Abstract
Deep learning comes with significant computational complexity, making it until recently only feasible on power-hungry server platforms. In the past years, we however see a trend towards embedded processing of deep learning networks, with several deep learning accelerators appearing academically and commercially. This talk will give an overview of the various techniques used in such designs to improve deep neural network inference efficiency and throughput. Further, the talk dives into the need co-optimization between algorithms and implementation architectures to obtain solutions which are not just efficient from a hardware point of view, but also from an application or system level viewpoint.

Abstract
This talk overviews on basic pixel structure of CMOS image sensors (CIS), including 3-transistor and 4-transistor pixels, pixel share structure and a global shutter pixel, and basics of signal chain from pixel to column parallel ADC through column circuits. It also introduces cross section of BSI pixel structure with aggressive stacking with 3-layer stacking. Then this talk covers how circuits can contribute to improve the performance of CMOS image sensors to improve dynamic range, and frame rates. Pixel parallel ADC is introduced as the pioneering work, and now in reality as stacked BSI structure. Frequency conversion technique is introduced as an example of time-domain signal processing to expand dynamic range. And further time stamping technique is introduced for both expanding the dynamic range, as well as for in-pixel gamma correction. Finally, ultra-high speed image sensor is introduced, which enables more than 1Mfps by utilizing high speed column parallel ADC and in-column analog memories.

description: Theoretical prediction of surface stellar abundances of light elements -- lithium, beryllium, and boron -- represents one of the most interesting open problems in astrophysics. As well known, several measurements of 7-Li abundances in stellar atmospheres point out a disagreement between predictions and observations in different stellar evolutionary phases, rising doubts about the capability of present stellar models to precisely reproduce stellar envelope characteristics. Light elements are burned at relatively low temperatures (from 2 to 5 MK) and thus in the evolutionary stages of a star they are gradually destroyed at different depths of stellar interior, in dependence on the stellar mass. Their surface abundances are strongly influenced by the nuclear cross sections, by the extension of the convective envelope and by the temperature at its bottom, which depend on the characteristics of the star (mass and chemical composition) as well as on the energy transport in the convective stellar envelope. In recent years, a great effort has been made to improve the precision of light element burning cross sections. However, theoretical predictions surface light element abundance are challenging because they are also influenced by the uncertainties in the input physics adopted in the calculations as well as the efficiency of several standard and non-standard physical processes active in young stars (i.e. diffusion, radiative levitation, magnetic fields, rotation). Moreover, it is still not completely clear how much the previous protostellar evolution affects the characteristics of a stellar model and thus the light element depletion. This paper presents the state-of-the-art of theoretical predictions for protostars and PMS stars, discussing the role of several input physics on the stellar evolution.

Interactive least squares surface fitting
Creators: name: Samsom, Anthony Harm
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is concerned with the design and implementation of a surface fitting package in an interactive graphics environment. Surface fitting techniques are used to generate a smooth looking, easy to evaluate, bivariate function given a set of data points on some domain in the plane, and are thus useful for a variety of applications. We consider the implementation of a surface fitting technique using weighted least squares with tensor products of B-splines on regular data grids (i.e. the position of the data points can be represented as the cross product of two vectors). While somewhat more restrictive than other surface fitting methods, this technique, when applicable, is extremely efficient. Knot placement and weight placement are discussed as methods of adapting the spline surface to rapidly varying regions on the domain. A disadvantage of the original method used to solve for the coefficients of the spline surface is that the domain of the function to be approximated must be rectangular. An algorithm to extend the surface fitting method to non-rectangular domains, thus removing this restriction, is presented. An interactive surface fitting package is provided, which allows a user to fit a spline surface to a set of data points on a regular grid. This provides a powerful tool which may be used to effectively modify the spline surface and indicate the accuracy of the approximation.
Intersubjektive Prozesse in der Einstiegsphase einer Therapeutischen Begleitung

