A regulatory SNP causes a human genetic disease by creating a new transcriptional promoter by De Gobbi, M, Viprakasit, V, Hughes, JR, Fisher, C, Buckle, V, Ayyub, H, Gibbons, RJ, Vernimmen, D, Yoshinaga, Y, de Jong, P, Cheng, J-F, Rubin, EM, Wood, Wg, Bowden, D, Higgs, DR

“…The rSNP creates a new promoterlike element that interferes with normal activation of all downstream α-like globin genes. Thus, our work illustrates a strategy for distinguishing between neutral and functionally important rSNPs, and it also identifies a pathogenetic mechanism that could potentially underlie other genetic diseases.…”

Strike a pose: tracking people by finding stylized poses by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…Our basic assumption is that people tend to take on certain canonical poses, even when performing unusual activities like throwing a baseball or figure skating. We build a person detector that quite accurately detects and localizes limbs of people in lateral walking poses. …”

Lost in quantization: improving particular object retrieval in large scale image databases by Philbin, J, Chum, O, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…Our results exceed the current state of the art retrieval performance on these datasets, particularly on queries with poor initial recall where techniques like query expansion suffer. Overall we show that soft-assignment is always beneficial for retrieval with large vocabularies, at a cost of increased storage requirements for the index.…”

Ant, spider and DNA: letting mindless generative mechanisms speak by Bråten, E

“…ANT and SPIDER share a blindness with respect to invisible beings like itself, DNA argues. Their privileging of spatiotemporal immediacy entails a one-dimensional (flat) ontology that tends to push mindless generative mechanisms out of view. …”

Baturaja inscription: a threats to Miańga by Andhifani, Wahyu Rizky, Tedjowasono, Ninny Susanti

“…This inscription, if seen from its paleographic form, most likely originates from around the VII century, like the early inscriptions of the Sriwijaya Kingdom, namely: the Kedukan Bukit inscription, the Talang Tuwo inscription, the Telaga Batu inscription, the Kota Kapur inscription, the Karang Brahi inscription, the Palas Pasemah inscription, and some the short Siddhayatra inscription. …”
