A theory of zeugma by Yeo, Jia Qi

“…I then identify basic structures for the three subtypes of nominal, verbal and adjectival zeugma, and consolidate several disparate concepts previously mentioned in relation to zeugma, including homonymy, regular and irregular polysemy, and Segmented Discourse Representation Theory. I also consider the siting of elegant zeugma within its surrounding written discourse as a crucial complement to the usual approach of analysing word relations within the utterance. …”

Real-time human detection for surveillance applications by Hoe, Qi Xiang

“…The overall accuracy has improved with the enhancement of using additional feature of magnitude inclusive for the HOG computation and further enhanced with the aid of additional features of magnitude inclusive and limitation of magnitude for the HOG computation. Furthermore, segmentation has been performed on the head and body of the human figure for the purpose of system integration with the biometrics’ description. …”

Cats and dogs by Parkhi, OM, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A, lawahar, CV

“…Fitting the model involves automatically segmenting the animal in the image. Second, we compare two classification approaches: a hierarchical one, in which a pet is first assigned to the cat or dog family and then to a breed, and a flat one, in which the breed is obtained directly. …”

Automated location matching in movies by Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…The local spatial support of the features means that segmentation of the frame (e.g., into foreground/background) is not required, and partial occlusion is tolerated. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”
