The genome of beet yellows virus (BYV), the type representative of the closterovirus group, encodes a homologue of the cellular heat-shock protein (HSP) 70 family. A pair of degenerate primers targeted to motifs A and E, which are highly conserved in HSP70s, was synthesized. Genomes of several definite and possible members of the closterovirus group were screened for the presence of the HSP70 g...

To make full use of computer vision technology in stores, it is required to consider the actual needs that fit characteristics retail scene. Pursuing this goal, we introduce United Retail Datasets (Unitail), a large-scale benchmark basic visual tasks on products challenges algorithms for detecting, reading, and matching. With 1.8M quadrilateral-shaped instances annotated, Unitail offers detecti...

In this paper, we introduce Carry-based Differential Power Analysis (CDPA), a novel methodology that allows for attacking schemes use arithmetical addition. We apply to HMAC-SHA-2. provide full mathematical analysis of the method and show under certain assumptions with sufficient amount traces any key can be revealed. experimental part demonstrate successful application attack both in software ...

A survey of video databases that can be used within a continuous sign language recognition scenario to measure the performance of head and hand tracking algorithms either w.r.t. a tracking error rate or w.r.t. a word error rate criterion is presented in this work. Robust tracking algorithms are required as the signing hand frequently moves in front of the face, may temporarily disappear, or cro...

A monoclonal antibody (Mab J1-31) has been produced by using human brain homogenate as immunogen in mouse. Double-label immunofluorescence microscopy on cryostat sections of human, rabbit and rat brain, reveals staining of cells that are also stained with antiserum to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, a commonly used marker protein for astrocytes). However, there is no decrease in staining...

In this paper we introduce positive mean value coordinates (PMVC) for mesh deformation. Following the observations of Joshi et al. [JMD∗07] we show the advantage of having positive coordinates. The control points of the deformation are the vertices of a "cage" enclosing the deformed mesh. To define positive mean value coordinates for a given vertex, the visible portion of the cage is integrated...

This article discusses metaphor annotation in a corpus of argumentative essays written by test-takers during a standardized examination for graduate school admission. The quality of argumentation being the focus of the project, we developed a metaphor annotation protocol that targets metaphors that are relevant for the writer’s arguments. The reliability of the protocol is κ=0.58, on a set of 1...