description: In therapeutic- to be more precise: “developmental- psychologically- psychodynamic”- counselling the relationship between the therapeutic counsellor and the supervised child, is of high importance. In order to be successful, the mentioned relationship should be resistant, strong and reliable from the beginning on. This allows a fresh approach for new experiences. The main aim of this thesis is to reveal intersubjective processes, particularly in the initial phase of therapeutic counselling. These processes can contribute to develop trust in two ways: On the one hand they increase trust in the therapeutic counsellor and on the other hand they help the supervised child to increase trust in itself.
description: Eine stabile Beziehung zwischen einem Therapeutischen Begleiter und seinem zu betreuenden Kind ist in einer entwicklungspädagogisch-psychodynamischen Begleitung von bedeutender Wichtigkeit. Es soll von Anfang an gelingen einen widerstandsfähigen, strapazierfähigen und vor allem sicheren Beziehungsrahmen zu etablieren, denn erst dadurch kann ein Raum entstehen, der neu bespielt werden kann und in dem neue Erfahrungsmöglichkeiten erschlossen werden können. In dieser Arbeit soll versucht werden intersubjektive Prozesse – insbesondere in der Einstiegsphase der Therapeutischen Begleitung – aufzudecken, die dazu beitragen können, dass Vertrauen in zweierlei Hinsicht entwickelt werden kann: einerseits in den Therapeutischen Begleiter, andererseits zunehmend in das eigenen Selbst. Anhand von dargestellten Theorien sollen Aspekte aus der Beziehungsbildung aufgegriffen und definiert werden. Im Anschluss daran sollen theoretische Überlegungen mit konkreten Ereignissen, die mit Hilfe von Protokollen festgehalten wurden, verknüpft werden. Mit Hilfe einer deskriptiven, analytischen und darstellenden Methode soll versucht werden signifikante Parameter zu beschreiben, die sich in der Entwicklung von Vertrauen festhalten lassen.
Zum Scheitern verurteilt
Creators: name: Treml, Eva
Year: 2011

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema der Klassenschranken im Deutschland des 19. Jahrhunderts. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die beiden Romane Theodor Fontanes „Irrungen, Wirrungen“ und „Stine“. In beiden Werken scheitert die Liebesbeziehung einer einfachen Frau zu einem adeligen Herrn aufgrund der Klassengegensätze. Insbesondere sollen nun diese Klassenschranken in Bezug auf die Gespräche der Figuren und auf die Erzählerkommentare hin untersucht werden. So wird die Einstellung der verschiedenen Klassen zueinander und zu den sie umgebenden Konventionen aufgezeigt und damit das anschließende Scheitern der Beziehungen begründet. Zunächst wird der Kontext, in dem die Handlung steht, in einem theoretischen Kapitel aufgearbeitet: Die historisch- soziale Situation der in den Romanen behandelten Klassen wird zu Beginn erörtert. Anschließend wird durch das Heranziehen von Briefen Fontanes dessen persönliche Einstellung zu den Klassenschranken beleuchtet, um deren Einfließen in die Romane bestätigen oder widerlegen zu können. Dies ist von Bedeutung, da des Weiteren die Erzähltechnik des Autors in Bezug auf die literarische Epoche des Realismus und die darin enthaltenen Stilmittel erörtert wird. Anschließend erfolgt die genaue Beleuchtung der Figuren und ihrer Gespräche im Hauptteil der Arbeit. Zum Abschluss wird aufgezeigt, in welche Gruppen die Figuren der Romane schlussendlich ihrem Verhalten nach eingeteilt werden können und dass trotz ihrer Diversität die Beziehungen scheitern.
Das argentinische Roadmovie
Creators: name: Schiffauer, Raphaela
Year: 2012

