Clinical Aspects of Chagas Disease and Implications for Novel Therapies
The interaction between the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and the human host dates back 9,000 years, as demonstrated by molecular analysis of material obtained from Andean mummies indicating the presence of the…

Targeting Nicotinic Receptors for Parkinson’s Disease Therapy
Experimental work in parkinsonian animal models suggests that nicotine in tobacco may contribute to this protection. These combined findings suggest that nicotine and nAChR drugs offer the possibility of improved…

Skeleton Search: Category-Specific Object Recognition and Segmentation Using a Skeletal Shape Model
We describe a top-down object detection and segmentation approach that uses a skeleton-based shape model and that works directly on real images.

Tracking Group Targets Using Hypergraph Matching in Data Association
This paper reformulates the traditional MTT data association problem as an hypergraph matching one between the hypergraphs formed from tracks and observations, and shows that the traditional approach which is…
