Effect of Phoenix dactylifera pollen grains suspension on spermatogenesis and some biochemical parameters in albino rats by Baghdad Science Journal

“…In this study forty mature albino rats were used wich were randomly divided into five groups ,four groups were adminstrated Phoenix dactylifera pollen grains suspension at concertenrations (18,54,108,and 216)mg/ kg body weight by oral administration while the fifth group was considered as a control group.Experiment continued for 40 days then rats were sacrificed and samples of blood were collected for determination of some biochemical parameters (total protein ,total cholesterol ,LDLc and HDLc).Testis were removed for preparation histological sections to measures the diameters of seminferous tubules ,thickness of seminiferous epithelium and the numbers of spermatogenic cells. …”

Steganalysis for stegotext based on text redundancy by LUO Gang, SUN Xing-ming

“…Targeted at the text steganography with mimic model,a steganalysis method based on source redundancy for stegotexts was proposed.This method processed the text and the words in it as the m-order Markov source and the source symbols respectively,then computed the redundancy of the source.Through analyzing the relationship between the re-dundancy and the size of the text,the existence of hidden information could be determined.With testing of 8 000 ste-gotexts produced by the four main softwares NiceText,Texto,Stego and Sams Big Play Maker,and 2 400 normal texts randomly sampled from innocuous texts downloaded from the Internet,the results show that the false positive rate of our steganalysis method is 0.5% and the false negative rate is 3.9%.Experiments and analyzing results indicate that the steganalysis method can effectively detect stegotexts based on natural language processing with mimic model.…”

Improving deep convolutional neural networks with mixed maxout units by Hui-zhen ZHAO, Fu-xian LIU, Long-yue LI, Chang LUO

“…The maxout units have the problem of not delivering non-max features， resulting in the insufficient of pooling operation over a subspace that is composed of several linear feature mappings,when they are applied in deep convolutional neural networks.The mixed maxout (mixout) units were proposed to deal with this constrain.Firstly,the exponential probability of the feature mappings getting from different linear transformations was computed.Then,the averaging of a subspace of different feature mappings by the exponential probability was computed.Finally,the output was randomly sampled from the max feature and the mean value by the Bernoulli distribution,leading to the better utilizing of model averaging ability of dropout.The simple models and network in network models was built to evaluate the performance of mixout units.The results show that mixout units based models have better performance.…”
