Instead of handling media on video tapes, television companies are moving towards storing media in digital media archives. Populating a media archive with media files is known as ingesting the media. The DART system is a system capable of automatically scheduling ingest of media available through live video feeds. This is a complex process with several single-points-of-failure, points where, if...

A genetic linkage mapping study was conducted in 93 doubled-haploid lines derived from a cross between Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell 'Arina' and a Norwegian spring wheat breeding line, NK93604, using diversity arrays technology (DArT), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The objective of this study was to understand the distribution, redunda...

In this position statement, we describe our approach to prototyping AR applications embodied in the Designer’s Augmented Reality Toolkit (DART), a system we are creating to allow non-technologists to easily create augmented reality (AR) experiences. Over the past year our research has been focused on the creation of this toolkit that can be used by technologists, designers, and students alike t...

Cinnamomum tamala Nees & Eberm. is an important traditional medicinal plant, mentioned in various ancient literatures such as Ayurveda. Several of its medicinal properties have recently been proved. To characterize diversity in terms of metabolite profiles of Cinnamomum tamala Nees and Eberm genotypes, a newly emerging mass spectral ionization technique direct time in real time (DART) is very h...

Some stylommatophoran species, including several helicid snails common to Europe and North America, drive sharp, calcareous darts into their sexual partners prior to copulation. Why any animal would treat a prospective mate in this manner has been the subject of considerable speculation. One widely held belief is that the dart stimulates the partner. Here, I review evidence showing that this hy...

Abstract—We introduce a new event-based visual descriptor, termed as distribution aware retinal transform (DART), for pattern recognition using silicon retina cameras. The DART descriptor captures the information of the spatio-temporal distribution of events, and forms a rich structural representation. Consequently, the event context encoded by DART greatly simplifies the feature correspondence...

MART (Friedman, 2001, 2002), an ensemble model of boosted regression trees, is known to deliver high prediction accuracy for diverse tasks, and it is widely used in practice. However, it suffers an issue which we call over-specialization, wherein trees added at later iterations tend to impact the prediction of only a few instances, and make negligible contribution towards the remaining instance...

16 DART EB is a model that is being developed for simulating 17 the 3D (3 dimensional) energy budget of urban and natural 18 scenes, possibly with topography and atmosphere. It simu19 lates all non radiative energy mechanisms (heat conduction, 20 turbulent momentum and heat fluxes, water reservoir evo21 lution, etc.). It uses DART model (Discrete Anisotropic 22 Radiative Transfer) for simulatin...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) are the two most commonly used analytical tools in metabolomics, and their complementary nature makes the combination particularly attractive. A combined analytical approach can improve the potential for providing reliable methods to detect metabolic profile alterations in biofluids or tissues caused by disease, toxicity, ...
