New Position Candidate Identification via Clustering toward an Extensible On-Body Smartphone Localization System.

On-body device position awareness plays an important role in providing smartphone-based services with high levels of usability and quality. Traditionally, the problem assumed that the positions that were supported by the system were fixed at the time of design. Thus, if a user stores his/her terminal into an unsupported position, the system forcibly classifies it into one of the supported positions.

Interactome analysis of the Tudor domain-containing protein SPF30 which associates with the MTR4-exosome RNA-decay machinery under the regulation of AAA-ATPase NVL2.

The AAA-ATPase NVL2 associates with an RNA helicase MTR4 and the nuclear RNA exosome in the course of ribosome biogenesis. In our proteomic screen, we had identified a ribosome biogenesis factor WDR74 as a MTR4-interacting partner, whose dissociation is stimulated by the ATP hydrolysis of NVL2. In this study, we report the identification of splicing factor 30 (SPF30), another MTR4-interacting protein with a similar regulatory mechanism.

Feature preserving refinement of surfaces for web-based surgical simulation.

In plastic surgery, 3D models of the affected part are often used for the purpose of visualizations and surgical simulations. The optimal models for web-based surgical simulations keep high accuracy in affected parts and keep low accuracy in other parts. Consequently, the data size becomes small.
