Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been a new research focus for cancer treatment. Future cancer sufferers will considerably profit from their use in the future. Tumor-directed migratory and integration capacities of MSCs are exceptional, making them potential carriers for the delivery of anticancer medicines, notably cytokines. Their usage in the clinic has lasted around 10 years. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to create successful cancer treatments has been demonstrated in everything from animal models to human studies.

The Visualization, Interaction and Simulation Laboratory (VISLab) is part of the Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Interaction research group, which started its activities in 1978 developing projects mainly on rendering and animation. Along the years, as new researchers joined the group, new research fields such as image acquisition and analysis, virtual reality, nonconventional interaction, and visualization of complex data started to be investigated. Within this group, VISLab is majorly concerned with research on human-computer interaction, with emphasis on non-conventional, 3D interaction and haptics, and immersive visualization in the context of virtual and augmented reality applications. In this paper, we present the VISLab research focus and the strategy we use to achieve its main goal: to enhance the human with computers, extending the perception capabilities, and improving the human power of action in a natural way. We also briefly describe and illustrate some recent works developed in the lab.

3D model segmentation is a new research focus in the field of computer graphics. The segmentation algorithm of this paper is consistent segmentation which is about a group of 3D model with shape similarity. A volume-based shape-function called the shape diameter function (SDF) is used to on behalf of the characteristics of the model. Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is fitting k Gaussians to the SDF values, and EM algorithm is used to segment 3D models consistently. The experimental results show that this algorithm can effectively segment the 3D models consistently.

In recent years, flexible remanufacture has become new research focus because of the requirement of rapid repair and reuse worn parts. 3D modeling of the worn parts is the precondition of flexible remanufacturing system. According to the random position and the various forms of worn parts, 3D detection and reconstruction are necessary. First, this paper establishes a 3D detection and reconstruction system based on linear laser. The mathematic model, work principle and composition of this system are introduced, and then, according to the analysis of this system, a two steps rapid calibration algorithm is proposed. When the system parameters are calibrated, it is able to acquire 3D information on surface of worn parts in the form of scattered point data clouds. Finally, take a coupler kunckles as the worn part, 3D detection and reconstruction verifying experiment is carried out.

This paper first introduces definition and cause for congestion control as well as TCP/IP congestion control mechanism, focusing on introducing active queue management arithmetic in IP congestion control mechanism, and points out its important function in congestion control. The method of active queue management arithmetic which solves full queue of routers is dropping arrived data packets before the queue is full so that end-note is able to respond before the queue overflows, avoiding the actual occurrence of congestion. RED arithmetic is a famous AQM arithmetic and congestion control based on control theory has become a new research focus.

With the continuous publication of Guodian bamboo-slip manuscripts, Shanghai Museum bamboo-slip manuscripts and Tsinghua University bamboo-slip manuscripts, the study of Warring States bamboo-slip manuscripts has become a new research focus in recent years. Exegesis study is one of the most important aspects in bamboo-slip manuscripts research. As can be seen from those exegesis study results, it is found that some of them are widely accepted. However, some results are debateable. Furthermore, in many cases it is difficult to provide clear answers in exegesis study. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the exegesis methods of these accepted and debateable results. Also, theoretical guidance for future research needs to be provided. This article will discuss applying traditional exegesis methods into exegesis study. Then it will discuss applying the special features of Warring States bamboo-slip manuscripts into exegesis study. Finally, it will discuss some problems which should be emphasized in exegesis study.

With the increasingly wider use of smoke in informationized warfare, the evaluation of combat effectiveness has become a new research focus in the realm. Hence, there is a need to investigate the dynamics regulation of smoke particles. In this paper, the authors construct a simulation model by analyzing the expanding process of initial smoke cloud. Further, the SPH method was employed in the dynamics simulation. The curves of velocity, displacement and pressure with time were presented after calculation in AUTODYN. The curves from the dynamics simulation show a good consistent when compared to the theoretical model. It proves that the dynamics simulation of smoke particles based on SPH method is feasible.

ABSTRACTGreat progress in microbiota research during last decades resulted in a growing corpus of publications mentioning the term ‘microbiota’. Specifically, the human microbiota increasingly recognised nowadays as one of the most important health challenges is becoming an emerging research front. By examining over 28 000 microbiota-related papers from the Web of Science database, our study aims to characterise the evolution of publication patterns in this field between 1999 and 2017. The corpus is first analysed in terms of breakdown by journal subject categories, then an additional insight in the structuring of the microbiota research into different topics is provided by means of topic modelling. Our results demonstrate that over time (i) a substantial increase in the publications number is accompanied by a broad diversification of associated journal subject categories; (ii) the research focus moved outside from its primary research field showing successive shifts from dentistry and ecologically centred areas, through agri-food applied topics, towards the most recent clinical applications. The trends in thematic structure of the field presented from a historical perspective suggest that the current systemic approach to host–microbiota relationship inherited from the ecological background of the concept of microbiota has opened up a number of new research directions and perspectives.
