Over the years a number of powerful people detectors have been proposed. While it is standard to test complete detectors on publicly available datasets, it is often unclear how the di erent components (e.g. features and classi ers) of the respective detectors compare. Therefore, this paper contributes a systematic comparison of the most prominent and successful people detectors. Based on this e...

In this paper we give a new approach to the concepts of glyph and character, applied to the study of the Unicode encoding. After a thorough discussion of these two concepts, we describe the other fundamental ingredients of the encoding: privileged glyphs, character descriptions, combining characters, and properties. In each case we try to show the importance of the given notion and at the same ...

Most of studies on the video communications are based on an unproved hypothesis: They take it granted that the full-face images of communicators are the 'sine qua non' in video conversations, and profiles are rather confusing or annoying for them. This paper proves the counter hypothesis that profile images are also useful and they can replace the full-faces under some conditions. Psychological...

Described is a module for the placement of items either on the same horizontal line or on top of each other. Alignment and separation of the items can be varied in horizontal and vertical direction as required. Titles can be added and their location, style and color speci ied.

We carried out a randomized controlled trial in Bogotá, the recipient of Colombia's highest number of internally displaced people (IDP), to assess whether the use of SMS to communicate eligibility to social benefits fosters the welfare of victimized internal refugees. Only a fraction of IDP are eligible to benefits. We inform eligibility via SMS to a random half of such households, and estimate...

We report on two classes of autoequivalences of the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a finite group, or, equivalently the Drinfeld center of the category of representations of a finite group. Both operations are related to the r-th power operation, with r relatively prime to the exponent of the group. One is defined more generally for the group-theoretical fusion category defined by a f...

Counter automata are more powerful versions of finitestate automata where addition and subtraction operations are permitted on a set of n integer registers, called counters. We show that the word problem of Zn is accepted by a nondeterministic m-counter automaton if and only if m ≥ n.
