Object Detection and Classification Framework for Analysis of Video Data Acquired from Indian Roads.

Object detection and classification in autonomous vehicles are crucial for ensuring safe and efficient navigation through complex environments. This paper addresses the need for robust detection and classification algorithms tailored specifically for Indian roads, which present unique challenges such as diverse traffic patterns, erratic driving behaviors, and varied weather conditions. Despite significant progress in object detection and classification for autonomous vehicles, existing methods often struggle to generalize effectively to the conditions encountered on Indian roads.

Novel N-hydroxybenzamides incorporating 2-oxoindoline with unexpected potent histone deacetylase inhibitory effects and antitumor cytotoxicity.

In our search for novel small molecules targeting histone deacetylases, we have designed and synthesized two series of novel N-hydroxybenzamides incorporating 2-oxoindolines (4a-g, 6a-g). Biological evaluation showed that these benzamides potently inhibited HDAC2 with IC values in sub-micromolar range. In three human cancer cell lines the synthesized compounds were up to 4-fold more cytotoxic than SAHA.

Trajectory interpretation by supplementary eye field neurons during ocular baseball.

Good performance in the sport of baseball shows that humans can determine the trajectory of a moving object and act on it under the constraint of a rule. We report here on neuronal activity in the supplementary eye field (SEF) of monkeys performing an eye movement task inspired by baseball. In "ocular baseball," a pursuit eye movement to a target is executed or withheld based on the target's trajectory.

Conditions under which stereopsis and motion perception are blind.

We describe modified random-dot stereograms in which the corresponding elements differ from non-corresponding elements in colour, size, and luminance. Despite these visible differences between the elements, depth perception collapses when the spatially integrated luminous flux is similar for the corresponding and non-corresponding elements. Our results suggest that a low-pass spatial filter precedes the mechanism that recognises disparity.
