We investigate the problem of automatically labelling appearances of characters in TV or film material with their names. This is tremendously challenging due to the huge variation in imaged appearance of each character and the weakness and ambiguity of available annotation. However, we demonstrate that high precision can be achieved by combining multiple sources of information, both visual and ...

Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a relatively common disorder affecting between 250 000 to 350 000 people in the US alone [1, 2]. The age of onset is typically between 20 to 40 years of age with a 2:1 predominance of females over males [2]. Although the exact etiology remains unknown, current data suggest both genetic and environmental influences [3]. The underlying pathophysiology of MS...

We evaluated the effectiveness of natural color aerial photography as a tool to improve detection, monitoring, and mapping of sulfur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta L.) infestations. Sulfur cinquefoil is an exotic perennial plant invading interior Pacific Northwest rangelands. Because sulfur cinquefoil produces distinctive pale yellow flowers, we timed aerial photography for early July, when the p...

Heroin is an illegal drug and monitoring heroin use is important in rehabilitation, pain management services, and workplace employment testing. In humans, heroin is rapidly converted to 6-acetylmorphine (6AM), which is quickly hydrolyzed to morphine. Morphine glucuronide is the major metabolite of heroin in urine (1 ). However, 6AM is a unique metabolite of heroin and is considered the definiti...

We conducted a retrospective study to compare poststapedectomy hearing gain in study-eligible patients who had received a Teflon (fluoroplastic ASTM F 754) prosthesis (study group; n = 76) with hearing gain achieved in a matched group (by age, sex, and degree of hypoacusis) of patients who had received a Schuknecht-type wire/Teflon prosthesis (control group; n = 70). All procedures had been per...

DNA polymerase III, the core of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, has been purified Z&000-fold to 97% homogeneity from Escherichiu coli HMS-83. The enzyme contains three subunits: (Y, E, and 0 of 140,000, 25,000, and 10,000 daltons, respectively. The cy subunit has been previously shown to be a component of both DNA polymerase III and the more complex DNA polymerase III holoenzyme (Livingston,...
