A measure of motion salience is proposed for surveillance applications. In this context, salient motion is taken as motion that is likely to result from a typical surveillance target (e.g., a person or vehicle traveling with a sense of direction through a scene) as opposed to other distracting motions (e.g., the scintil-lation of specularities on water, the oscillation of trees in the wind). Th...

Parallelism and distribution have been considered the key features of neural processing. The term parallel distributed processing is even used as a synonym for ar-tiicial neural networks. Nevertheless, the actual implementations are still in search of the appropriate model to "naturally represent" neural computing. And the-nal judgement is always given in performance gures { keeping the paralle...

There are several excellent alternatives to warfarin on the horizon for atrial fibril-lation. Results from the trials, as well as pharmacokinetic data from the edoxaban studies, suggest that dose selection, based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, is a critical component in the development of novel anticoagulants. Greater flexibility in dosing with edoxaban and the opportunity f...

Although overall death rates from the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are declining rapidly, the incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in women continues to climb, and HIV-associated gynecologic disease is also likely toincrease over the next decade. In this paper on lower genital tract neoplasia in women with HIV infection, Abercrombie and Korn review some of the many stud...

We report on recent insights into the interaction between ultra-fast laser pulses and plasmonic nanoparticles . We discuss femtosecond near-field ab lation as a simple but versatile too l for the nanoscale modification of surFaces and the high-resolution measurement of a nanostructure's near fi e ld . Two model systems are presented, illustrating the comp\t:Xily of near-field distributions. Fur...

Several attempts have been made to reduce the impact of estimation errors on the optimal portfolio composition. On the one hand, improved estimators of the necessary moments have been developed and on the other hand, heuristic methods have been generated to enhance the portfolio performance, for instance the "resampled efficiency" of Michaud (1998). We compare the out-ofsample performance of tr...

Features for a new application in pattern recognition are presented. The objects to be classiied are coccoliths (marine microfos-sils). Since the objects diier both in their outline and in their internal structure the features developed take into consideration both kinds of variability. The features concerning the internal structure are computed on the grey-value images produced by a scanning e...
