This letter presents a novel approach for traffic light detection in a video frame captured by an in-vehicle camera. The algorithm consists of rotated principal component analysis (RPCA), modified amplitude thresholding with respect to the histograms of the PC planes and final filtering with a neural network. The proposed algorithm achieves an average detection rate of 96% and is very robust to...

In contexts of competitive multi-agent coordination in a highly dynamic environment, one of the crucial problems is the resolution of deadlocks situations. In the field of multi-agent simulation, such situations can appear owing to the local perception of each agent. This article is dedicated to the proposition of a model actions selection by anticipation. We detail this model within the framew...

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTPEH) is one of the few forms of pulmonary hypertension for which we have a clear and undisputed solution, i.e. pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). In the vast majority of patients, PEA markedly improves or even cures the disease [1]. Over the years, surgeons have continuously improved their skills and are now reaching beyond the level of the subsegme...

Inflammatory mediators can play a dual role in oncogenesis and tumor progression. CX3CL1, a chemokine previously implicated in natural killer cell- and CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immune responses, has now been identified as a promoter of ERBB2-expressing breast carcinomas as it cross-activates members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family.

Paxilllin is a multifunctional and multidomain focal adhesion adapter protein which serves an important scaffolding role at focal adhesions by recruiting structural and signaling molecules involved in cell movement and migration, when phosphorylated on specific Tyr and Ser residues. Upon integrin engagement with extracellular matrix, paxillin is phosphorylated at Tyr31, Tyr118, Ser188, and Ser1...

Parallelization of recursive programs is still an open problem today, lacking suitable and precise static analyses. This article presents a novel data ow analysis framework based on push-down (a.k.a. algebraic) transducers. This technique achieves a global and precise description of the data ow and discovers important semantic properties of the programs. Future fruitful research, at the crossro...
