Passive monitoring of large sites typically requires coordination between multiple cameras, which in turn requires methods for automatically relating events between distributed cameras. This paper tackles the problem of self-calibration of multiple cameras which are very far apart, using feature correspondences to determine the camera geometry. The key problem is finding such correspondences. S...

Background: It is widely acknowledged that Donald Munro in the United States (1936) and Ludwig Guttmann in the United Kingdom (1944) are the founders of the modern treatment of spinal injuries. However, Germany was the birthplace of neuropathology and led the field in neurology and psychiatry. The first effective spinal injury units were established by Wilhelm Wagner in Königshütte, Silesia and...

BACKGROUND The study investigated whether passive splinting or active motor training as either individualized best conventional therapy or as standardized impairment-oriented training (IOT) would be superior in promoting motor recovery in subacute stroke patients with mildly or severely paretic arms. METHODS A total of 148 anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients were randomly assigned t...

Radar Signal Processing algorithms place strong real-time performance demands on computer architectures. These algorithms do however have an inherent data-parallelism that allows for great performance on massively parallel architectures, such as the Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs). Recently, using GPUs for other than graphics processing has become a possibility through the CUDA and OpenCL (Open...

We present a short proof of the Berge–Tutte Formula and the Gallai–Edmonds Structure Theorem from Hall’s Theorem. The fundamental theorems on matchings in graphs have been proved in many ways. The most famous of these results is Hall’s Theorem [6], characterizing when a bipartite graph has a matching that covers one partite set. Anderson [1] used Hall’s Theorem to prove Tutte’s 1Factor Theorem ...

News media often engage in strategy framing when covering politics, including strategic press and publicity coverage coined to express the focus on the media’s role in the game of politics, as well as politicians’ calculated publicity and public relations efforts in relation to the media. This study examines the effect of strategic press and publicity coverage on perceptions of political PR onc...