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Genre Roadmovie in der argentinischen Filmlandschaft und geht der spezifischen Fragestellung nach, welche Besonderheiten das argentinische Roadmovie auszeichnen. Der Arbeit liegt die These zugrunde, dass die argentinische Genreform, trotz seiner facettenreichen Umsetzung, durch gewisse „Charakterzüge“ definiert werden kann, die alle Filme, die im Zuge dieser Arbeit untersucht wurden, miteinander verbindet. Um herauszufinden, welche Besonderheiten das argentinische Roadmovie auszeichnen, wurde in der Sekundärliteratur nach charakteristischen Eigenschaften des lateinamerikanischen Roadmovies gesucht. Anschließend wurde überprüft, ob die genannten Wesensmerkmale auch in jenem Filmkorpus wiedergefunden werden können, der im Fokus dieser Arbeit steht. Das Verfassen der Diplomarbeit wurde von dem Wunsch geleitet, ein „allgemeines Bild“ des argentinischen Roadmovies zu vermitteln. Aus diesem Grund erfolgte in der Arbeit die Darstellung der Entstehung und Entwicklung des Genres in der argentinischen Filmlandschaft sowie die Untersuchung von sieben Filmbeispielen, wobei Tan de repente (2002), Historias mínimas (2002) und Cleopatra (2003) einer Filmanalyse unterzogen wurden.

description: Auf Grund der hegemonialen Position der amerikanischen Bevölkerung im Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten befindet sich die dort ebenfalls ansässige Minderheitengruppe der Mexikoamerikaner bis dato in einer von Immigrantendasein und gesellschaftlicher Benachteiligung geprägten Situation. The Wedding von Mary Helen Ponce sowie El Diablo en Texas von Aristeo Brito illustrieren, basierend auf der besagten Situation, auf literarische Weise einen Ausschnitt des Alltages der mexikoamerikanischen Population, beginnend mit dem Jahr 1883 bis in die 60er des letzten Jahrhunderts. Um soziale Faktoren des Zusammenpralls der amerikanischen und mexikoamerikanischen Kulturen zu verstehen, das heißt um das Soziale aus diesen literarischen Werken wissenschaftlich erfassen zu können, bedient sich diese Arbeit der Methode der Literatursoziologie. Es ergibt sich folglich aus der sozioliterarischen Analyse der Werke ein großes soziales Gefüge, welches das Zusammenleben der beiden Gruppen sowie Bräuche, Lebensweisen, Attitüden, etc. der mexikoamerikanischen Bevölkerung skizziert. Im Rahmen der Erforschung dieses Themas gelingt es auch, die so scharf kritisierte Literatursoziologie in ihrer Anwendung bei ethnischer Literatur neu zu definieren und brauchbar zu machen.
Institutional investors and voluntary disclosure and transparency in Egypt

Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University

Subjects: Corporate governance

description: Corporate governance, especially disclosure and transparency, have become critical issues in today’s business environment. Greater, especially voluntary, disclosure promotes overall transparency enhancing investor confidence. This thesis explores how institutional ownership impacts voluntary disclosure and transparency in Egypt: first, by assessing corporate voluntary disclosure/transparency levels, and second, by analysing how institutional investors’ ownership impact these levels. Voluntary disclosure/transparency was determined using a voluntary disclosure and transparency index – using a checklist against which annual reports of companies on the Egyptian Exchange were examined. Institutional ownership was considered from two perspectives: 1) aggregate; 2) subdivided into, banks; insurance companies; mutual funds; blockholders; government; foreign. Four firm characteristics believed to impact disclosure and transparency were integrated into the study: firm size; leverage; profitability; age. Regression models were constructed and seven main hypotheses and five sub-hypotheses developed and tested using various multivariate techniques to determine the impact of institutional ownership. The models were tested using data from 191 annual reports of the 50 most active companies on the Egyptian Exchange over the period 2007-2011. The results showed: relatively low levels of voluntary disclosure and transparency prevail in Egypt with the lowest levels of disclosure relating to corporate governance and corporate social responsibility information; institutional ownership in aggregate positively impacted levels of voluntary disclosure and transparency. However, when analysed separately, ownership by banks and foreign institutional investors were found to be the most influential in improving corporate voluntary disclosure. Institutions with over fifty percent of ownership were also found to have a positive impact. Overall, the results revealed that the type of institutional ownership does matter in relation to promoting disclosure/transparency; and should not be treated as one homogenous group. It is suggested to better integrate and utilize those institutions with potential for improving corporate disclosure. This research adds to the very few studies on how different kinds of institutional ownership impact corporate governance in emerging markets.

