Identifying the same individual across different scenes is an important yet difficult task in intelligent video surveillance. Its main difficulty lies in how to preserve similarity of the same person against large appearance and structure variation while discriminating different individuals. In this paper, we present a scalable distance driven feature learning framework based on the deep neural...

Secure cooperation is the problem of protecting mutually suspicious code units within the same execution environment from their potentially malicious peers. A statically enforceable capability type system is proposed for the JVM bytecode language to provide fine-grained access control of shared resources among peer code units. The design of the type system is inspired by recent advances in alia...

Energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters form a large group of vitamin uptake systems in prokaryotes. They are composed of highly diverse, substrate-specific, transmembrane proteins (S units), a ubiquitous transmembrane protein (T unit), and homo- or hetero-oligomeric ABC ATPases. Biotin transporters represent a special case of ECF-type systems. The majority of the biotin-specific S units (Bio...

Before being used in scientific investigations and policy described. The objective of this article is to elucidate these fundamental structures. We describe the three basic comdecisions, thematic maps constructed from remotely sensed data should be subjected to a statistically rigorous accuponents of an accuracy assessment, the sampling design, the response design, and the estimation and analys...

Background: It is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. In the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. Materials and Methods: In this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after p...

The units of the central nervous system controlling voluntary movement are described and the roles of the motor and sensory cortex, of the basal ganglia and cerebellum and of the final common loop are outlined. The pathophysiology underlying disturbances of movement, power and tone of the limbs is discussed, with particular reference to the more common dyskinesias.

This research proposes a new ranking system for extreme efficient DMUs (Decision Making Units) based upon the omission of these efficient DMUs from reference set of the inefficient DMUs. We state and prove some facts related to our model. A numerical example where the proposed method is compared with traditional ranking approaches is shown. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detecting specific immunoglobulin M in infections with Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo was evaluated on 69 patients. The test was sensitive and simple to perform, requiring a single dilution of test serum, with data expressed as units of antibody activity interpolated from a reference serum pool.
