Different language versions of Wikipedia contain articles referencing the same place. However, an article in one language does not necessarily mean it is available in another language as well and linked to. This paper examines geotagged articles describing places in Honduras in both the Spanish and the English language versions. It demonstrates that a method based on simple features can reliabl...

We present promising results for real-time vehicle visual detection, obtained with adaBoost using new original “keypoints presence features”. These weak-classifiers produce a boolean response based on presence or absence in the tested image of a “keypoint” (~ a SURF interest point) with a descriptor sufficiently similar (i.e. within a given distance) to a reference descriptor characterizing the...

We present a consistent string theory model which reproduces the Standard Model, consisting of aD3-brane at a simple orbifold singularity. We study some simple features of the phenomenology of the model. We find that the scale of stringy physics must be in the multi-TeV range. There are natural hierarchies in the fermion spectrum and there are several possible experimental signatures of the mod...

Personal web usage can be defined as any voluntary act of employees using their company’s web access during office hours to surf non-work related websites for non-work purposes. Previous research suggested that personal web usage is a negative force with productivity losses, congested computer resources, security costs, and the potential risk of legal liability. However, using qualitative resea...

—The genus Strobocalyx is resurrected from the synonymy of Gymnanthemum and Vernonia, and the genus Tarlmounia is described. Both of these Asian and Malaysian genera have distinct stylar nodes, blunt stylar hairs and specialized tricolporate, echinate pollen. Strobocalyx is typified by the Asian and Indonesian S. arborea, and combinations are provided for the 6 other East Asian and Malaysian sp...
