description: A small set of combinatorial sequences have coefficients that can be represented as moments of a nonnegative measure on $[0, \infty)$. Such sequences are known as Stieltjes moment sequences. This article focuses on some classical sequences in enumerative combinatorics, denoted $Av(\mathcal{P})$, and counting permutations of $\{1, 2, \ldots, n \}$ that avoid some given pattern $\mathcal{P}$. For increasing patterns $\mathcal{P}=(12\ldots k)$, we recall that the corresponding sequences, $Av(123\ldots k)$, are Stieltjes moment sequences, and we explicitly find the underlying density function, either exactly or numerically, by using the Stieltjes inversion formula as a fundamental tool. We show that the generating functions of the sequences $\, Av(1234)$ and $\, Av(12345)$ correspond, up to simple rational functions, to an order-one linear differential operator acting on a classical modular form given as a pullback of a Gaussian $\, _2F_1$ hypergeometric function, respectively to an order-two linear differential operator acting on the square of a classical modular form given as a pullback of a $\, _2F_1$ hypergeometric function. We demonstrate that the density function for the Stieltjes moment sequence $Av(123\ldots k)$ is closely, but non-trivially, related to the density attached to the distance traveled by a walk in the plane with $k-1$ unit steps in random directions. Finally, we study the challenging case of the $Av(1324)$ sequence and give compelling numerical evidence that this too is a Stieltjes moment sequence. Accepting this, we show how rigorous lower bounds on the growth constant of this sequence can be constructed, which are stronger than existing bounds. A further unproven assumption leads to even better bounds, which can be extrapolated to give an estimate of the (unknown) growth constant.

 Comments: Records of this species from Alberta and British Columbia should be referred to Chlorochroa uhleri (Scudder & Thomas 1987). Froeschner (1988) listed this species from Arkansas, but this is probably based upon a misidentification. Halbert (2017) recorded an interception of this species on garden radish in Florida; this record is not included in the above distribution as there is no evidence that it actually occurs in Florida. Roch (2020) listed this species from New York; this record needs verification.

description: Open Access hat sich in der Welt der wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken inzwischen etabliert. Seit geraumer Zeit kündigt sich der nächste Schritt zu mehr Offenheit an: Open Data. Nicht mehr nur der Zugang zu den Daten soll offen sein, die Daten selber sollen offen werden. Maschinenlesbare Daten sollen frei lizenziert werden, so dass sie von der Öffentlichkeit genutzt, weiterverarbeitet und publiziert werden können. Open Data werden unter dem Name Open Government Data von Behörden und den Verwaltungen publiziert. Die Open-Data-Bewegung und Initiativen wie OpenGLAM der Open Knowledge Foundation fordern mit einiger Vehemenz die Öffnung dieser von Steuergeldern finanzierten Daten. Die ETH Zürich hat die „Berliner Erklärung über den offenen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Wissen“ im 2006 unterzeichnet und im 2008 eine Open-Access-Policy verabschiedet. Im Bildarchiv wird diesem Umstand insofern Rechnung getragen, als seit Februar 2009 sämtliche Bilder in einer niedrigen Webauflösung mittels Creative Commons (CC) BY-ND-NC über Google Bilder verfügbar sind. Allerdings entspricht diese restriktivste Form einer CC-Lizenzierung nicht der Berliner Erklärung und gilt nicht als Open Data, da sie die Nutzung einschränkt, beispielsweise indem sie Veränderungen (ND) oder kommerzielle Nutzung (NC) nicht zulässt. Das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek wurde ursprünglich als Bildagentur aufgebaut. Die Bilder werden abhängig nach Nutzungsart lizenziert. Dabei halten sich der Verwaltungsaufwand und der daraus entstehende Ertrag die Waage. Vorreiterinstitutionen wie die NASA, die Library of Congress oder das Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam stellen TIFF-Dateien in höchstmöglicher Auflösung zum freien Download bereit. Am 1. Januar 2015 wird das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek seine Bilddatenbank ebenfalls für den freien Download öffnen. Im Vortrag werden erste Erfahrungen des Bildarchivs mit Open Data sowie Umsetzungsfragen in technischer, rechtlicher und aus Nutzersicht diskutiert werde

