Partly cooked canned hams and dried pepperoni and salami sausages were prepared from the carcasses of pigs infected with African swine fever virus and pigs infected with hog cholera virus. Virus was not recovered from the partly cooked canned hams; however, virus was recovered in the hams before heating in both instances. Both African swine fever virus and hog cholera virus were recovered from ...

In this paper we propose a human detection framework based on an enhanced version of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features. These feature descriptors are computed with the help of a precalculated histogram of square-blocks. This novel method outperforms the integral of oriented histograms allowing the calculation of a single feature four times faster. Using Adaboost for HOG feature sel...

Horzinek, Marian (Tierärztliche Hochschule, Hannover, West Germany). Characterization of hog cholera virus. I. Determination of buoyant density. J. Bacteriol. 92:1723-1726. 1966.-Hog cholera virus was subjected to cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. Most of the infectious activity was detected in fractions with densities between 1.15 and 1.20 g/ml, with a peak at 1.16 g/ml. Infecti...

The fucose-binding lectins from Lotus tetragonolobus have been purified (1-3), characterized, and shown to be specific for oligosaccharides containing fucosyl residues on C-2 of DGalfll--~4DGlcNAc I (type 2 chains) but not for DGalfll-->3DGlcNAc (type 1 chains) similarly substituted (3, 4). In addition, the Lo~us lectin precipitated with H, A2 and Le a, but failed to interact with A1 or B blood...

Crayfish (Orconectes spp.), Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea), northern hog sucker (hog sucker; Hypentelium nigricans), and smallmouth bass (smallmouth; Micropterus dolomieu) from streams in southeastern Missouri (USA) were analyzed for total mercury (HgT) and for stable isotopes of carbon (δ¹³C), nitrogen (δ¹⁵N), and sulfur (δ³⁴S) to discern Hg transfer pathways. HgT concentrations were generall...

Open face recognition provides an uncertain challenge to criminal identification. Thus, this has many uses, from security entertainment. Even if other biometric characteristics like iris and fingerprints are reliable, a person must be present use them. Therefore, there better tools for thieves authentication. Anyone can recognize in image using technology conjunction with database containing th...

Pedestrian detection is one of the key problems in emerging selfdriving car industry. And HOG algorithm has proven to provide good accuracy for pedestrian detection. There are plenty of research works have been done in accelerating HOG algorithm on FPGA because of its low-power and high-throughput characteristics. In this paper, we present a high-performance HOG architecture for pedestrian dete...

This paper presents several novel Gabor-based color descriptors for object and scene image classification. Firstly, a new Gabor-HOG descriptor is proposed for image feature extraction. Secondly, the Gabor-LBP descriptor derived by concatenating the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) histograms of all the component images produced by applying Gabor filters is integrated with the Gabor-HOG using an opti...

Linear Support Vector Machines trained on HOG features are now a de facto standard across many visual perception tasks. Their popularisation can largely be attributed to the step-change in performance they brought to pedestrian detection, and their subsequent successes in deformable parts models. This paper explores the interactions that make the HOG-SVM symbiosis perform so well. By connecting...

The fluorescent antibody technique was adapted to the localization of native protein antigens in cells and tissues. This method was applied specifically to the localization of adrenocorticotropic hormone in the pituitary gland. An antiserum to hog ACTH was produced in an adrenalectomized rabbit. The gamma(2)-globulin fraction of the serum was conjugated with fluorescein. After purification, the...
