This paper develops a framework for geolocating ground-based moving targets with images taken from dual unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Unlike the usual moving-target geolocation methods that rely heavily on accurate navigation state sensors or assumptions of known target’s altitude, proposed does not have same limitations and performs utilizing UAVs equipped low-quality sensors. Considering G...

The number of drugs targeted may have an important influence on the ability of drug abusers to abstain during motivational incentive procedures. The authors investigated outcomes in methadone maintenance patients (n = 58), who had evidence of both opiate and cocaine use, when continuous abstinence from cocaine only (single target) or from both cocaine and heroin (dual target) was required to ea...

microRNA (miRNA) mediated repression of target genes plays essential roles in a variety of functions in plants. An easy-to-use method that can effectively validate functional miRNA-target interactions in plants thus is of particular interest. Here, we describe an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated in vivo assay utilizing a dual-luciferase reporter system. With this method, the strength of miRNA...

With the rapid development of marine business, intelligent detection ship targets has become key to safety. However, it is difficult accurately detect maritime infrared due severe sea clutter interference in strong wind waves or dim scenes. To adapt diverse environments, a dual-mode background model proposed for target detection. According global contrast image, scene divided into surface with ...