description: Following cardiovascular events, individuals often make choices about their working life that pose fiscal costs for the government in relation to lost tax revenue, increasing disability or early retirement. We evaluate the fiscal consequences for the Australian Government in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients with low-density lipoprotein >3.3 mmol/L after the maximum tolerated doses of a statin or when contraindicated or intolerant to statins, compared to evolocumab added to the standard of care. The natural history of patients with ASCVD was evaluated using a multi-state Markov cohort model comparing evolocumab with current treatment practices. Published rates for the likelihood of being disabled and retiring prematurely in patients experiencing stroke or myocardial infarction were modeled. Reported government costs for annual disability payments and lost tax revenues from the nationally representative STINMOD + data set were used to estimate the fiscal consequences associated with attributable ASCVD events. The incremental tax gain associated with evolocumab in someone aged 40, 50 or 60 results in additional tax revenues of Aus$15,716, Aus$9,810 and Aus$4,217, respectively. Cost-savings attributed to disability payments of Aus$3,483, Aus$2,495 and Aus$4,619 were observed in those aged 40, 50 and 60, respectively. The ratio of evolocumab to fiscal benefits indicates that up to 52% of evolocumab costs are offset by future lifetime taxes paid and reduced social benefits payments in those treated aged 40. The ratio of fiscal benefits to costs in treating those aged 50 and 60 were 37% and 31%, respectively. Applying a cross-sectorial government perspective budget impact assessment improves our understanding of fiscal changes attributed to ASCVD based on changes in premature mortality and work activity and how this influences lifetime tax contributions and public benefits. The main cost driver observed was associated with reduced ASCVD events that enabled people to remain productive and paying taxes.

description: Im Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek wurde von Dezember 2009 bis Dezember 2013 ein erfolgreiches Projekt mit ehemaligen Mitarbeitenden der ehemaligen Luftfahrtgesellschaft Swissair durchgeführt. Aus dem Firmen-Bildarchiv der Swissair wurde eine Auswahl von 40‘000 Bildern digitalisiert und in Tranchen von 200 Bildern wöchentlich auf der eigenen Bilddatenbank online gestellt. Eine Gruppe von interessierten Swissair-Pensionären half regelmässig mit, diese Bilder online mit Metadaten und Kontextwissen anzureichern, Personen und Ereignisse, Flugzeugtypen und Flugzeuge zu identifizieren sowie die Bilder zu datieren. Im Vortrag werden erstens die im Projekt gemachten Erfahrungen kritisch berichtet: der Redaktionsworkflow, die Nutzerauthentifizierung und -verwaltung, der (unterschätzte) Betreuungsaufwand und die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit sowie wichtigste Ergebnisse, der allgemeine Nutzen und Mehrwert. Zweitens soll auch ein konzeptueller Ausblick auf künftige Crowdsourcing-Projekte des Bildarchivs der ETH-Bibliothek gegeben werden, unter Berücksichtigung der Fragestellung, ob weitere Online-Plattformen/Tools zum Einsatz kommen sollen oder nicht.

description: We present the design, simulation, and planned fabrication process of a flat high resistivity silicon gradient index (GRIN) lens for millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths with very low absorption losses. The gradient index is created by subwavelength holes whose size increases with the radius of the lens. The effective refractive index created by the subwavelength holes is constant over a very wide bandwidth, allowing the fabrication of achromatic lenses up to submillimeter wavelengths. The designed GRIN lens was successfully simulated and shows an expected efficiency better than that of a classic silicon plano-concave spherical lens with approximately the same thickness and focal length. Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and wafer-bonding of several patterned wafers will be used to realize our first GRIN lens prototype.

