TL;DR: In this article, the formation of oxygen structures in activated carbon is investigated using cherry stones (CS) as starting material and commonly air as activating agent, and the activation at 250°C in air results in activated carbons that contain different oxygen structures when CS is carbonized at 450 or 600°C.

TL;DR: The double‐null genotype for GSTT1 and GSTM1 might play a role in determining the susceptibility to develop DILI, as a general mechanism that occurs regardless of the type of drug involved, and predominantly in women.

TL;DR: Most students had a favorable perception about the flipped classroom noting the ability to pause, rewind and review lectures, as well as increased individualized learning and increased teacher availability.
Abstract: “Flipped classroom” teaching methodology is a type of blended learning in which the traditional class setting is inverted. Lecture is shifted outside of class, while the classroom time is employed to solve problems or doing practical works through the discussion/peer collaboration of students and instructors. This relatively new instructional methodology claims that flipping your classroom engages more effectively students with the learning process, achieving better teaching results. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the effects of the flipped classroom on the students’ performance and perception of this new methodology. This study was conducted in a general science course, sophomore of the Primary Education bachelor degree in the Training Teaching School of the University of Extremadura (Spain) during the course 2014/2015. In order to assess the suitability of the proposed methodology, the class was divided in two groups. For the first group, a traditional methodology was followed, and it was used as control. On the other hand, the “flipped classroom” methodology was used in the second group, where the students were given diverse materials, such as video lessons and reading materials, before the class to be revised at home by them. Online questionnaires were as well provided to assess the progress of the students before the class. Finally, the results were compared in terms of students’ achievements and a post-task survey was also conducted to know the students’ perceptions. A statistically significant difference was found on all assessments with the flipped class students performing higher on average. In addition, most students had a favorable perception about the flipped classroom noting the ability to pause, rewind and review lectures, as well as increased individualized learning and increased teacher availability.

TL;DR: This paper uses extended multiattribute profiles (EMAPs) to integrate the spatial and spectral information contained in the data to exploit the inherent low-dimensional structure of the EMAPs to provide state-of-the-art classification results for different multi/hyperspectral data sets.
Abstract: In recent years, sparse representations have been widely studied in the context of remote sensing image analysis. In this paper, we propose to exploit sparse representations of morphological attribute profiles for remotely sensed image classification. Specifically, we use extended multiattribute profiles (EMAPs) to integrate the spatial and spectral information contained in the data. EMAPs provide a multilevel characterization of an image created by the sequential application of morphological attribute filters that can be used to model different kinds of structural information. Although the EMAPs' feature vectors may have high dimensionality, they lie in class-dependent low-dimensional subpaces or submanifolds. In this paper, we use the sparse representation classification framework to exploit this characteristic of the EMAPs. In short, by gathering representative samples of the low-dimensional class-dependent structures, any given sample may by sparsely represented, and thus classified, with respect to the gathered samples. Our experiments reveal that the proposed approach exploits the inherent low-dimensional structure of the EMAPs to provide state-of-the-art classification results for different multi/hyperspectral data sets.

TL;DR: A new technique for unsupervised unmixing which is based on a deep autoencoder network (DAEN), which can unmix data sets with outliers and low signal-to-noise ratio and demonstrates very competitive performance.
Abstract: Spectral unmixing is a technique for remotely sensed image interpretation that expresses each (possibly mixed) pixel as a combination of pure spectral signatures (endmembers) and their fractional abundances. In this paper, we develop a new technique for unsupervised unmixing which is based on a deep autoencoder network (DAEN). Our newly developed DAEN consists of two parts. The first part of the network adopts stacked autoencoders (SAEs) to learn spectral signatures, so as to generate a good initialization for the unmixing process. In the second part of the network, a variational autoencoder (VAE) is employed to perform blind source separation, aimed at obtaining the endmember signatures and abundance fractions simultaneously. By taking advantage from the SAEs, the robustness of the proposed approach is remarkable as it can unmix data sets with outliers and low signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the multihidden layers of the VAE ensure the required constraints (nonnegativity and sum-to-one) when estimating the abundances. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using both synthetic and real hyperspectral data. When compared with other unmixing methods, the proposed approach demonstrates very competitive performance.
