We give a dynamic programming solution to the problem of scheduling scenes to minimize the cost of the talent. Starting from a basic dynamic program, we show a number of ways to improve the dynamic programming solution, by preprocessing and restricting the search. We show how by considering a bounded version of the problem, and determining lower and upper bounds, we can improve the search. We t...

Methylation of histones mediates transcriptional silencing at heterochromatin sites and affects regulated transcription at euchromatic loci. So is the methyl group a permanent mark on histones, or can it be removed by an active process necessary for regulated gene expression?

This report presents the results of a partial differential equation (PDE)-based image enhancement algorithm, for dynamic range compression and illumination correction in the absence of the logarithmic function. The proposed algorithm combines forward and reverse flows in a PDE-based formulation. The experimental results are compared with algorithms from the literature and indicate comparable pe...

Face recognition has been a central topic in computer vision for at least two decades and progress in recent years has been significant. Automated face recognition systems are now widespread in applications ranging from surveillance to personal computers. In contrast, only a handful of neurobiologically plausible computational models have been proposed to try to explain the processing of faces ...