description: Manual circular staplers are widely used in colorectal surgery; however, limited literature exists examining complications related to circular anastomoses when such devices are used. The present study evaluated the incidence, predictors, and economic burden of circular anastomotic complications in left-sided colorectal reconstructions involving manual circular staplers. Patients aged ≥18 years who underwent hemicolectomy, low anterior resection, or sigmoidectomy between 1 October 2016 and 31 December 2018 were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database. Manual circular stapler use was identified from hospital administrative billing records. Circular anastomotic complications were defined as a composite endpoint of multiple circular stapler use (proxy for stapler failure) or other circular anastomotic complications (anastomotic leak, bleeding, device/surgical complications, infection, and transfusion). Multivariable analyses were used to model the associations between circular anastomotic complications and total hospital costs, length of stay, operating room time, and 30-, 60-, and 90-day readmission rates. A total of 13,167 patients met the study criteria, of whom 2,984 (22.7%) had circular anastomotic complications. Predictors of circular anastomotic complications included age, procedure type, provider region, and select patient comorbidities. As compared with those who did not, patients who suffered circular anastomotic complications had significantly higher adjusted total hospital costs ($26,924 vs. $18,748; p p p p p p p The present study is limited by the observational nature and potential for measurement error that is inherent to administrative healthcare databases. In this analysis of patients undergoing left-sided colorectal reconstructions involving a manual circular stapler, circular anastomotic complications were associated with adverse economic consequences.

description: Multi-threaded programs are challenging to write. Developers often need to reason about a prohibitively large number of thread interleavings to reason about the behavior of software. A non-interference property like atomicity can reduce this interleaving space by ensuring that any execution is equivalent to an execution where all atomic blocks are executed serially. We consider the well studied notion of conflict serializability for dynamically checking atomicity. Existing algorithms detect violations of conflict serializability by detecting cycles in a graph of transactions observed in a given execution. The number of edges in such a graph can grow quadratically with the length of the trace making the analysis not scalable. In this paper, we present AeroDrome, a novel single pass linear time algorithm that uses vector clocks to detect violations of conflict serializability in an online setting. Experiments show that AeroDrome scales to traces with a large number of events with significant speedup.

description: Nach dem erfolgreichen Crowdsourcing-Projekt mit Swissair-Pensionären (2009–2013) richtete das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek Ende 2015 auf seiner Bilddatenbank eine allgemein zugängliche Kommentarfunktion ein. Diese einfache Kommentarfunktion allein sorgte noch nicht für viele Rückmeldungen. Hingegen löste ein Artikel in der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) vom 18. Januar 2016 ein grosses Medienecho aus und rief viele Freiwillige auf den Plan, die mithelfen, Bilder zu identifizieren. Bis November 2016 beteiligten sich rund 661 unterschiedliche Freiwillige (90 % Männer) am Crowdsourcing. Mittels rund 8.000 eingegangener Hinweise konnten fast 6.000 Bilder verbessert bzw. erst gar identifiziert werden. Die Top Ten unter den Freiwilligen lieferte zusammen 56 % aller Hinweise. Die Pflege der Community ist ein zentraler Punkt für den Erfolg von Crowdsourcing-Initiativen. Die wichtigsten Instrumente, die im Bildarchiv erprobt werden, werden vorgestellt und diskutiert. Um die unbekannte Crowd besser kennenzulernen, wird zudem im Winter 2016 eine Online-Umfrage zu Motivation, Arbeitstechniken und soziodemografischem Hintergrund bei der Crowd durchgeführt werden. Die Resultate dieser Umfrage werden präsentiert.

description: We study the dynamics of dipolar Bose polarons in the presence of the normal and anomalous fluctuations using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. The density profiles of the condensate, the anomalous component and the impurity are deeply analyzed. The time evolution of the width and the center-of-mass oscillation of such quantities is also highlighted. We calculate corrections due to quantum fluctuations and impurity to the chemical potential and the radius of the condensate and of the anomalous component in the weak coupling regime using the Thomas-Fermi approximation. Effects of the dipole-dipole interaction, impurity-host interaction and the anomalous fluctuation on the width and on the breathing frequencies of the impurity are discussed by variational and numerical means.

description: The search of topological states in non-Hermitian systems has gained a strong momentum over the last two years climbing to the level of an emergent research front. In this Perspective we give an overview with a focus in connecting this topic to others like Floquet systems. Furthermore, using a simple scattering picture we discuss an interpretation of concepts like the Hamiltonian's defectiveness, i.e. the lack of a full basis of eigenstates, crucial in many discussions of topological phases of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.

