description: The scales associated with Brown-Teitelboim-Bousso-Polchinski processes of brane nucleation, which result in changes of the flux parameters and the number of D-branes, are discussed in the context of type IIB models with all moduli stabilized. It is argued that such processes are unlikely to be described by effective field theory.

description: This article addresses the problem of existence of local factors, i.e., the root numbers and L-functions attached to representations of reductive groups over local fields and irreducible finite dimensional representations of their L-groups, as well as their equality with those of Artin factors through the local Langlands correspondence. We conclude the paper with a survey of the theory of monoids of Braverman-Kazhdan, Ngo and Vinberg in generalizing the method of Godement and Jacquet to arbitrary setting and their connections with Langlands-Shahidi method.
Selective Mutism: The Little Known Disorder That Causes Big Problems
Creators: name: Vogt, April Meyer
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: For my senior thesis/project, I planned on delving into the subject of Selective Mutism (SM) and how it interferes in a child's education, and what treatments and evaluations are available to help treat and diagnose a child with SM. SM is a type of anxiety disorder that can occur when a child develops an acute fear of speaking. Treatment of a child with SM usually focuses on techniques to lower anxiety and increase self-esteem and confidence in communication and social settings. I focused my presentation towards treatment models and options, including, but not limited too: behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, medication, family therapy, and alternative communication methods (specifically communication devices).

description: The sagebrush grassland landscape has shaped aspects of southeastern Idaho culture and enhanced its rural economy. Sharptail grouse, sage grouse and mule deer hunting are deeply rooted in family traditions. Each fall thousands of residents head out into the field to hunt, camp and enjoy the autumn outdoors. Deer hunting and associated activities generate an estimated 240 million dollars annually, in the Idaho economy. More recently, watching and photographing mule deer and other sagebrush grassland species is increasing in popularity and economic significance. But, trends in land conversion and development threaten sagebrush grassland landscapes, the wildlife they sustain, and cultural traditions.
Effect of non-prestressed reinforcement on the flexural behavior of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams prestressed with bonded, unbonded, and hybrid tendons
Creators: name: Oztok, Dogus

Year: 2023

description: The demand for innovation and improvement in residential and infrastructure construction rises with population growth, disasters, and life-span hazards of structures. New developments and methodologies in the material side, construction technology, and engineering techniques are initiated to accommodate this growing demand. To that end, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cementitious material that was developed to fulfill the growing demand for high-performance concrete in the construction of structures such as long-span bridges and/or restoration of existing structures to extend their service life. The invention of this material creates the necessity of investigating its impact on the behavior of structural elements.Prestressed concrete is a type of technique that is commonly used in construction. This method is utilized in a variety of construction and design projects, where its superior performance allows for greater spans and smaller geometric depths. The technique could be achieved by either implementing prestressing, which is performed before the concrete is cast or posttensioning which is applied after the concrete is cast. In addition, these two methods can be utilized in one system, which is called the hybrid system. The design may include any of the methods depending on the conditions since each of them has advantages and disadvantages.It is an undeniable fact that UHPC is a promising material for sustainable and durable infrastructure, thanks to its exceptional mechanical properties such as high compressive, tensile, flexural, and cracking strength as well as its superior durability and chloride resistance. However, its high price and the lack of formal design guidelines that account for its tensile ductility are major barriers to its widespread adoption. These challenges can be overcome by combining UHPC with prestressing and non-prestressing reinforcement, which can reduce material volumes, girder depth, labor and construction time, equipment needs, and shipping and handling needs along with the potential elimination of girder lines or intermediate piers. This study contributes to the growing body of experimental and analytical research on UHPC that will eventually lead to its inclusion in the design codes.Numerous advantages on deflection, moment capacity, stress distribution, ductility, and cracking behavior were detected by employing higher non-prestressed reinforcement ratios in prestressed UHPC beams. Different methods were examined to estimate the stress level on the unbonded tendons at the ultimate state, using code provisions and design equations as well as the mechanics-based approach with various plastic hinge length expressions. Furthermore, the behavior of bonded beams was analyzed by applying strain compatibility methodology.

description: A theoretical analysis is given of the equation of motion method, due to Alben et al., to compute the eigenvalue distribution (density of states) of very large matrices. The salient feature of this method is that for matrices of the kind encountered in quantum physics the memory and CPU requirements of this method scale linearly with the dimension of the matrix. We derive a rigorous estimate of the statistical error, supporting earlier observations that the computational efficiency of this approach increases with matrix size. We use this method and an imaginary-time version of it to compute the energy and the specific heat of three different, exactly solvable, spin-1/2 models and compare with the exact results to study the dependence of the statistical errors on sample and matrix size.

