title: The DLA-RMR dataset: Annotated subset of RMR notebooks for CVC development

description: What’s new in this version: The dataset now contains 100 fully annotated images instead of only 50.<br>
<br>
This dataset is structured into four components, each serving a distinct role in the development of a document analysis system. 


 
 <strong>Word-level annotations</strong> are provided in the file <code>word_annotations_for_cropped_images.json</code>. These annotations describe the images contained in the <code>cropped_images</code> folder. Each entry specifies the location of a word as a polygon, together with its orientation (horizontal, vertical, or tilted) and the type of writing implement used (ink or pencil). Additional metadata, such as bounding boxes and segmentation areas, is also included.
 
 
 <strong>Cropped images</strong> are stored in the <code>cropped_images</code> folder. This set comprises 50 images, each containing only the primary page extracted from the corresponding full notebook scans.
 
 
 <strong>Full images</strong> are located in the <code>full_images</code> folder. This collection also contains 50 items, representing the complete notebook scans in which the primary page appears alongside other material.
 
 
 <strong>Page-level annotations</strong> are contained in the <code>page_annotations</code> folder. These are provided in YOLO format, with a single class (<code>page</code>) defined in <code>classes.txt</code>. Each annotation file specifies the bounding box of the primary page within the corresponding image in the <code>full_images</code> folder.
 


Examples illustrate the annotation structure. In the JSON file, a typical word annotation records polygon coordinates, the attribute <code>"orientation": "horizontal"</code>, and <code>"writing_tool": "pencil"</code>. In the YOLO annotations, a sample entry such as <code>0 0.499023 0.500776 0.777344 0.816912</code> denotes the normalised coordinates of the primary page bounding box.

title: InscriptiFact -- an image database of inscriptions and artifacts

description: The InscriptiFact Collection is designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, primarily from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean Worlds. The targeted inscriptions constitute some of the world’s earliest written records, which are mostly housed in a number of international museums and libraries, as well as field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included, for example, are, selected Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, Persia, Canaan and Egypt; early Jewish papyri from Egypt; lapidary inscriptions, primarily from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., ostraca, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles) mostly written in early Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite; and much more. These ancient texts are foundational documents that serve as a point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged. The name "InscriptiFact" is intended to convey the concept of a scholarly archive based on "facts" about "inscriptions" and "artifacts." West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) under the auspices of the University of Southern California (USC) is broadly acknowledged as a leader in the application of photographic and digital technologies to capture and analyze data of ancient texts. The West Semitic Research image archive now contains approximately 1,500,000 images. Important!

title: Modulation of virus-microtubule interaction as a tool for novel antiviral therapy.

description: Microtubules (MT) are essential cell filaments that function as roads are hollow cylinders. Nucleotide binding and the GTPase activity are the true fuel of this cellular machine, allowing their grow and shrinking. Remarkably, a wide-range of small molecules (known as microtubule-targeting agents, MTAs) contribute to the pharmacological modulation of tubulin, and some have been developed as drugs for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases and as anti-helminthics.
MTs are key players during virus infection, being essential for the entry, egression and, trafficking to and from the virus replication site. The virus abuse of this host machinery is often mediated by motor proteins, or by MT plus-end tracking proteins. But increasing data are pointing toward direct protein-protein interaction between certain viral proteins and tubulin, which implies the modulation of these filaments by the virus on desire. However, there is a gap of knowledge between the origin (underlying mechanism of direct protein-protein interaction) and the consequence (cellular effect of hijacking the microtubular network by a viral protein) that is crucial to override for development of specific therapeutic strategies for viral infection diseases. We depart from the hypothesis that viral proteins exploit the MT network mimicking the regulatory Microtubule Associated proteins (MAPs) to control the intracellular transport and ensure the correct distribution of the viral factories within the host cell, to develop a new research line focused on understanding the regulation of MTs by viral proteins and how is this compared to known mechanisms driven by MAPs.
We plan to employ macromolecular crystallography (MX) and fiber diffraction (FD) at ALBA to unveil the mechanism involved MTs-viral structural proteins interaction and the effect on MTAs on it.