description: A new type of chromospheric jets in a polar limb of a coronal hole is discovered in the Ca II filtergram of the Solar Optical Telescope on board the \textit{Hinode}. We identify 30 jets in the Ca II movie of duration of 53 min. The average speed at their maximum heights is found to be 132$\pm$44 km s$^{-1}$ ranging from 57 km s$^{-1}$ to 264 km s$^{-1}$ along the propagation direction. The average lifetime is 20$\pm$6 ranging from 11 seconds to 36 seconds. The speed and lifetime of the jets are located at end-tails of those parameters determined for type II spicules, hence implying a new type of jets. To confirm whether these jets are different from conventional spicules, we construct a time-height image averaged over horizontal region of 1$\arcsec$, and calculate lagged cross-correlations of intensity profiles at each height with the intensity at 2 Mm. From this, we obtain a cross-correlation map as a function of lag and height. We find that the correlation curve as a function of lag time is well fitted into three different Gaussian functions whose standard deviations of the lag time are 193 seconds, 42 seconds, and 17 seconds. The corresponding propagation speeds are calculated to be 9 km s$^{-1}$, 67 km s$^{-1}$, and 121 km s$^{-1}$, respectively. The kinematic properties of the former two components seem to correspond to the 3 minutes oscillations and type II spicules, while the latter component to the jets addressed in this study.

description: A linear operator in a Hilbert space defined through the form of Riesz representation naturally introduces a reproducing kernel Hilbert space structure over the range space. Such formulation, called H-HK formulation in this paper, possesses a built-in mechanism to solve some basic type problems in the formulation by using the basis method, that include identification of the range space, the inversion problem, and the Moore-Penrose pseudo- (generalized) inversion problem. After a quick survey of the existing theory, the aim of the article is to establish connection between this formulation with sparse series representation, and in particular with one called pre-orthogonal adaptive Fourier decomposition (POAFD), the latter being one, most recent and well developed, with great efficiency and wide and deep connections with traditional analysis. Within the matching pursuit methodology the optimality of POAFD is theoretically guaranteed. In practice POAFD offers fast converging numerical solutions.

description: We discuss the extension of the field theoretical approach, already used in the lattice determination of the topological susceptibility, to the computation of further terms in the expansion of the ground state energy $F(θ)$ around $θ= 0$ in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories. In particular we determine the fourth order term in the expansion for SU(3) pure gauge theory and compare our results with previous cooling determinations. In the last part of the paper we make some considerations about the nature of the ultraviolet fluctuations responsible for the renormalization of the lattice topological charge correlation functions; in particular we propose and test an ansatz which leads to improved estimates of the fourth and higher order terms in the expansion of F(θ).

description: A pecuária de corte no estado do Rio Grande do Sul apresenta inúmeras dificuldades, tanto no ponto de vista produtivo como econômico. Uma das ferramentas mais utilizadas para a verificação da rentabilidade econômica das propriedades rurais é a análise de custos que permite diagnosticar a condição financeira enfrentada pelas empresas rurais. Diversos fatores influem na obtenção de receita ao longo do ano por parte dos pecuaristas, fazendo com que a análise do fluxo de caixa dentro das propriedades se torne indispensável para a melhor distribuição da rentabilidade. O objetivo do presente trabalho é confrontar a renda bruta e o fluxo de caixa, em duas propriedades que desenvolvem a pecuária de corte de ciclo completo no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, nos anos de 2003, 2004 e 2005 além de analisar a composição percentual dos componentes de seus custos variáveis. As duas propriedades apresentaram saldo positivo no final dos três anos pesquisados, com a fazenda 1 obtendo margem bruta ha-1 de R$1,21, R$1,01 e R$ 4,05 e a fazenda 2 de R$4,58, R$6,44 e R$6,56 nos anos de 2003, 2004 e 2005 respectivamente. Ao observarmos o fluxo de caixa da fazenda 1, podemos visualizar que a propriedade trabalhou com saldo negativo durante 6 meses nos três anos pesquisados. A fazenda 2 apresentou apenas 3 meses em cada ano de saldo negativo no fluxo de caixa. A fazenda 1 concentrou seu custo, nos dois primeiros anos analisados, em mão de obra, insumos veterinários, comissões e compra de touros. Durante o ano de 2005 obteve custo maior com o arrendamento e o pagamento de empréstimos adquiridos nos dois anos anteriores. A Fazenda 2 apresenta seu custo distribuído principalmente na lavoura de arroz, na parte pecuária os gastos com mão de obra e a nutrição representaram o maior percentual. Os resultados mostram que sem modernização na pecuária, ou uma integração com a agricultura, torna-se difícil remunerar todos os fatores de produção. O planejamento permite uma melhor distribuição de obtenção de receitas reduzindo os meses de fluxo de caixa negativo.

