Abstract:

Visual codes play an important role in automatic identification, which became an inseparable part of industrial processes. Thanks to the revolution of smartphones and telecommunication, it also becomes more and more popular in everyday life, containing embedded web addresses or other small informative texts. While barcode reading is straightforward in images having optimal parameters (focus, illumination, code orientation, and position), localization of code regions is still challenging in many scenarios. Every setup has its own characteristics, therefore many approaches are justifiable. Indus

Abstract:

The Graphplan algorithm for generating optimal make-span plans containing parallel sets of actions remains one of the most effective ways to generate such plans. However, despite enhancements on a range of fronts, the approach is currently dominated in terms of speed, by state space planners that employ distance-based heuristics to quickly generate serial plans. We report on a family of strategies that employ available memory to construct a search trace so as to learn from various aspects of Graphplan?s iterative search episodes in order to expedite search in subsequent episodes.

Abstract:

Recent years have seen a growing momentum within UK Higher Education institutions to examine the colonial legacy entanglements of teaching materials and knowledge production, as institutions explore what it means to ‘decolonise the curriculum’. While the movement began in the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in response to a student call for the statue of Cecil Rhodes to be removed, elsewhere this has become a top-down imperative from institutions themselves. In 2014 University College London hosted a panel discussion ‘Why Isn’t My Professor Black’ building on the previous year’s video a

Abstract:

A new promising approach for visibility-sensitive path-planning problems is presented. The paper focuses on covert navigation where a mobile robot needs to plan a stealthy path to approach a designated destination in a cluttered environment. The aim is to minimize the robot's exposure to hostile sentries within the same environment. The approach can be adapted to work with different levels of initial knowledge the robot may have about both the environment map and the sentries' locations. The approach depends on estimating a cost value at each free-space location that presents the risk of being

SUMMARY This work presents a new methodology designed to estimate the slowness vector in large-aperture sparse Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) arrays. The Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is used to convert the original incoherent traces that span a large array, into coherent impulse functions adapted to the array aperture. Subsequently, these impulse functions are beamformed in the frequency domain to estimate the slowness vector. We compare the performance of this new method with that of an alternative solution, based on the Short-/Long-Term Average algorithm and with a method based on the

Graph edit distance (GED) is an important metric for measuring the distance or similarity between two graphs. It is defined as the minimum number of edit operations required to transform one graph into another. Computing the exact GED between two graphs is an NP-hard problem. With the success of deep learning across various application domains, graph neural networks have also been recently utilized to predict the GED between graphs. However, the existing studies on learning-based methods have two significant limitations. (1)~The development of deep learning models for GED prediction has been e

Our primary objective is to develop an efficient and accurate method for analyzing time series with a multiscale character. Our motivation stems from the studies of the physical properties of marine sediment (stiffness and density) derived from seismic acoustic records of surface/interface waves along the water-seabed boundary. These studies depend on the dispersive characteristics of water-sediment surface waves. To obtain a reliable retrieval of the shear-wave velocities, we need a very accurate time-frequency record of the surface waves. Such a time-frequency analysis is best carried out by

A tensor calculus adapted to the Anti-Newtonian limit of Einstein gravity is developed. The limit is defined in terms of a global conformal rescaling of the spatial metric.

Conventional tensors admit an analogous Anti-Newtonian limit, which however transforms according to a non-standard realization of the spacetime Diffeomorphism group.