Negative Differential Mobility and Trapping in Active Matter Systems

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Using simulations, we examine the average velocity as a function of applied drift force for active matter particles moving through a random obstacle array. We find that for low drift force, there is an initial flow regime where the mobility increases linearly with drive, while for higher drift forces a regime of negative differential mobility appears in which the velocity decreases with increasing drive due to the trapping of active particles behind obstacles. A fully clogged regime exists at very high drift forces when all the particles are permanently trapped behind obstacles. We find for increasing activity that the overall mobility is nonmonotonic, with an enhancement of the mobility for small levels of activity and a decrease in mobility for large activity levels. We show how these effects evolve as a function of disk and obstacle density, active run length, drift force, and motor force.

Let $X$ be the supercritical super-Brownian motion corresponding to the evolution equation $u_t=frac12Delta+beta u-alpha u^2$ in $mathbb R^d$ and let $Z$ be the binary branching Brownian-motion with branching rate $beta$. For $tge 0$, let $R(t)=overlinebigcup_s=0^t mathrmsupp (X(s))$, that is $R(t)$ is the (accumulated) support of $X$ up to time $t$. For $tge 0$ and $a>0$, let $R^a(t)=bigcup_xin R(t)bar B(x,a).$ We call $R^a(t)$ the emphsuper-Brownian sausage corresponding to the supercritical super-Brownian motion $X$. For $tge 0$, let $hat R(t)=overlinebigcup_s=0^t mathrmsupp (Z(s))$, that is $hat R(t)$ is the (accumulated) support of $Z$ up to time $t$. For $tge 0$ and $a>0$, let $hat R^a(t)=bigcup_xin R(t)bar B(x,a).$ We call $hat R^a(t)$ the emphbranching Brownian sausage corresponding to $Z$.

description: The optimal source-finding strategy for linear polarization data is an unsolved problem, with many inhibitive factors imposed by the technically-challenging nature of polarization observations. Such an algorithm is essential for Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinder surveys, such as the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR), as data volumes are significant enough to prohibit manual inspection. We present a new strategy of `Faraday Moments' for source-finding in linear polarization with LOFAR, using the moments of the frequency-dependent full-Stokes data (i.e. the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and excess kurtosis). Through simulations of the sky, we find that moments can identify polarized sources with a high completeness: 98.5% at a signal-to-noise of 5. While the method has low reliability, Rotation Measure (RM) Synthesis can be applied per candidate source to filter out instrumental and spurious detections. This combined strategy will result in a complete and reliable catalogue of polarized sources that includes the full sensitivity of the observational bandwidth. We find that the technique can reduce the number of pixels on which RM Synthesis needs to be performed by a factor of $\approx1\times10^{5}$ for source distributions anticipated with modern radio telescopes. Through tests on LOFAR data, we find that the technique works effectively in the presence of diffuse emission. Extensions of this method are directly applicable to other upcoming radio surveys such as the POlarization Sky Survey of the Universe's Magnetism (POSSUM) with the Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), and the SKA itself.