O OP também não envolveu as organizações rurais em nenhuma etapa de seu processo, mostrando uma desarticulação entre a Prefeitura e essas, segmento tão imprescindível no programa, pois atuariam como mediadoras entre o Poder Público e a Sociedade Civil. ---------------------------------------------------------- This survey analyzes the relation between Participatory Budget (PB) and Social Capital, based on participation of the organizations on the changing process of civic behavior of their delegates. The conclusions was made by this Case Study at 8 rural communities of Jacarei city allows us to affirm that PB was not able to produce changing at civic comportment of delegates and interviewed participants, viewed by civic participation, political equality, solidarity, confidence and tolerance indicators. This make us conclude that PB does not involve rural organizations at any process step, presenting a real disarticulation between the Public Administration and the rural organizations, although these organizations would be very important in this process as intermediary between government and civic society.

description: In a graph, nodes can be characterized locally (with their degree $k$) or globally (e.g. with their average length path $ξ$ to other nodes). Here we investigate how $ξ$ depends on $k$. Our earlier algorithm of the construction of the distance matrix is applied to the random graphs. Numerical calculations are performed for the random graphs and the growing networks: the scale-free ones and the exponential ones. The results are relevant for search strategies in different networks.

ERSCHLIESSUNG UND KLASSIFIKATION VON DOKUMENTEN (BIBLIOTHEKSWESEN)

description: Im Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek wurde von Dezember 2009 bis Dezember 2013 ein erfolgreiches Projekt mit ehemaligen Mitarbeitenden der ehemaligen Luftfahrtgesellschaft Swissair durchgeführt. Aus dem Firmen-Bildarchiv der Swissair wurde eine Auswahl von 40‘000 Bildern digitalisiert und in Tranchen von 200 Bildern wöchentlich auf der eigenen Bilddatenbank online gestellt. Eine Gruppe von interessierten Swissair-Pensionären half regelmässig mit, diese Bilder online mit Metadaten und Kontextwissen anzureichern, Personen und Ereignisse, Flugzeugtypen und Flugzeuge zu identifizieren sowie die Bilder zu datieren. Im Vortrag werden erstens die im Projekt gemachten Erfahrungen kritisch berichtet: der Redaktionsworkflow, die Nutzerauthentifizierung und -verwaltung, der (unterschätzte) Betreuungsaufwand und die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit sowie wichtigste Ergebnisse, der allgemeine Nutzen und Mehrwert. Zweitens soll auch ein konzeptueller Ausblick auf künftige Crowdsourcing-Projekte des Bildarchivs der ETH-Bibliothek gegeben werden, unter Berücksichtigung der Fragestellung, ob weitere Online-Plattformen/Tools zum Einsatz kommen sollen oder nicht.

description: The boundary stress tensor approach has proven extremely useful in defining mass and angular momentum in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces with CFT duals. An integral part of this method is the use of boundary counterterms to regulate the gravitational action and stress tensor. In addition to the standard gravitational counterterms, in the presence of matter we advocate the use of a finite counterterm proportional to phi^2 (in five dimensions). We demonstrate that this finite shift is necessary to properly reproduce the expected mass/charge relation for R-charged black holes in AdS_5.

