubiquitin–26 S proteasome system (UPS) for a particular substrate protein relies on the interaction between a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2, of which a cell contains relatively few) and a ubiquitin–protein ligase (E3, of which there are possibly hundreds). Post-translational modifications of the protein substrate, such as phosphorylation or hydroxylation, are often required prior to its selection. In this way, the precise spatio-temporal targeting and degradation of a given substrate can be achieved. The E3s are a large, diverse group of proteins, characterized by one of several defining motifs. These include a HECT (homologous to E6-associated protein C-terminus), RING (really interesting new gene) or U-box (a modified RING motif without the full complement of Zn2+-binding ligands) domain. Whereas HECT E3s have a direct role in catalysis during ubiquitination, RING and U-box E3s facilitate protein ubiquitination. These latter two E3 types act as adaptor-like molecules. They bring an E2 and a substrate into sufficiently close proximity to promote the substrate's ubiquitination. Although many RING-type E3s, such as MDM2 (murine double minute clone 2 oncoprotein) and c-Cbl, can apparently act alone, others are found as components of much larger multi-protein complexes, such as the anaphase-promoting complex. Taken together, these multifaceted properties and interactions enable E3s to provide a powerful, and specific, mechanism for protein clearance within all cells of eukaryotic organisms. The importance of E3s is highlighted by the number of normal cellular processes they regulate, and the number of diseases associated with their loss of function or inappropriate targeting.

Cyclic Amp Signaling

The second messenger 3′,5′-cyclic nucleoside adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a key role in signal transduction across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cyclic AMP signaling is compartmentalized into microdomains to fulfil specific functions. To define the function of cAMP within these microdomains, signaling needs to be analyzed with spatio-temporal precision. To this end, optogenetic approaches and genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors are particularly well suited. Synthesis and hydrolysis of cAMP can be directly manipulated by photoactivated adenylyl cyclases (PACs) and light-regulated phosphodiesterases (PDEs), respectively. In addition, many biosensors have been designed to spatially and temporarily resolve cAMP dynamics in the cell. This review provides an overview about optogenetic tools and biosensors to shed light on the subcellular organization of cAMP signaling.

Biochemische Parameter

Während Erwachsene und Kinder Schmerzerlebnisse durch Sprache deuten und ihnen so Ausdruck verleihen, ist die Schmerzerfassung bei Neugeborenen wegen der fehlenden Verbalisierung nicht möglich. Die Schmerzerfassung beim Neugeborenen erfolgt indirekt und schließt physiologische, verhaltensbezogene und biochemische Parameter in die Einschätzung mit ein. Diese Literaturübersicht beschreibt die Schwierigkeiten, die der Objektivierung des Schmerzes von Neugeborenen, insbesondere Frühgeborenen, zugrunde liegen. Die meisten der existierenden Schmerzskalen wurden zu Forschungszwecken entwickelt und sind auf ihre Praktikabilität im klinischen Alltag nicht überprüft. Pflegende und ÄrztInnen stehen darum immer noch vor der Schwierigkeit, zwischen einigen zwar validierten, aber auf ihre Anwendbarkeit in der Praxis kaum überprüften Instrumente wählen zu müssen. Dies ist umso bedenklicher, als in der Literatur die kurz- und langfristigen Folgen von anhaltenden Schmerzen bei Neugeborenen mit intraventrikulären Blutungen, Veränderungen im Ernährungs- sowie im Schlafmuster und Beeinträchtigungen im sensiblen Bereich der Eltern-Kind-Beziehung beschrieben werden.
