New concepts in the manipulation of time in video editing are presented, enabling some unique visual effects. These effects include (i) slowing down (or postponing) some dynamic events while speeding up (or advancing) others. (ii) Creating dynamic panoramic images of dynamic scenes. (iii) Generating new views of a scene without a 3D model. (iv) Creating panoramic stereo images. Time manipulatio...

The study constitutes a synthesis of available knowledge on the worldwide implementation artificial intelligence (AI) in judicial process. authors’ objective is to present this information structured way and thereby assess likelihood potential risks AI-assisted AI-based adjudication. real-life AI as supporting tool for human adjudicators, means aiding drafting decisions, machine adjudicator are...

Solving the obesity crisis has less to do with post-partisanship and more to do with increasing public support for strong public policy initiatives that will make the healthy choice the easy choice. The government has an important role in mitigating the toxic food environment created by food manufacturers and restaurant chains. Progress to date has occurred on the state level. With greater publ...

Business organisations in the twenty-first century operate in an environment that is fundamentally different from the world in which the first bureaucratic organisation functioned. Despite the fact that for-profit organisations became the most powerful force in industrialised societies during the twentieth century, the future of modern-day corporations seems less certain, less knowable and less...

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has long been considered frontline therapy for newly diagnosed myeloma patients. This Spotlight examines the role of ASCT in the era of novel drugs and argues that ASCT should continue to be considered for eligible patients. A combination of novel drugs with ASCT in a sequential treatment approach can attain long-term survival and perhaps cure a subse...

Over the past two decades, numerous suits for damages have been brought against physicians for the injury of wrongful life, or wrongful birth. Within the past 5 years, several precedents have been set that broaden the physician's legal obligation to recognize and act upon foreseeable or potentially recurrent genetic, teratogenic, or chromosomal disorders. These precedents may be expected to aff...

Among the worlds beyond Earth potentially accessible to man in the foreseeable future, only the planet Mars falls within the known parameters of life. Given the present and potential range of human technological capabilities, in the relatively near future it may be possible to profoundly modify environmental and ecological conditions on Mars by a process that has come to be known as terraformat...

If neutrino mass and mixing consistent with the neutrino oscillation data are the only source of lepton flavor violation (LFV)in nature, the other LFV decays like the radiative and semileptonic decays would be too small to be observed experimentally in the foreseeable future. These decays have been the objects of recent Belle measurments. We analyze LFV in Little Higgs Model with T-parity and f...

www.mathworks.com The purpose of RTCA/DO-254 (referred to herein as “DO-254”) is to provide guidance for the development of airborne electronic hardware. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and other worldwide aviation safety authorities require this standard to ensure that complex electronic hardware used in aircraft systems works as specified und...
