The extent of dimension reduction is investigated and on the premise of it, the average accuracy can achieve 97.46% in the recognition of six hand gestures. The optimal feature set based on the original feature set is determined to be Mean Absolute Value, Variance, and the fourth-order Autoregressive Coefficient, which yields an average accuracy of 95.94% in the recognition of eight hand gestures. An average method is proposed to improve the accuracy further, resulting in the average accuracy in eight gestures being 98.12% and the best individual accuracy of some hand gestures being 100%.

“A tertiary endosymbiosis
between a dinoflagellate host and diatom endosymbiont gave rise to “dinotoms,”
cells with a unique nuclear and mitochondrial redundancy derived from two evolutionarily S3I-201 distinct eukaryotic lineages. To examine how this unique redundancy might have affected the evolution of metabolic systems, we investigated the transcription of genes involved in biosynthesis of the amino acid tryptophan in three species, Durinskia baltica, Kryptoperidinium foliaceum, and Glenodinium foliaceum. From transcriptome sequence data, we recovered two distinct sets of protein-coding transcripts covering the entire tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. Phylogenetic analyses suggest a diatom origin for one set of the proteins, which we infer to be expressed in the endosymbiont, and that the other arose from multiple horizontal gene transfer events to the dinoflagellate ancestor Selleck S3I-201 of the host lineage. This is the first indication that these cells retain redundant sets of transcripts and likely metabolic pathways for the biosynthesis of small molecules and extend their redundancy to their two distinct nuclear genomes.”
“In
this article, molecular dynamics simulation was performed to study the heat transport in secondary particles chain of silica aerogel. The two adjacent particles as the basic heat transport unit were modelled to characterize the heat transfer through the calculation of thermal resistance and vibrational density of states (VDOS). The total thermal resistance of two contact particles was predicted by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (NEMD). The defects were formed by deleting atoms in the system randomly first and performing heating and quenching process afterwards to achieve the DLCA (diffusive limited cluster-cluster aggregation) process. This kind of treatment showed a very reasonable prediction of thermal conductivity for the silica aerogels compared with the experimental values. The heat transport was great suppressed as the contact length increased or defect concentration increased. The constrain effect of heat transport was much significant when contact length fraction was in the small range ( smaller than 0.
