A prolific nucleator program n studies of Drosophila cells, aurora-A kinase and centrosomin (CNN) are sometimes used as markers for centrosomes, but, other than their localization, relatively little is known about these proteins. On page 757, Terada et al. show that aurora-A and CNN must physically interact to be translocated to the centro-some, and, once there, CNN acts as a powerful microtubu...

Description: Statistical approaches to early vision processes need a huge amount of computing power. These algorithms can usually be implemented on parallel computing structures. With the Cellular Neural Networks [9] (CNN), a new image processing tool is coming into consideration. Its VLSI implementation takes place on a single analog chip containing several thousands (recently about 10,000 to ...

In this work we propose a method for computing a minimum size training set consistent subset for the Nearest Neighbor rule (also said CNN problem) via SAT encodings. We introduce the SAT–CNN algorithm, which exploits a suitable encoding of the CNN problem in a sequence of SAT problems in order to exactly solve it, provided that enough computational resources are available. Comparison of SAT–CNN...

Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown their promise as a universal representation for recognition. However, global CNN activations lack geometric invariance, which limits their robustness for classification and matching of highly variable scenes. To improve the invariance of CNN activations without degrading their discriminative power, this paper presents a simple but effective sc...

Smoking during pregnancy exposes the fetus to nicotine, resulting in nicotine-stimulated neurotransmitter release. Recent evidence suggests that the hippocampus develops differently in males and females with delayed maturation in males. We show that chronic nicotine exposure during the first postnatal week has sex-specific long-term effects. Neonatal rat pups were chronically treated with nicot...

The automated building detection in aerial images is a fundamental problem encountered in aerial and satellite images analysis. Recently, thanks to the advances in feature descriptions, Region-based CNN model (R-CNN) for object detection is receiving an increasing attention. Despite the excellent performance in object detection, it is problematic to directly leverage the features of R-CNN model...