description: Purpose: Relative to other types of innovations, little is known about business model innovation, let alone the process of managing the risks involved in that process. Using the emerging (enterprise) risk management literature, an approach is proposed through which risk management can be embedded in the business model innovation process.

Design: The integrated business model innovation risk management model developed in this paper has been tested through an action research study in a Danish company.

Findings: The study supports our proposition that the implementation of risk management throughout the innovation process reduces the risks related to the uncertainty and complexity of developing and implementing a new business model.

Originality: The study supports the proposition that the implementation of risk management throughout the innovation process reduces the risks related to the uncertainty and complexity of developing and implementing a new business model. The business model risk management model makes managers much more focused on identifying problematic issues and putting explicit plans and timetables into place for resolving/reducing risks, and assists companies in aligning the risk treatment choices made during the

description: A class of dynamical dark energy models, dubbed Spinor Quintom, can be constructed by a spinor field $ψ$ with a nontraditional potential. We find that, if choosing suitable potential, this model is able to allow the equation-of-state to cross the cosmological constant boundary without introducing any ghost fields. In a further investigation, we show that this model is able to mimic a perfect fluid of Chaplygin gas with $p=-c/ρ$ during the evolution, and also realizes the Quintom scenario with its equation-of-state across -1.

Krebszellen als Targets für VIP-Rezeptor-Liganden?
Creators: name: Ortner, Anna
Year: 2008

description: Der Effekt des Vasoaktiven Intestinalen Peptids auf die Proliferation von Krebs-zellen ist vom Zelltyp, der Konzentration und dem Stadium der Tumorgenese ab-hängig. Je nach Zusammenspiel dieser Parameter kann es das Zellwachstum fördern, hemmen bzw. gar nicht beeinflussen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollte der Einfluss von VIP und zwei synthetischen Peptidanaloga (VIP-A7 und VIP-A32) auf das Proliferationsverhalten anhand ei-nes repräsentativen Querschnitts von Tumorzelllinien mittels nicht-radioaktiver Proliferationstests (MTT-Tests) untersucht werden. Neben den Auswirkungen auf die Proliferation sollte mit fluoreszenzmarkierten Derivaten der Peptide auch der Transport der jeweiligen Peptide in die Zellen verfolgt werden. Unter Verwendung konfokalmikroskopischer Techniken sollten Unterschiede im Internalisierungsver-halten, basierend auf der Peptidstruktur, analysiert werden. Mithilfe dieser beiden Untersuchungsmethoden galt es abzuklären, ob und für welche Tumorarten VIP und die zwei synthetischen Analoga als Therapeutikum bzw. in der Tumordiagnose eingesetzt werden können. Für die Therapie sind die Peptideffekte auf die Proliferation ausschlaggebend. Hemmen die Peptide das Wachstum signifikant, können sie als Einzeltherapie, mit vielen Vorteilen gegenüber der Chemotherapie (siehe Kapitel 1.2), in Kombi-nation mit Chemotherapeutika oder als Vehikelmoleküle für diese eingesetzt wer-den. Für die Krebsdiagnostik spielen sowohl das Proliferations-, als auch das Internali-sierungsverhalten eine wichtige Rolle. Ein Diagnostikum darf auf keinen Fall das Wachstum des Tumors beschleunigen. Von essentieller Bedeutung wäre darüber hinaus eine Blockade des Rezeptors, das bedeutet der Ligand wird nicht mit dem Rezeptor internalisiert, sondern lagert sich an der Zellmembran an. Da er nicht in die Zelle eindringt nimmt er auch nicht an ihrem Stoffwechsel teil und belastet somit das gesunde Gewebe, das unter Umständen ebenfalls VPAC-Rezeptoren exprimiert, nicht (siehe Tab. 1).

