In this paper we present S-pot, a benchmark setting for evaluating the performance of automatic spotting of signs in continuous sign language videos. The benchmark includes 5539 video files of Finnish Sign Language, ground truth sign spotting results, a tool for assessing the spottings against the ground truth, and a repository for storing information on the results. In addition we will make ou...

Recent observations of two nodeless gaps in superconducting CeCu$_2$Si$_2$ have raised intensive debates as to its exact gap structure either sign-reversal ($s^{+-}$) or sign-preserving ($s^{++}$) pairing. Here we investigate the quasiparticle interference (QPI) using realistic Fermi surface topology for both weak and strong interband impurity scatterings. Our calculations QPI integrated antisy...

We show that in a superconductor where two or more bands cross the Fermi level it is possible, in the framework of the conventional (s-wave) BCS theory, that the sign of the superconducting gap is different on the different sheets of the Fermi surface. At least one of two conditions has to be satisfied: (1) The interband pairing interaction is weaker than the Coulomb pseudopotential, while the ...

thesis, but had normal CSF albumin and normal plasma proteins. Similar changes often occur in multiple sclerosis and other chronic and subacute inflammatory diseases of the nervous system but are usually of lesser degree than those observed in our patient.16 Elevations of CSF gamma globulin to levels higher than 30% of the total protein are very unusual in neurological disorders other than suba...

Although modern telecommunication has drastically our daily lives, the audibly challenged cannot benefit from such telecommunication because it is based on phonetic media. This paper introduces a new telecommunication system for sign language utilizing VR technology, which enables natural sign conversation on the conventional analogue telephone line. In this method, a person converses with his/...

In this paper, we propose an adder which adds two 2’s complement numbers and results a sign-magnitude number. In this way, the conversion from two’s complement number to sign-magnitude number will be merged with addition.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Standard (static) CT angiography is used to identify the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) spot sign. We used dynamic CT-angiography to describe spot sign characteristics and measurement parameters over 60-seconds of image acquisition. METHODS We prospectively identified consecutive patients presenting with acute ICH within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, and collected whole b...