Campus Climate: Effect on Ethnic Minority Students' Mental Health Utilization
Creators: name: Pruitt, Laura C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: The idea of climate as a construct that could impact the perception of one's environment was introduced by Bernice Sandler and colleagues (1996) with the idea of "chilly climate" as it relates to the inequitable differences between women and men. However this concept has been applied to other populations as well in particular that of ethnic minorities. A chilly climate describes how a person perceives the environment in terms of being welcoming and accepting, or intolerable and chilly. Taken alone any chilly behaviors may have little to no effect however behaviors that are overt and frequent can have a devastating cumulative effect by reducing self-esteem, confidence, aspirations and participation (Sandler, Silverberg, & Hall, 1996). These results are reinforced by other findings that have shown ethnic minorities, in particular African-American students, perceive a more negative general campus; racial and academic climates than White students (Reid & Radhakrishnan, 2003).
Refeeding Practices of Malnourished Children
Creators: name: Wittwer, Marcianne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: Over 200 million children in developing countries under the age of five are malnourished. Malnutrition contributes to more than half of the nearly 12 million under-five deaths in developing countries each year. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines malnutrition as "the cellular imbalance between the supply of nutrients and energy and the body's demand for them to ensure growth, maintenance, and specific functions." Because of the high demand for energy and essential nutrients, infants and children are at a particular risk for under-nutrition. Malnutrition is a condition that needs to be taken seriously and with proper treatment can save the lives of many children. The management and treatment is usually divided into the following three phases: initial treatment, rehabilitation, and follow-up. During the initial treatment life threatening problems are identified and treated, specific deficiencies are corrected, metabolic abnormalities are reversed, and feeding is begun. During the rehabilitation phase of treatment, intensive feeding is given to recover most of the lost weight, emotional and physical stimulation are increased, the mother or caregiver is trained to continue care at home. and preparations arc made for discharge. The follow-up phase is after discharge and is where the child and its family are followed to prevent relapse and assure the continued development of the child. Malnutrition for the most part is a silent and invisible emergency. People need to be aware of such cases and get these children the help that they need.

description: We consider the singularly perturbed boundary value problem $(E_ve) , ve^ 2 Delta u = f(u,x,ve)$ for $x in D, , fracpartial upartial n - lambda(x) u =0 quad mboxfor quad x in Gamma$ where $ D subset R^ 2$ is an open bounded simply connected region with smooth boundary $Gamma$, $ve$ is a small positive parameter and $partial/partial n$ is the derivative along the inner normal of $Gamma$. We assume that the degenerate problem $(E_0) quad f(u,x,0) =0$ has two solutions $varphi_1(x)$ and $varphi_2(x)$ intersecting in an smooth Jordan curve $ cal C$ located in $D$ such that $f_u(varphi_i(x),x,0)$ changes its sign on $cal C$ for $i=1,2$ (exchange of stabilities). By means of the method of asymptotic lower and upper solutions we prove that for sufficiently small $ve$, problem $(E_ve)$ has at least one solution $u(x,ve)$ satisfying $alpha(x,ve) le u(x,ve) le beta(x,ve) $ where the upper and lower solutions $beta(x,ve)$ and $alpha(x,ve)$ respectively fulfil $beta(x,ve) - alpha(x,ve) = O(sqrtve)$ for $x$ in a $delta$-neighborhood of $cal C$ where $delta$ is any fixed positive number sufficiently small, while $beta(x,ve) - alpha(x,ve) = O(ve)$ for $ x in overlineDbackslash D_delta$. Applying this result to a special reaction system in a nonhomogeneous medium we prove that the reaction rate exhibits a spatial jumping behavior.

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2003

description: Differentiating inherited central nervous system diseases in calves from non-inherited disorders is important due to significant ramifications to the herd breeding program and the poor prognosis associated with them. Well documented and suspected inherited conditions that cause central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction in calves include progressive degenerative myeloencephalopathy, spinal muscular atrophy, degenerative axonopathy, spinal dysmyelination, citrullinemia, cerebellar abiotrophy, progressive ataxia, spastic paresis, maple syrup urine disease, neuraxial edema, bovine familial convulsions, storage diseases, neuronal lipodystrophy and myelodysplasias. This review briefly describes the signalment and common clinical signs of many proven or presumably inherited conditions that cause CNS dysfunction in calves. These diseases are categorized by localization of the predominant signs into dysfunction of the spinal cord, cerebrum, cerebellum or multiple regions of the central nervous system. Detailed descriptions of pathologic lesions are beyond the scope of this article, however, the general location of these lesions is described to facilitate selection of appropriate samples for diagnostic testing. A brief review of the location of lesions and their relationship to clinical signs is provided. Some non-inherited conditions are briefly discussed to differentiate the many causes of CNS dysfunction in calves.

