Unconstrained hand detection in still images plays an important role in many hand-related vision problems, for example, hand tracking, gesture analysis, human action recognition and human-machine interaction, and sign language recognition.Although hand detection has been extensively studied for decades, it is still a challenging task with many prob

Due to awareness to greener environment, use of recycled asphalt material has become popular in asphalt pavement industry.The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in subgrade soil can be an additional scope of utilizing RAP.This study investigates the effect of RAP on the resilient modulus (MR) of subgrade soils mixed with RAP materials

ABSTRACT Current seasonal influenza virus vaccines engender antibody-mediated protection that is hemagglutinin (HA) subtype specific and relatively short-lived.Coverage for other subtypes or even variants within a subtype could be improved from a better understanding of the factors that promote HA-specific antibody cross-reactivity.Current assays t

Previous studies investigating altruistic punishment have confounded the effects of two independent variables: information transmission (or breach of privacy) and personal identification (or breach of anonymity).Here we report findings from a brief study in which Dry Bag participants were asked to respond to a social norm violation (i.e., an anonym

Agrobacterium tumefaciens can cause crown gall tumors by transferring both an SAMOURAI SMOOTHIE CUBES oncogenic piece of DNA (T-DNA) and several effector proteins into a wide range of host plants.For the translocated effector VirE3 multiple functions have been reported.It acts as a transcription factor in the nucleus binding to the Arabidopsis thal
