TL;DR: A boosting-based strong classifier for robust visual tracking using a discriminative appearance model and a structural reconstruction error based weight computation method are proposed to adjust the classification score of each candidate for more precise tracking results.
Abstract: Sparse coding methods have achieved great success in visual tracking, and we present a strong classifier and structural local sparse descriptors for robust visual tracking. Since the summary features considering the sparse codes are sensitive to occlusion and other interfering factors, we extract local sparse descriptors from a fraction of all patches by performing a pooling operation. The collection of local sparse descriptors is combined into a boosting-based strong classifier for robust visual tracking using a discriminative appearance model. Furthermore, a structural reconstruction error based weight computation method is proposed to adjust the classification score of each candidate for more precise tracking results. To handle appearance changes during tracking, we present an occlusion-aware template update scheme. Comprehensive experimental comparisons with the state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrated the better performance of the proposed method.

TL;DR: The authors discuss the issue of naming uncultivated prokaryotic microorganisms, which currently do not have a formal nomenclature system due to a lack of type material or cultured representatives, and propose two recommendations including the recognition of DNA sequences as type material.
Abstract: The assembly of single-amplified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has led to a surge in genome-based discoveries of members affiliated with Archaea and Bacteria, bringing with it a need to develop guidelines for nomenclature of uncultivated microorganisms. The International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) only recognizes cultures as ‘type material’, thereby preventing the naming of uncultivated organisms. In this Consensus Statement, we propose two potential paths to solve this nomenclatural conundrum. One option is the adoption of previously proposed modifications to the ICNP to recognize DNA sequences as acceptable type material; the other option creates a nomenclatural code for uncultivated Archaea and Bacteria that could eventually be merged with the ICNP in the future. Regardless of the path taken, we believe that action is needed now within the scientific community to develop consistent rules for nomenclature of uncultivated taxa in order to provide clarity and stability, and to effectively communicate microbial diversity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the data envelopment analysis (DEA) double bootstrap approach to assess the technical efficiency standing of Australian hotels, and found that the key determinants of technical efficiency are the number of years in business, location, star rating and physical size.
Abstract: This study uses the data envelopment analysis (DEA) double bootstrap approach to assess the technical efficiency standing of Australian hotels. Two inputs and six outputs were used in the analyses for the period 2004–2007. The empirical results indicate that the DEA bootstrap approach corrects for the bias inherent in traditional DEA models. The results show that the average technical efficiency of Australian hotels has improved gradually from 76.17% in 2004 to reach its highest level of 80.84% in 2007. The results also indicate that the key determinants of the technical efficiency of Australian hotels are the number of years in business, location, star rating and physical size. The implications of the results are discussed.

TL;DR: It is shown that VapC20 of M. tuberculosis inhibits translation by cleavage of the SARCin-Ricin loop of 23S ribosomal RNA at the same position where Sarcin and other eukaryotic ribotoxins cleave.
Abstract: Toxin–antitoxin systems have been implicated in the pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, the authors study the function of the M. tuberculosis toxin VapC20 and show that it can impair protein translation and inhibit bacterial growth by cleaving the Sarcin–Ricin loop of 23S rRNA
