Sprite tracking in two-dimensional video games
I explore various computer vision techniques and their application towards processing and extracting information from two-dimensional video games. The bulk of existing research is designed to work on real-world images, and thus makes assumptions about the world that do not translate to synthetic, …

Stroke Prevention Rehabilitation Intervention Trial of Exercise (SPRITE): a randomised feasibility and pilot study: a randomised feasibility and pilot study
Introduction:<br/>The value of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or‘minor’ stroke is untested despite these conditions sharing similar pathology and risk factors to coronary heart disease.<br/><br/>Aims:<br/>To develop and test the feasibility of conducting a …

Multiple Bounding Boxes Algorithm in Collision Detection and Its Performances in Sequential VS CUDA Parallel Processing
… game uses a axisaligned bounding box around each sprite, and checks to determine if the bounding boxes overlap periodically. Using this single bounding box method may result in a large amount of pixel intersection tests, since a sprite may be composed of areas where the pixels are empty and the …

Cultivar, row spacing, and soil moisture effects on snap bean yield and morphological response to TIBA applications at early bloom
… with the cultural variables of cultivar ('Sprite' and 'Dark-Seeded Provider') and row spacing (single and double rows) but not with the chemical treatment. Low soil moisture at the time of TIBA application was suspected of interfering with absorption and action of the chemical. In the …

Crafting Iron and Other Stories
… in magical realism when her childhood woodland sprite appears and accuses her of abandonment; and a young lady attempts to find her identity in a local Renaissance festival with an artisan blacksmith. A college girl helps a socially awkward, intellectually brilliant roommate and learns the …

Centimeter-Scale Spacecraft: Design, Fabrication, And Deployment
… dissertation documents the development of the Sprite centimeter-scale spacecraft, along with the associated hardware and software necessary for its deployment in low-Earth orbit and communication with ground stations. In addition, new solutions to several general spacecraft dynamics, control, …

Speaking on the record
… to writing in a spoken modality: speak + write = sprite. Spriting in its general form is the activity of speaking 'on the record' that yields a technologically-supported representation of oral speech with essential properties of writing such as permanence of record, possibilities of editing, …

Flavor chemistry of lemon-lime carbonated beverages
The most potent aroma-active components of Sprite® (SP), Sierra Mist® (SM), and 7UP® (7UP) were identified. Aroma extracts were prepared by liquid-liquid continuous extraction/solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (LLCE/SAFE). Twenty eight compounds were detected by gas chromatography-olfactometry …

Multi-wavelength observations of sprites over southern Africa
Sprites are short-lived, optical upper atmospheric lightning-induced phenomena that occur above an active thunderstorm, at an altitude range of 40 - 85 km. They are often described as electrical discharges in the mesosphere, following mostly large positive cloud-to-ground lightning discharges. …

Genomic and microscopic dissection of nuclear compartmentalization and function
… nucleus, respectively. Newer genomic methods (SPRITE, GAM) suggest multi-way interactions occurring more frequently in the nuclear interior, specifically at nucleoli and nuclear speckles. But it is still elusive how such nuclear compartments (bodies) are involved in genome organization. Nuclear …