Abstract
In CMOS amplifiers, component mismatch can easily give rise to offsets of several millivolts. However, this can be reduced to the microvolt level by the application of chopping. Compared to the alternatives, i.e. increasing device area or trimming, the use of chopping has the added advantage of also suppressing 1/f noise and drift. In this webinar, a high-speed introduction to the fundamentals of chopping will be given.

Practical concurrency considerations for a student oriented database management system
Creators: name: Shamper, Julie Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The correctness (or integrity) of a database may be destroyed when the database is accessed concurrently by a number of independent transactions. Part of the job of a database management system is to control concurrency so that correctness is guaranteed. This thesis examines concurrency controls in general, and in particular those provided by the Educational Data Base System (EDBS). It is concluded that EDBS facilities are not sufficient to guarantee correctness. Several alternatives are proposed whereby correctness can be guaranteed. An approach is selected based on ease of implementation rather than on the degree of concurrency provided. Guaranteeing correctness and at the same time providing a high degree of concurrency turns out to be a very difficult problem both in theory and in practice.
Entwicklung eines Programmes zur Konstruktion logischer Schaltungen für den Informatikunterricht
Creators: name: Bauer, Markus
Year: 2012

description: Im Rahmen der Diplomarbeit wurde eine Software erstellt, die im Informatikunterricht zum Thema Boolesche Logik eingesetzt werden kann. Die Zielgruppe für das Programm sind Schülerinnen und Schüler der Schulstufen, in denen Informatik unterrichtet wird, also hauptsächlich im Alter zwischen 14 und 18 Jahren. Die Software ermöglicht es Schülerinnen und Schülern, das Erstellen von Gatterschaltungen zu üben. Benutzer des Programms haben die Möglichkeit, Gatterschaltungen selbst zu zeichnen oder vom Programm nach einer eingegebenen Booleschen Funktion zeichnen zu lassen. Boolesche Funktionen können entweder per Hand in das Programm eingegeben oder vom Programm aus einer gezeichneten Gatterschaltung berechnet werden. Boolesche Funktionen sowie Gatterschaltungen können von der Software verglichen und für verschiedene Belegungen der Eingangsvariablen verifiziert werden. In Abgrenzung zu einem reinen Lernprogramm soll es diese Software explizit nicht ermöglichen, das Thema Boolesche Logik von Grund auf zu erlernen. Vielmehr soll es aufbauend auf ein Grundwissen über Boolesche Logik und Gatterschaltungen ergänzend im Unterricht eingesetzt werden. Dafür enthält das Programm eine Funktion, mit Hilfe derer Aufgaben erstellt werden können, die dann von den Schülerinnen und Schülern bearbeitet werden. Die Resultate werden ebenfalls im Programm dargestellt. Die Umsetzung des Projekts erfolgte in der Programmiersprache Java. Damit ist das Programm grundsätzlich plattformunabhängig und kann zum Beispiel auch auf einem Linuxcomputer eingesetzt werden. Gemäß dem Einsatzort Schule wurde bei der Entwicklung des Programms vor allem auf Robustheit und Korrektheit sowie Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Zuverlässigkeit Wert gelegt. Meine Arbeit umfasst ein Javaprogramm sowie dessen Quellcode, welche den physischen Kopien der Diplomarbeit beigelegt werden.

