Inter-Dimensional Correlations Aggregated Attention Network for Action Recognition

IEEE Access, 2021
Recently, 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) models with attention mechanisms have been widely studied in action recognition tasks. Although most of these methods explore the spatial, temporal and channel attention for action recognition, the inter-

Quaternized Chitosan Inhibits icaA Transcription and Biofilm Formation by Staphylococcus on a Titanium Surface [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2011
ABSTRACT Our previous study (Z. X. Peng et al., Carbohydr. Polym. 81: 275-283, 2010) demonstrated that water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts, which are produced by the reaction of chitosan with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride, provide chitosan derivatives with enhanced antibacterial ability.

Detection of icaA Gene Expression in Clinical Biofilm-Producing Staphylococcus Aureus Isolates

Iraqi Journal of Science, 2020
The pathogenicity resulting from Staphylococcus aureus infection has remarkable importance as one of the community-associated bacterial infections, due to the virulent ability of these bacteria to produce biofilms. This study was designed to detect biofilm production in clinical isolates from samples of wounds and urinary tract infections.

Challenges and Misinterpretations of Cohen's Kappa in Agreement Studies in Ophthalmology

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Cohen's kappa is widely used to measure rater agreement on binary outcomes and performs well when outcome prevalence is relatively balanced. This paper aims to explain the challenges encountered with Cohen's kappa, and to provide guidance to veterinary ophthalmologists on the usage and interpretation of kappa values.