The fatigue strength of structural components is strongly affected by notches and imperfections. Both can be treated similarly, as local notch fatigue strength methods can also be applied to interior defects. Even though Murakami’s √area approach is commonly used in the threshold-based fatigue design of single imperfections, advanced concepts such as the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD), Notch Stress Intensity Factors (N-SIF), or Elastic Strain Energy Density (ESED) methods provide additional insight into the local fatigue strength distribution of irregularly shaped defects under varying uni

<strong>Abstract </strong> A lot of research has been conducted in constructivism as a relatively new theory opposing traditional learning theories with its innovative ideas. In the field of English language teaching, however, and teacher’s cognitions of educational theories, research is still insufficient in the Albanian EFL context. This study explores Albanian EFL teachers’ perceptions of constructivism and their classroom practices. The data was collected from four high school classrooms and two EFL teachers through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews and stimula

Abstract:

Surveys of microbial communities (microbiota), typically measured as relative abundance of species, have illustrated the importance of these communities in human health and disease. Yet, statistical artifacts commonly plague the analysis of relative abundance data. Here, we introduce the PhILR transform, which incorporates microbial evolutionary models with the isometric log-ratio transform to allow off-the-shelf statistical tools to be safely applied to microbiota surveys. We demonstrate that analyses of community-level structure can be applied to PhILR transformed data with performance on be

Abstract:

Abstract Background A classical problem in comparative genomics is to compute the rearrangement distance, that is the minimum number of large-scale rearrangements required to transform a given genome into another given genome. The traditional approaches in this area are family-based, i.e., require the classification of DNA fragments of both genomes into families. Furthermore, the most elementary family-based models, which are able to compute distances in polynomial time, restrict the families to occur at most once in each genome. In contrast, the distance computation in models that allow multi

Abstract:

We are interested in martingale rearrangement couplings. As introduced by Wiesel in order to prove the stability of Martingale Optimal Transport problems, these are projections in adapted Wasserstein distance of couplings between two probability measures on the real line in the convex order onto the set of martingale couplings between these two marginals. Under a barycentre dispersion assumption on the original coupling which is in particular satisfied by the Hoeffding-Fréchet or comonotone coupling, Wiesel gives a clear algorithmic construction of a martingale rearrangement when the marginals

Abstract:

Due to certain hardware limitations the quality of terahertz images is often lower than desired, which makes it difficult to extract valuable information from them. The goal of this paper is to investigate possibilities to overcome some of these limitations by means of digital image processing. The research is held on a set of images obtained at different distances from the source of terahertz radiation at 0.1 THz frequency. It is shown that the noise in these images is mixed and has a significant level of spatial correlation. For image quality enhancement a fully automatic denoising method ba

Abstract:

Abstract A method to identify the surface of solid models immersed in fluid flows is devised that examines the spatial distribution of flow tracers. The fluid–solid interface is associated with the distance from the center of a circle to the centroid of the tracers ensemble captured within it. The theoretical foundation of the method is presented for 2D planar interfaces in the limit of a continuous tracer distribution. The discrete regime is analyzed, yielding the uncertainty of this estimator. Also the errors resulting from curved interfaces are discussed. The method's working principle is i

Abstract:

Intratumoral molecular cancer cell heterogeneity is conventionally ascribed to the accumulation of random mutations that occasionally generate fitter phenotypes. This model is built upon the “mutation-selection” paradigm in which mutations drive ever-fitter cancer cells independent of environmental circumstances. An alternative model posits spatio-temporal variation (e.g., blood flow heterogeneity) drives speciation by selecting for cancer cells adapted to each different environment. Here, spatial genetic variation is the consequence rather than the cause of intratumoral evolution. In nature,

IntroductionThis paper argues that the industrial contexts of re-imagining, or transforming, literary icons deploy the promotional strategies that are associated with what are usually seen as lesser, or purely commercial, genres. Promotional paratexts (Genette Paratexts; Gray; Hills) reveal transformations of content that position audiences to receive them as creative innovations, superior in many senses to their literary precursors due to the distinctive expertise of creative professionals. This interpretation leverages Matt Hills’ argument that certain kinds of “quality” screened drama are d

It will investigate how the performance of stillness within an artistic practice could off

Because the IgG set of each individual is unique, measuring affinity kinetics of human or animal plasma IgG binding to a specific peptide hormone may provide useful information towards understanding of individual variability in peptidergic signaling.
