The challenge of interest point detectors is to find, in an unsupervised way, keypoints easy to extract and at the same time robust to image transformations. In this paper, we present a novel set of saliency features that takes into account the region inhomogeneity in terms of intensity and shape. The region complexity is estimated at real-time by means of the entropy of the grey-level informat...

Abstract Teaching and learning of French as a foreign language in any Anglophone country such as Ghana is an extremely difficult task to undertake both on the part of the teacher and the student. This is evidenced in the general low performance of students in the subject at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) level in both public and private schools over the years. This case stud...

The aim of this study is to discuss the hypothesis according to which prosodic prominence and pragmatic salience are closely related. To do so, we focus on French clitic-left dislocated subjects, namely those constructions where the subject occupies a position in the left periphery and co-refers with a resumptive clitic pronoun within the main clause. Scholars have made the hypothesis that the ...

French hardware manufacturers were by and large incapable not only of translating technological advances into industrial products but even of understanding the new opportunities these advances offered. While true up to a point, this approach, focused on the failure of the so-called ''national champion'' policy, is incapable of explaining why French providers of IT services have had considerable...

Evidence suggests that in Iwaija, a non-Pama-Nyungan language of northern Australia, the Intonation Phrase (IP) is an integrated entity, one which is typical of a cursus language (Pulgram,1970) like French, in which words in connected speech give up some of the properties they exhibit in isolation. A salient feature of the prosody of this language is syllabification across content word boundari...

The past decade has seen a dynamic and contradictory treatment of difference in French policy-making, both nationally and locally. However, the means by which local difference orientated policies redefine the national is understudied. This article bridges this gap with a case study analysis of Marseille and Lyon to assess and typologize the ways that difference is deployed in local policy to in...

Ingroup bias is one of the most basic intergroup phenomena and has been consistently demonstrated to be increased under conditions of existential threat. In the present research the authors question the omnipresence of ingroup bias under threat and test the assumptions that these effects depend on the content of social identity and group norm salient in a situation. In the first two studies cro...