description: The question as to whether the distribution of radio-loudness in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is actually bimodal has been discussed extensively in the literature. Futhermore, there have been claims that radio-loudness depends on black hole mass and Eddington ratio. We investigate these claims using the low redshift broad line AGN sample of Greene & Ho (2007), which consists of 8434 objects at z < 0.35 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Fourth Data Release (SDSS DR4). We obtained radio fluxes from the Very Large Array Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) survey for the SDSS AGN. Out of the 8434 SDSS AGN, 821 have corresponding observed radio fluxes in the FIRST survey. We calculated the radio-loudness parameter (R) for all objects above the FIRST detection limit (1 mJy), and an upper limit to R for the undetected objects. Using these data, the question of radio bimodality is investigated for different subsets of the total sample. We find no clear demarcation between the radio-loud (RL, R > 10) and radio-quiet (RQ, R < 10) objects, but instead fill in a more radio-intermediate population in a continuous fashion for all subsamples. We find that 4.7% of the AGN in the flux-limited subsample are RL based on core radio emission alone. We calculate the radio-loud fraction (RLF) as both a function of black hole mass and Eddington ratio. The RLF decreases (from 13% to 2%) as Eddington ratio increases over 2.5 order of magnitude. The RLF is nearly constant (~5%) over 4 decades in black hole mass, except for an increase at masses greater than 10^8 solar masses. We find for the FIRST detected subsample that 367 of the RL AGN have black hole masses less than 10^8 solar masses, a large enough number to indicate that RL AGN are not a product of only the most massive black holes in the local universe.

Automating physical reorganizational requirements at the access path level of a relational database management system
Creators: name: Weddell, Grant Edwin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Any design of an access path level of a database management system must make allowance for physical reorganization requirements. The facilities provided for such requirements at the access path level have so far been primitive in nature (almost always, in fact, requiring complicated human intervention)This thesis begins to explore the notion of increasing the degree of automation of such requirements at the access path level; to consider the practical basis for self-adapting or self-organizing data management systems. Consideration is first given to the motivation (justification) of such a notion. Then, based on a review of the relevant aspects of a number of existing data management systems, we present a complete design specification and outline for a proposed access path level. Regarding this system we consider in detail the automation of two major aspects of physical organization: the clustering of records on mass storage media and the selection of secondary indices. The results of our analysis of these problems provides a basis for the ultimate demonstration of feasibility of such automation.

description: Generalization of the minority game to more than one market is considered. At each time step every agent chooses one of its strategies and acts on the market related to this strategy. If the payoff function allows for strong fluctuation of utility then market occupancies become inhomogeneous with preference given to this market where the fluctuation occured first. There exists a critical size of agent population above which agents on bigger market behave collectively. In this regime there always exists a history of decisions for which all agents on a bigger market react identically.

Business Model Warfare: The Strategy of Business Breakthroughs
Creators: name: Morris, Langdon
Publisher: name: Journal of Business Models
Year: 2014

description: There’s a story behind every business success and every business failure, sometimes the story of a great idea; sometimes one that failed. Sometimes it’s a story of insightful management, or management that failed. But almost always it’s a story about change. Change in the market; change in the economy; change in a particular product or service that transformed a failure into a success, or vice versa. Hidden behind many of these changes, or sometimes as a result of them, there is change in what customers experience, and as a result, a change in their perceptions and attitudes, and then in their buying habits. Companies soar, or collapse, as a consequence. While we study the stories to learn about the specific changes, events, insights, and breakdowns in each case, we also look for broader and deeper explanations that show how change applies across industries and the whole of the economy. The broader patterns are often Business Model Innovations, the subject of this white paper. Here we propose a specific model explaining how large companies create and sustain market leadership in today’s market, or the traps that they fall into that prevent them from doing so.

Observation of e+e- --> rho+rho- near sqrt(s)=10.58 GeV

description: We report the first observation of $e^+e^- \to ρ^+ρ^-$, in a data sample of 379 $fb^{-1}$ collected with the BABAR detector at the {PEP-II} $e^+e^-$ storage ring at center-of-mass energies near $\sqrt{s} = 10.58 GeV. We measure a cross section of $σ({e^+e^-\} \to ρ^+ ρ^-) = {19.5 \pm 1.6(stat) \pm 3.2(syst) fb}$. Assuming production through single-photon annihilation, there are three independent helicity amplitudes. We measure the ratios of their squared moduli to be $|{F}_{00}|^2 : |{F}_{10}|^2 : |{F}_{11}|^2 = 0.51 \pm 0.14(stat) \pm 0.07(syst) : 0.10 \pm 0.04(stat) \pm 0.01(syst) : 0.04 \pm 0.03(stat) \pm 0.01(syst)$. The $|{F}_{00}|^2$ result is inconsistent with the prediction of 1.0 made by QCD models with a significance of 3.1 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties.

