Comparing Apples and Oranges: Fold-Change Detection of Multiple Simultaneous Inputs

Comparing Apples and Oranges: Fold-Change Detection of Multiple Simultaneous Inputs

Sensory systems often detect multiple types of inputs. For example, a receptor in a cell-signaling system often binds multiple kinds of ligands, and sensory neurons can respond to different types of stimuli. How do sensory systems compare these different kinds of signals? Here, we consider this question in a class of sensory systems - including bacterial chemotaxis- which have a property known ...

Comparing apples and oranges ...

The most comprehensive and often-cited statistic about the U.S. economy is gross domestic product (GDP), the sum of all goods and services produced in the United States. Estimates of GDP are the featured statistics in the National Income and Product Accounts, the construction of which involves the collection and aggregation of an immense amount of data. In the construction of real GDP, complica...

Carotenoids, immunity, and sexual selection: comparing apples and oranges?

Endler (1980) suggested that in a carotenoid-poor environment, carotenoid-dependent sexual ornaments indicate foraging ability, and hence, they can be used by females to gauge male quality. This idea led researchers to view female mate choice from a fresh perspective, and it gained a fair level of acceptance (Kodric-Brown 1989; Milinski and Bakker 1990; Houde and Torio 1992; Frischknecht 1993);...

Comparing Apples and Oranges: Off-Road Pedestrian Detection on the NREC Agricultural Person-Detection Dataset

Person detection from vehicles has made rapid progress recently with the advent of multiple highquality datasets of urban and highway driving, yet no large-scale benchmark is available for the same problem in off-road or agricultural environments. Here we present the NREC Agricultural Person-Detection Dataset to spur research in these environments. It consists of labeled stereo video of people ...
