Temporally Deformable Convolution for Gait Recognition by Juyoung Kim, Beomseong Kim, Heesung Lee

“…This allows for a more flexible understanding of temporal patterns, eliminating the need for hand-crafted design of filters for extracting temporal features and enabling the model to learn important features for gait recognition that appear in both short and long time intervals in a unified manner. As a result, the proposed model achieved state-of-the-art performance on the CASIA-B dataset.…”

A Modified Method for Studying Behavioral Paradox of Antioxidants and Their Disproportionate Competitive Kinetic Effect to Scavenge the Peroxyl Radical Formation by Nusrat Masood, Kaneez Fatima, Suaib Luqman

“…We are reporting hydrophilic and lipophilic as well as natural and synthetic forms of antioxidants revealing a diversified behaviour to peroxyl radical in a dose-dependent manner (1 nM–10 μM). A simple kinetic model for the competitive oxidation of an indicator molecule (ABTS) and a various antioxidant by a radical (ROO•) is described. …”
