Crayfish (Orconectes spp.), Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea), northern hog sucker (hog sucker; Hypentelium nigricans), and smallmouth bass (smallmouth; Micropterus dolomieu) from streams in southeastern Missouri (USA) were analyzed for total mercury (HgT) and for stable isotopes of carbon (δ¹³C), nitrogen (δ¹⁵N), and sulfur (δ³⁴S) to discern Hg transfer pathways. HgT concentrations were generall...

Open face recognition provides an uncertain challenge to criminal identification. Thus, this has many uses, from security entertainment. Even if other biometric characteristics like iris and fingerprints are reliable, a person must be present use them. Therefore, there better tools for thieves authentication. Anyone can recognize in image using technology conjunction with database containing th...

Pedestrian detection is one of the key problems in emerging selfdriving car industry. And HOG algorithm has proven to provide good accuracy for pedestrian detection. There are plenty of research works have been done in accelerating HOG algorithm on FPGA because of its low-power and high-throughput characteristics. In this paper, we present a high-performance HOG architecture for pedestrian dete...

This paper presents several novel Gabor-based color descriptors for object and scene image classification. Firstly, a new Gabor-HOG descriptor is proposed for image feature extraction. Secondly, the Gabor-LBP descriptor derived by concatenating the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) histograms of all the component images produced by applying Gabor filters is integrated with the Gabor-HOG using an opti...

Linear Support Vector Machines trained on HOG features are now a de facto standard across many visual perception tasks. Their popularisation can largely be attributed to the step-change in performance they brought to pedestrian detection, and their subsequent successes in deformable parts models. This paper explores the interactions that make the HOG-SVM symbiosis perform so well. By connecting...

The fluorescent antibody technique was adapted to the localization of native protein antigens in cells and tissues. This method was applied specifically to the localization of adrenocorticotropic hormone in the pituitary gland. An antiserum to hog ACTH was produced in an adrenalectomized rabbit. The gamma(2)-globulin fraction of the serum was conjugated with fluorescein. After purification, the...

In the paper [1] published in CVPR, we presented a method that can directly use deformable part models (DPMs) trained as in [3]. After training, HOG based part filters are hashed, and, during inference, counts of hashing collisions summed over all hash bands serve as a proxy for part-filter / sliding-window dot products, i.e., filter responses. These counts are an approximation and so we take t...

The paper presents an original approach for pedestrian detection in thermal imagery using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for feature extraction and the neural network classifier called Concurrent Self-Organizing Maps (CSOM), previously introduced by first author. The proposed algorithm has the following main stages: (a) detection of the regions of interest (ROI); (b) feature selection us...

PROBLEM To determine whether neighbors around manure lagoons and massive hog confinement buildings who complained of offensive odors and symptoms had impaired brain and lung functions. METHOD We compared near hog manure neighbors of lagoons to people living beyond 3 kilometers in Ohio and to unexposed people controls in a nearby state for neurophysiological, cognitive, recall and memory funct...

Hog kidney Acylase I, an enzyme which hydrolyzes N-acetylL-amino acids, has been purified approximately 40-fold by Greenstein (1). During the course of the purification of hog kidney dialkylfluorophosphatase, it was consistently found that the protein fractions containing DFPasel activity also possessed very high Acylase I activity. Inasmuch as the DFPase and Acylase I activities were found to ...
