Single-Object-Based Region Growth: Key Area Localization Model for Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification by Feiyang Li, Jiangtao Wang, Mingyang Wang, Ziyang Wang

“…Remote sensing image scene classification is a challenging task due to the large differences within the same classes and a large number of similar scenes among different classes. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a single-object-based region growth algorithm to effectively localize the most key area in the whole image, so as to generate more discriminative local fine-grained features for the image scene. …”

On the oppositions that underlie the distinctions displayed by Russian causal clauses by Pekelis Olga

“…I explore two approaches that have been proposed to account for such contrasts: the coordination-subordination approach and the approach assuming that causal clauses represent different classes of adverbial clauses that differ in their degree of syntactic integration with the host clause. …”

The PPAR Ω Pocket: Renewed Opportunities for Drug Development by Åsmund Kaupang, Trond Vidar Hansen

“…The past decade of PPARγ research has dramatically improved our understanding of the structural and mechanistic bases for the diverging physiological effects of different classes of PPARγ ligands. The discoveries that lie at the heart of these developments have enabled the design of a new class of PPARγ ligands, capable of isolating central therapeutic effects of PPARγ modulation, while displaying markedly lower toxicities than previous generations of PPARγ ligands. …”

Block-Wise Two-Dimensional Maximum Margin Criterion for Face Recognition by Xiao-Zhang Liu, Guan Yang

“…The proposed method, namely, block-wise two-dimensional maximum margin criterion (B2D-MMC), aims to find local subspace projections using unilateral matrix multiplication in each block set, such that in the subspace a block is close to those belonging to the same class but far from those belonging to different classes. B2D-MMC avoids iterations and alternations as in current bilateral projection based two-dimensional feature extraction techniques by seeking a closed form solution of one-side projection matrix for each block set. …”