description: We compute numerical models of uniformly rotating strange stars (SS) in general relativity for the recently proposed QCD-based equation of state (EOS) of strange quark matter (Dey et al. 1998). Static models based on this EOS are characterised by a larger surface redshift than strange stars within the MIT bag model. The frequencies of the fastest rotating configurations described by Dey model are much higher than these for neutron stars (NS) and for the simplest SS MIT bag model. We determine a number of physical parameters for such stars and compare them with those obtained for NS. We construct constant baryon mass equilibrium sequences both normal and supramassive. Similarly to the NS a supramassive SS, prior to collapse to a black hole, spins up as it loses angular momentum. We find the upper limits on maximal masses and maximal frequencies of the rotating configurations. We show that the maximal rotating frequency for each of considered evolutionary sequences is never the Keplerian one. A normal and low mass supramassive strange stars gaining angular momentum always slows down just before reaching the Keplerian limit. For a high mass supramassive SS sequence the Keplerian configuration is the one with the lowest rotational frequency in the sequence. The value of $T/W$ for rapidly rotating SS of any mass is significantly higher than those for ordinary NS. For Keplerian configurations it increases as mass decreases. The results are robust for all linear self-bound equations of state.

description: The objectives of this study were 1) to measure morbidity and mortality rates attributable to respiratory disease in beef calves originating from southwestern Utah, 2) to evaluate herd of origin vitamin/mineral serum concentration at backgrounding lot entry, and 3) to evaluate a potential association between serum concentrations of 29 minerals and vitamins A and E at backgrounding lot entry with respiratory disease in recently weaned beef calves. This was a prospective longitudinal study with matched case-control and cross-sectional studies nested within the main study design. Pen-specific morbidity rates attributable to respiratory disease ranged from 1.2% to 81.8%. Serum concentrations of vitamins A and E in calves sampled (n=224) from eight southern Utah ranches were commonly less than published low-normal values. In these data, there was no detectable association between serum vitamin A and E or mineral imbalances and respiratory disease. Herds that experience a high rate of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) should be evaluated for mineral and vitamin deficiencies and supplemented as needed. If not deficient, it should not be expected that supplementation would reduce the rate of BRD in the face of mismanagement.

description: An outbreak of urolithiasis occurred in a small beef cattle feedlot feeding a total mixed ration containing cracked com, com gluten, gluten balancer, hay and di- atomaceous earth. A1100 lb (500 kg) steer was presented to the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for euthanasia and necropsy. Clinical signs included frequent tenesmus, evidence of abdominal pain, regurgitation and labored breathing. Serum chemistry revealed elevated BUN (160 mg/dl), creatinine (28.9 mg/ dl), creatine kinase (2253IU/L), and an inverted calcium- to-phosphorus ratio of 0.8. At necropsy, complete obstruction of the urethra with calcium phosphate (apatite) calculi was present. Based on the clinical pathology and extensive tissue damage in this animal, the prognosis was poor if surgical treatment had been elected. Analysis of the total mixed ration revealed a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1:1. This case highlights the importance of a prompt diagnosis of urinary calculi in symptomatic animals, and evaluation of the ration for possible mineral imbalances.

Moral Ambiguity and Drunkenness in The Canterbury Tales
Creators: name: Nyikos, Daniel A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: In the scholarship surrounding The Canterbury Tales, the subject of drunkenness has generally been neglected. For instance, Charles Shain's "Pulpit Rhetoric in Three Canterbury Tales," although discussing at length the reprentations of sin in Chaucer's work, does not address drunkenness as any more than a form of the sin of gluttony. This is a mistake, because the frequency with which drunkenness appears in The Canterbury Tales alone should demonstrate that it is worth closer comparative study. By examining the treatment of drunkenness in several of the tales, a more complete picture can be drawn.

description: We studied quantum reflection of Bose-Einstein condensates at normal incidence on a square array of silicon pillars. For incident velocities of 2.5-26 mm/s observations agreed with theoretical predictions that the Casimir-Polder potential of a reduced density surface would reflect slow atoms with much higher probability. At low velocities (0.5-2.5 mm/s), we observed that the reflection probability saturated around 60% rather than increasing towards unity. We present a simple model which explains this reduced reflectivity as resulting from the combined effects of the Casimir-Polder plus mean field potential and predicts the observed saturation. Furthermore, at low incident velocities, the reflected condensates show collective excitations.

