In this paper, we propose an effective fusion scheme of visual and auditory modalities to detect events in sports video. The proposed scheme is built upon semantic shot classification, where we classify video shots into several major or interesting classes, each of which has clear semantic meanings. Among major shot classes we perform classification of the different auditory signal segments (i....

BACKGROUND The JUPITER trial showed that some patients with LDL-cholesterol concentrations less than 3·37 mmol/L (<130 mg/dL) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentrations of 2 mg/L or more benefit from treatment with rosuvastatin, although absolute rates of cardiovascular events were low. In a population eligible for JUPITER, we established whether coronary artery calcium (CAC...

We investigate the dynamical evolution of the terrestrial planets during the planetesimal-driven migration of the giant planets. A basic assumption of this work is that giant planet migration occurred after the completion of terrestrial planet formation, such as in the models that link the former to the origin of the Late Heavy Bombardment. The divergent migration of Jupiter and Saturn causes t...

We announce the discovery of a twin of Jupiter orbiting the slightly metalpoor ([Fe/H] = −0.1) nearby (d= 18 pc) G8 dwarf HD 154345. This planet has a minimum mass of 0.95 MJup and a 9.2 year, circular orbit with radius 4.2 AU. There is currently little or no evidence for other planets in the system, but smaller or exterior planets cannot yet be ruled out. We also detect a ∼ 9-year activity cyc...

Source code repositories best support program comprehension tasks when they can successfully answer the many questions a maintainer conceives. To provide the flexibility needed to answer these questions, the Jupiter repository system has been developed. Jupiter, using Maia, a Model based on Annotations, Indices and Attributes, can store any of the syntactic, type and flow information extractabl...
