We introduce a novel technique for summarizing a short video to a single image, by augmenting the last frame of the video with comic-like lines behind moving objects (speedlines), with the goal of conveying their motion. Compared to existing literature, our approach is novel as we do not attempt to track moving objects nor to attain any high-level understanding of the scene: our technique is th...

It notes that such disagreements can be found not only between academics in traditional text-dominated disciplines, but also between academics in non-textual subjects such as architecture. The paper does not focus on the nature of these disagreements but instead proposes a framework for explaining the cau...

Sorting it out

The AP-2 adaptor complex is widely viewed as a linchpin molecule in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, simultaneously binding both clathrin and receptors. This dual interaction couples cargo capture with clathrin coat assembly, but it has now been discovered that the association with cargo is tightly regulated. Remarkably, AP-2 is not obligatory for all clathrin-mediated uptake, and several alterna...
