Object-based video data representations enable unprecedented functionalities of content access and manipulation. In this paper, we present an integrated approach using region-based analysis for semantic video object segmentation and retrieval. We first present an active system that combines low-level region segmentation with user inputs for defining and tracking semantic video objects. The prop...

This paper describes an ongoing e ort supported by ARPA PCRC (Parallel Compiler Runtime Consortium) project. In particular, we discuess the design and implementation of an HPF compilation system based on PCRC runtime. The approaches to issues such as directive analysis and communication detection are discussed in detail. The discussion includes fragments of code generated by the compiler.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has practically penetrated into all spheres of life. Therefore a closer look at the impact of ICT in public financial management and performance is highly justified. Public finance is defined as a field of economics concerned with paying for collective or governmental activities, and with the administration and design of those activities. Activit...

The efficacy of activation methods and coupling were studied in the context of performance in batch and fixed bed binding experiments utilizing cell culture fluids or blood plasma as feedstock. Conclusions were drawn regarding selection of solid phase according to pore size, rigidity, pH stability, Chemistry of derivation and activation, and gross concentration of immobilized ligand require...
