This paper presents CLIP Driven Few-shot Panoptic Segmentation (CLIP-FPS), a novel few-shot panoptic segmentation model that leverages the knowledge of Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) model. The proposed method builds upon center indexing attention mechanism to facilitate transfer, which entails representing objects in an image as centers along with their pixel offsets. comprises...

objective(s) we investigated the effects of low-dose morphine on nitric oxide (no) and angiogenesis in two-kidney one clip hypertensive (2k1c) rats. materials and methods male rats were divided into two groups: sham-clip operated and 2k1c. each group subdivided into saline and morphine (3 mg/kg i.p. 8 weeks) groups. blood pressure, heart rate, plasma renin activity (pra), no concentration and m...

A multi-clip query requests multiple video clips. In this paper we address the multi-clip query optimization problem. We propose a new heuristics called Restricted Search Interval that maximizes clip sharing between queries and consequently reduces the workload of the video server. The experimental results show that the suggested heuristics reduces the server workload by about 68.7% in comparis...

The use of noseclips for open-circuit spirometry is sporadic, despite guidelines encouraging their use. The authors aimed to evaluate whether noseclips significantly affected measurements of forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in children attending a tertiary, paediatric respiratory centre. Children attending the asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF) clinics ...

Major histocompatibility complex class II-associated invariant chain (Ii) provides several important functions that regulate class II expression and function. One of these is the ability to inhibit class II peptide loading early in biosynthesis. This allows for efficient class II folding and egress from the endoplasmic reticulum, and protects the class II peptide binding site from loading with ...