Counterfactual Quantum Cryptography
Creators: name: Noh, Tae-Gon
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Quantum cryptography allows one to distribute a secret key between two remote parties using the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. The well-known established paradigm for the quantum key distribution relies on the actual transmission of signal particle through a quantum channel. This paper shows that the task of a secret key distribution can be accomplished even though a particle carrying secret information is not in fact transmitted through the quantum channel. The proposed protocols can be implemented with current technologies and provide practical security advantages by eliminating the possibility that an eavesdropper can directly access the entire quantum system of each signal particle.

description: We consider resonant dynamics in a dilute atomic gas falling under gravity through a periodically pulsed standing-wave laser field. Our numerical calculations are based on a Monte Carlo method for an incoherent mixture of noninteracting plane waves, and show that quantum resonances are highly sensitive to the relative acceleration between the atomic gas and the pulsed optical standing wave. For particular values of the atomic acceleration, we observe fractional resonances. We investigate the effect of the initial atomic momentum width on the fractional resonances, and quantify the sensitivity of fractional resonances to thermal effects.

description: We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading order ${\cal O}(α_s^4)$ one-loop squared corrections to the production of heavy-quark pairs in the gluon-gluon fusion process. Together with the previously derived results on the $q \bar{q}$ production channel the results of this paper complete the calculation of the one-loop squared contributions of the next-to-next-to-leading order ${\cal O}(α_s^4)$ radiative QCD corrections to the hadroproduction of heavy flavors. Our results, with the full mass dependence retained, are presented in a closed and very compact form, in dimensional regularization.

description: We examine the role of neutron capture on 130Sn during r-process freeze-out in the neutrino-driven wind environment of the core-collapse supernova. We find that the global r-process abundance pattern is sensitive to the magnitude of the neutron capture cross section of 130Sn. The changes to the abundance pattern include not only a relative decrease in the abundance of 130Sn and an increase in the abundance of 131Sn, but also a shift in the distribution of material in the rare earth and third peak regions.

Abstract
This talk overviews on basic pixel structure of CMOS image sensors (CIS), including 3-transistor and 4-transistor pixels, pixel share structure and a global shutter pixel, and basics of signal chain from pixel to column parallel ADC through column circuits. It also introduces cross section of BSI pixel structure with aggressive stacking with 3-layer stacking. Then this talk covers how circuits can contribute to improve the performance of CMOS image sensors to improve dynamic range, and frame rates. Pixel parallel ADC is introduced as the pioneering work, and now in reality as stacked BSI structure. Frequency conversion technique is introduced as an example of time-domain signal processing to expand dynamic range. And further time stamping technique is introduced for both expanding the dynamic range, as well as for in-pixel gamma correction. Finally, ultra-high speed image sensor is introduced, which enables more than 1Mfps by utilizing high speed column parallel ADC and in-column analog memories.

description: We compute the scaling dimensions of a family of fixed-charge operators at the infrared fixed point of the $O(N)$ model featuring cubic interactions in $d=6-ε$ for arbitrary $N$ to leading and subleading order in the charge but to all orders in the couplings. The results are used to analyze the conjectured equivalence with the $O(N)$ model displaying quartic interactions at its ultraviolet fixed point. This is performed by comparing the cubic model scaling dimensions against the known large $N$ results for the quartic model and demonstrating that they match. Our results reinforce the conjectured equivalence and further provide novel information on the finite $N$ physics stemming from the computations in the cubic model just below 6 dimensions.