Is Pascal a Safe Bet?
Creators: name: Mumford, Bradley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: The philosophical writings of Blaise Pascal may have passed completely unnoticed had it not been for the inclusion of his famous "wager". "Pascal's wager", as it has come to be known, has drawn a great deal of commentary and criticism over the years and it has stirred up excitement and speculation over Pascal's intended message. Many critics think his field of possibilities is too narrow. Some critics say that he allows for too few options, while others argue over the validity of his conclusion. In this essay we will discuss a number of the criticisms of Pascal's wager that have been brought forth previously, as well as introduce some new ones. We shall consider alternative interpretations of Pascal's idea, and weigh the outcomes of each. We will analyze Pascal's idea from a traditional Christian perspective, citing passages from many writers to support the arguments.

We generalize this result for the bosonized ghost sector, verify their commutation relation and relate our expressions to wedge state representations.

description: Scheduling is a problem that is not only common computer science, but which also comes up in a variety of real world situations. Whether multi-threading computer processes, scheduling airport traffic, optimizing assembly line production and manufacturing, or ensuring that enough employees are on the floor at a given time, scheduling is important for increasing efficiency, reducing costs, optimizing production, and meeting deadlines. Scheduling has been used throughout history and has increased in efficacy through the years. Modem computerized scheduling techniques are typically much better than human calculations and often produce surprising insights and results which would have been otherwise passed over due to their counter-intuitive nature.

description: Coluber dora Daudin, 1803
 Coluber dora Daudin, 1803: 191; based on Russell (1801 [in 1801–1809]: 6, pl. 5, “Dora”).—Type locality. Not given; stated as “ in Bengala ” by Merrem (1820: 119).—Onomatophore: Holotype. Specimen depicted by Russell (1801 [in 1801–1809]: pl. 5).
Status. A taxon here regarded as a subjective synonym of Xenochrophis piscator. Synonymized with Tropidonotus umbratus by Schlegel (1837: 310). Should dark coloured, large specimens inhabiting northeastern India deserve a distinct taxonomic position, we here select Coluber mortuarius Daudin, 1803 as having priority over C. dora Daudin, 1803.
Comments. Russell applied this name to another specimen with an extensive black pattern. This kind of pattern is sometimes found in some specimens from northeastern India (as the specimens shown on the plate called Naugealled Keaka), often associated with a large size in adult females (see below). The status of this specimen and of others depicted by Russell not mentioned here is planned to be discussed elsewhere.

Gender Differences in Emotion Regulation
Creators: name: Madsen, Kristiane
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: Emotion regulation is conceptualized as the ability to identify and respond appropriately to emotions. Previous research on gender and emotional expression suggests that female children are socially conditioned to be more expressive, and thus may be more able to regulate emotion with their mothers in relation to their male peers. Participants include 144 mother-child pairs at child age points 14, 24, and 36 months and at Pre-Kindergarten entry who participated in a local Early Head Start Research and Evaluation project. Data consist of videotaped interactions of mothers and infants engaged in a 10 minute free play activity with three bags of toys. Interactions were coded using the Emotion Regulation Rating Scales (ERRS). Two sub scales of this measure were used: Infant Regulation with Mother, and Mother Regulation with Infant. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation. Results indicate a significant gender difference in Infant Regulation with Mother at 36 months. At this age point, girls were more regulated with their mothers than boys. Other age points were not significant. No significant gender differences in Maternal Regulation with Infant were found.

description: The Mason Square Development Corporation (MSDC), a non-profit group supported by federal block grants has sponsored significant improvements in the economic and social welfare of State Street - the commercial spine of Mason Square. In the past, MSDC has promoted single projects along State Street, but is now seeking a more integrated approach to economic development. Seeing economic vitality as integral to community development, the purpose of this work is twofold. First, we examine Mason Square's rich heritage as a neighborhood system of mixed land uses, taking particular note of the current efforts to try to attract investors, visitors, and shoppers into the Center of Mason Square as a cohesive network of policy decisions, investment opportunities, and design strategies that will restore and sustain Mason Square Urban Village into the twenty-first century.

