To use or not to use the force: How B lymphocytes extract surface-tethered antigens

Using an exquisite cell imaging approach based on DNA nanosensors, Spillane and Tolar (2016. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201607064) explore how the physical properties of antigen-presenting cell surfaces affect how B cells internalize surface-tethered antigens. Soft and flexible surfaces promote mechanical force-mediated antigen extraction, whereas stiff surfaces lead to enzyme-me...

Analytical Features to Extract Harmonic or Rhythmic Information

This work aims to evaluate the effectiveness of EDS as a tool to automatically extract descriptors for real-world problems, such as melody extraction, chord recognition, and sound classification, comparing its performance and development time to traditional approaches. Each of these problems constitutes a case study, and along with the comparative results we present some remarks about the descr...

Learning to Extract Folktale Keywords

Manually assigned keywords provide a valuable means for accessing large document collections. They can serve as a shallow document summary and enable more efficient retrieval and aggregation of information. In this paper we investigate keywords in the context of the Dutch Folktale Database, a large collection of stories including fairy tales, jokes and urban legends. We carry out a quantitative...

Learning to extract form labels

In this paper we describe a new approach to extract element labels from Web form interfaces. Having these labels is a requirement for several techniques that attempt to retrieve and integrate information that is hidden behind form interfaces, such as hidden Web crawlers and metasearchers. However, given the wide variation in form layout, even within a well-defined domain, automatically extracti...
