Aspect-Oriented Management of Service Requests for Assurance of High Performance and Dependability
PublicationA new approach to service requests management in case of insufficient hardware resources is proposed. It is based on wide aspects of requests analysis and it assures reliable and fast access to priority services. Requests are analyzed for, among others, time of occurrence, category of user who made the request, type of service, current system load and hardware utilization. Deterministic but dynamic rules help to manage system load...

Honey antibacterial activity: A neglected aspect of honey quality assurance as functional food
PublicationBackground Honey is considered as a functional food with health-promoting properties. Its potent antibacterial and antibiofilm effects are the major attributes of so called ‘medical-grade honey’ which is topically used for the treatment of burns, wounds and skin disorders. Nevertheless, the current set of honey quality parameters adopted in the European Union do not include its biological properties. Furthermore, in light of the...

KEMR-Net: A Knowledge-Enhanced Mask Refinement Network for Chromosome Instance Segmentation
PublicationThis article proposes a mask refinement method for chromosome instance segmentation. The proposed method exploits the knowledge representation capability of Neural Knowledge DNA (NK-DNA) to capture the semantics of the chromosome’s shape, texture, and key points, and then it uses the captured knowledge to improve the accuracy and smoothness of the masks. We validate the method’s effectiveness on our latest high-resolution chromosome...