description: We present new measurement of $^{12}$CO($J=1-0$) emission from 16 luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) at intermediate redshift ($cz \sim 10,000 - 50,000 {\rm km s^{-1}}$). These new data were selected by isolated and normal morphology. The CO observations were performed using the NRO 45-m telescope. Comparison of the CO and dust properties of the new result with those from other CO measurements revealed characteristics of this sample: (1) It is the deepest CO observations of IRAS galaxies at intermediate redshift without strong interaction features. (2) It has typical properties of normal IRAS galaxies in terms of star-formation efficiency, color-color diagrams and galactic nuclear activity. (3) It has smaller gas-to-dust ratio than normal IRAS galaxies. This can be explained by two-component dust model, and our sample consists of most of warm dust.

description: Audio-based multimedia retrieval tasks may identify semantic information in audio streams, i.e., audio concepts (such as music, laughter, or a revving engine). Conventional Gaussian-Mixture-Models have had some success in classifying a reduced set of audio concepts. However, multi-class classification can benefit from context window analysis and the discriminating power of deeper architectures. Although deep learning has shown promise in various applications such as speech and object recognition, it has not yet met the expectations for other fields such as audio concept classification. This paper explores, for the first time, the potential of deep learning in classifying audio concepts on User-Generated Content videos. The proposed system is comprised of two cascaded neural networks in a hierarchical configuration to analyze the short- and long-term context information. Our system outperforms a GMM approach by a relative 54%, a Neural Network by 33%, and a Deep Neural Network by 12% on the TRECVID-MED database
Finding Flow in Photography

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The associations I bring to an image are unique to me and my life experiences. I did not fully appreciate this until, as a photographer, I began to produce a body of work about activities that provide a refuge for me from the challenges of everyday life. I am an avid runner. For me running is a spiritual experience that renews my spirits and gives me hope. I took photos of the physical act of running and I was very disappointed with the results. The images failed to capture or recreate the sensations that I experienced while running. They elicited a full range of responses from viewers depending on their own personal experiences. There were those who abhorred running and had strong feelings of dislike. Even fellow runners brought completely different associations about running to the images. I became aware that it was more important to me to capture the way running made me feel than it was to document the actual activity itself. To create images of feelings, I found I needed to be able to articulate those feelings first, in verbal metaphors and then in turn in visual metaphors.

description: We present a proposal for deterministic quantum teleportation of electrons in a semiconductor nanostructure consisting of a single and a double quantum dot. The central issue addressed in this paper is how to design and implement the most efficient - in terms of the required number of single and two-qubit operations - deterministic teleportation protocol for this system. Using a group-theoretical analysis we show that deterministic teleportation requires a minimum of three single-qubit rotations and two entangling (sqrt(swap)) operations. These can be implemented for spin qubits in quantum dots using electron spin resonance (for single-spin rotations) and exchange interaction (for sqrt(swap) operations).

description: Eight-year-old Victoria, with hands on hips and chin stuck up, defiantly said, "No mom, I want to stay for After-School Club. I don't care about the dentist." Her mother patiently responded by telling Victoria, "I know you want to stay but we have to leave now or we will be late for our appointment." The little girl, seeming to know from experience that her mother would not budge, stomped her foot as she began leaving the school saying, "I hate when I have to miss After-School Club!"

description: In this paper we present ProSLAM, a lightweight stereo visual SLAM system designed with simplicity in mind. Our work stems from the experience gathered by the authors while teaching SLAM to students and aims at providing a highly modular system that can be easily implemented and understood. Rather than focusing on the well known mathematical aspects of Stereo Visual SLAM, in this work we highlight the data structures and the algorithmic aspects that one needs to tackle during the design of such a system. We implemented ProSLAM using the C++ programming language in combination with a minimal set of well known used external libraries. In addition to an open source implementation, we provide several code snippets that address the core aspects of our approach directly in this paper. The results of a thorough validation performed on standard benchmark datasets show that our approach achieves accuracy comparable to state of the art methods, while requiring substantially less computational resources.
