Tracks of small animals are important in environmental surveillance, where pattern recognition algorithms allow species identification of the individuals creating tracks. These individuals can also be seen as artists, presented in their natural environments with a canvas upon which they can make prints. We present tracks of small mammals and reptiles which have been collected for identification...

The online drift velocity calibration method provides calibration parameters required at the very beginning of the offline reconstruction process in order to determine the z position of the particle tracks with a sufficient accuracy before the combined track finding [2]. It uses the TPC Laser System which generates 336 straight laser tracks, similar to ionizing particle tracks, at known positio...

We present a database of the latest stellar models of the Y 2 (Yonsei-Yale) collaboration. This database contains the stellar evolutionary tracks from the pre-main-sequence birthline to the helium core flash that were used to construct the Y 2 isochrones (Yi et al. 2001; Kim et al. 2002). We also provide a simple interpolation routine that generates stellar tracks for given sets of parameters (...

ESCRT rings around the membrane V esicles within vesicles might be made with the help of rings of membrane-bending polymers that are revealed in images from Hanson et al. The budding of small vesicles into larger endo-somes—known as multivesicular bodies (MVBs)—is directed by the sequential action of the ESCRT I, II, and III complexes. ESCRTs I and II bind to ubiquitinated cargo and to endosome...

This paper reports on the participation of FBK at the IWSLT2013 evaluation campaign on automatic speech recognition (ASR): precisely on both English and German ASR track. Only primary submissions have been sent for evaluation. For English, the ASR system features acoustic models trained on a portion of the TED talk recordings that was automatically selected according to the fidelity of the prov...

The term cancer and the heart is readily associated with the cardiotoxicity of antineoplastic agents, such as anthracyclines or receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This Viewpoint offers a different perspective, drawing attention to the consequences of metabolic dysregulation in cancers for energy substrate metabolism and contractile function of the heart and to common cellular strategies prese...

Nacrtak Many logging operators in Finland use bogie tracks and wheel chains all the year round and under all terrain conditions. The hypothesis tested here is that bogie tracks and wheel chains increase the resistance forces, and thus fuel consumption, when operating in summer conditions and on a hard-earth forest floor. Fuel consumption was measured under such conditions using the CAN bus and ...

In this paper, we introduce tracks. A track is a global constraint for parallelizing the execution of task sets in non-preemptive scheduling. We give algorithms for bound as well as for domain reasoning, we propose applications in school timetabling, and we report results of a large-scale empirical study. Section 2 introduces concepts and notations we rely on. Section 3 defines tracks in terms ...

Oxidation of DNA increases its mutation rate, causing otherwise rare G→ T transversions during DNA replication. Here we use a comparative genomic approach to assess the importance of DNA oxidation for the evolution of genomic sequences. To do so, we study the mutational spectrum of Gn-tracks on various timescales, ranging from one human generation to the divergence between primates, and compare...
