Exact Acceleration of Linear Object Detectors

We describe a general and exact method to considerably speed up linear object detection systems operating in a sliding, multi-scale window fashion, such as the individual part detectors of part-based models. The main bottleneck of many of those systems is ...

A unified approach to orbital, solar, and lunar forcing based on the Earth's latitudinal insolation/temperature gradient

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis

Widespread empirical evidence suggests that extraterrestrial forcing influences the Earth's climate, but how this could occur remains unclear. Here we describe a new approach to this problem that unifies orbital, solar and lunar forcing based on their comm ...

Rational vector design and multi-pathway modulation of HEK 293E cells yield recombinant antibody titers exceeding 1 g/l by transient transfection under serum-free conditions

Florian Maria Wurm, Gaurav Backliwal, Sébastien Chenuet, Sarah Wulhfard

Transient transfection allows for fast production of recombinant proteins. However, the current bottlenecks in transient transfection are low titers and low specific productivity compared to stable cell lines. Here, we report an improved transient transfec ...

Wireless Network Secrecy with Public Feedback

Emre Telatar, Suhas Diggavi, Etienne Perron

In this paper we consider secret communication between two special nodes ("source" and "destination") in a wireless network with authenticated relays: the message communicated to the destination is to be kept information-theoretically (unconditionally) sec ...

An Analysis of Database System Performance on Chip Multiprocessors

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi, Frederick Ryan Johnson, Ippokratis Pandis

Prior research shows that database system performance is dominated by off-chip data stalls, resulting in a concerted effort to bring data into on-chip caches. At the same time, high levels of integration have enabled the advent of chip multiprocessors and ...

The affinity precipitation for the isolation of biomolecules

Product isolation increasingly becomes a major bottleneck in molecular biotechnology. This is especially the case for the sensitive proteineous substances (recombinant proteins, antibodies) and lately also DNA, usually produced in low concentration. The cu ...

Using Highly Discriminative Keys for Indexing in a Peer-to-Peer Full-Text Retrieval System

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Fabius Klemm

Excessive network bandwidth consumption, caused by the transmission of long posting lists, was identified as one of the major bottlenecks for implementing distributed full-text retrieval in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture. To address this problem we intr ...

Performance Driven Reliable Link Design for Networks on Chips

Giovanni De Micheli, Srinivasan Murali

With decreasing feature size of transistors, the interconnect wire delay is becoming a major bottleneck in current Systems on Chips (SoCs). Another effect of shrinking feature size is that the wires are becoming unrealable as they are increasingly suscepti ...

Indirect and Mixed Direct-Indirect Heat Integration of Batch Processes Based on Pinch Analysis

Daniel Favrat, Pierre Krummenacher

This paper introduces a methodology for the heat integration of industrial batch processes. Based on Pinch Analysis principles, this methodology resorts to intermediate heat storage to prevent adverse effects on the operating flexibility. A systematic proc ...
