Up to date several strategies of how to retrieve depth information from a sequence of images have been described. In this paper a method that turns around the symbiosis existing between stereovision and motion is introduced. The central idea behind our approach is to transpose the spatially-defined problem of disparity estimation into the spatial-temporal domain. Motion is analyzed in the origi...

Computing nodes in a flexible network arrangement must support a range of programming facilities. Modern controllers allow already programs stored in different degrees of permanency. Other measures are more focused on structural changes. The overall potential is to-day not supported by a single device. It is the purpose of this paper to outline the architectural requirements for a generic LOFAR...

The tissue distribution of a long-acting oxytetracycline formulation after intramuscular administration to calves at a dose rate of 20 mg/kg was studied. Oxytetracycline concentrations were determined in lung, bone marrow, mammary gland, uterus, uterine horn, ovary, liver, synovial fluid, joint tissue, kidney, spleen, brain, muscle, fat, urine, bile, saliva, ruminal content and serum. Observed ...

The major problems that manufacturers and marketers face when using the Internet to manage the global value chain are (1) cannibalization of normal traditional channels sales by Internet based sales; (2) overselling supply, production, and distribution capacities due to the lack of salesperson involvement to apply knowledge about these capacities; (3) misinterpretation of the permanency of the ...

A new computational model for active visual attention is introduced in this paper. The method extracts motion and shape features from video image sequences, and integrates these features to segment the input scene. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of the motion features present in our algorithms in the task of refining and/or enhancing scene segmentation in the method propos...

Whenever an allegation of child abuse or neglect is made, the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) 2 , formerly known as the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), is required to initiate an investigation. N.J.A.C. 10:129-2.1(a). If the evidence gathered during the investigation leads to the conclusion that it is more likely than not that the accused person committed an ac...

Piaget proposed that understanding permanency, understanding occlusion events, and forming mental representations were synonymous; however, accumulating evidence indicates that those concepts are not unified in development. Infants reach for endarkened objects at younger ages than for occluded objects, and infants' looking patterns suggest that they expect occluded objects to reappear at younge...

Foster care remains a valuable and safe intervention for many children unable to live with their birth family. When birth family reunification is not considered possible, a small proportion of children in foster care will go on to achieve permanency by way of adoption. This article reports on some unexpected findings to emerge from two national adoption studies of previously looked after childr...

Emergency rule provides opportunities for aspiring autocrats to subvert democratic institutions while still following constitutional rules. There has been a steady rise in the use of emergency this purpose recent years, leading many scholars speak “permanent” rule. Existing explanations permanent focus on national-level factors, completely neglecting role local political dynamics. Our goal is t...
