Object classification is a fundamental step in automatic video-surveillance that allows improved tracking and a more accurate description of events. However, as real-world applications need a real-time, flexible, easy and quick to configure solution, the design of a practical object classification algorithm becomes a challenge. This paper analyses advantages and disadvantages of different frame...

The acid-mediation hypothesis, that is, the hypothesis that acid produced by tumours, as a result of aerobic glycolysis, provides a mechanism for invasion, has so far been considered as a relatively closed system. The focus has mainly been on the dynamics of the tumour, normaltissue, acid and possibly some other bodily components, without considering the effect of an external intervention such ...

hepatitis delta virus (hdv) is a degenerate rna virus or virusoid and a satellite of hepatitis b virus (hbv). three distinct genotypes are described for hdv; genotype i is distributed worldwide but other genotypes appear to be more restricted geographically. in the present study, an rt-nested pcr method was set up to detect delta infection from serum samples. moreover, the target amplified sequ...

R. P. Stanley proved the Upper Bound Conjecture in 1975. We imitate his proof for the Ehrhart rings. We give some upper bounds for the volume of integrally closed lattice polytopes. We derive some inequalities for the delta-vector of integrally closed lattice polytopes. Finally we apply our results for reflexive integrally closed and order polytopes.