Georeferenzierung

description: Das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek setzt seit fast zehn Jahren mit Erfolg Crowdsourcing in der Bildererschliessung ein. Allein seit Januar 2016 haben über 850 Freiwillige etwa 31'000 Bildtitel identifiziert resp. verbessert, indem sie dem Bildarchiv spezifischere Informationen und Kontextwissen über die Kommentar-Funktion der Bilddatenbank zurückmeldeten. Ab 1. Februar 2018 wird das Bildarchiv nun einen Schritt weiter gehen: Über die Publikation von Bildern auf der neuen und innovativen Online-Plattform sMapshot kann die Crowd zusätzliche Metadaten beisteuern. sMapshot ist eine partizipative und kollaborative Plattform für die Geolokalisierung von Bildern. Mit dem notwendigen lokalen geografischen Wissen können historische Bilder der Schweiz in einem virtuellen 3D-Globus der Gegenwart punktgenau platziert werden. Auf dieser Basis werden im Hintergrund wertvolle Metadaten wie die ursprüngliche Aufnahmeposition, der Kamerawinkel sowie die Aufnahmehöhe berechnet. So wird auch das aufwendige Beschreiben bspw. von ganzen Bergketten mittels exakter Metadatenextraktion vorgenommen. sMapshot ist ein Projekt der Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Ingenieurwissenschaften des Kantons Waadt (HEIG-VD). Die Plattform wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek weiter ausgebaut. So stehen Funktionalitäten wie ein Dashbord, die Benutzerstatistik oder ein ausbaufähiges Rollen- und Rechtemanagement zur Verfügung, bei dem ggf. Poweruser aus der Crowd in die internen Validierungsprozesse integriert werden könnten. Im Vortrag werden erste Erfahrungen der technischen Umsetzung sowie Erfahrungen aus Nutzersicht diskutiert werden.

description: To assess the real-world healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs associated with different proteasome inhibitors (PIs) for the treatment of patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in Germany. We conducted a retrospective medical chart review of treatment patterns, outcomes, and HRU for patients with RRMM treated with bortezomib, carfilzomib, or ixazomib in second- or third-line (2L or 3L) therapy in Germany. Data were collected between 1 January 2017 and 30 June 2017. Costs were calculated based on drug prices and unit costs in Germany. Physicians provided data on 302 patients. Mean monthly total direct costs per patient receiving PI-based therapy were €7,925 and €10,693 for 2L and 3L, respectively, of which approximately 90% was anti-myeloma drug costs. Overall, the highest costs were associated with patients receiving 3L therapy. Regardless of treatment line, costs were higher for patients who had received a stem cell transplant (SCT) in a previous treatment line than for those who had not; the data suggest that this reflects the use of triplet regimens following a SCT. Patients with a complete response (CR) experienced no unplanned hospitalizations during the study period, whereas patients with progressive disease experienced the highest number of unplanned and planned hospitalizations. In 2L therapy, the highest proportion of patients with a CR was observed in those receiving carfilzomib (12% carfilzomib; 4% bortezomib; 0% ixazomib). Patients with missing or incomplete follow-up data were included in the study and were accounted for using monthly cost estimates. Anti-myeloma drugs were the main contributor to total HRU costs associated with RRMM in Germany. Improved treatment response was associated with lower costs and reduced hospitalizations.

description: We propose the first fast and certifiable algorithm for the registration of two sets of 3D points in the presence of large amounts of outlier correspondences. We first reformulate the registration problem using a Truncated Least Squares (TLS) cost that is insensitive to a large fraction of spurious correspondences. Then, we provide a general graph-theoretic framework to decouple scale, rotation, and translation estimation, which allows solving in cascade for the three transformations. Despite the fact that each subproblem is still non-convex and combinatorial in nature, we show that (i) TLS scale and (component-wise) translation estimation can be solved in polynomial time via adaptive voting, (ii) TLS rotation estimation can be relaxed to a semidefinite program (SDP) and the relaxation is tight, even in the presence of extreme outlier rates, and (iii) the graph-theoretic framework allows drastic pruning of outliers by finding the maximum clique. We name the resulting algorithm TEASER (Truncated least squares Estimation And SEmidefinite Relaxation). While solving large SDP relaxations is typically slow, we develop a second fast and certifiable algorithm, named TEASER++, that uses graduated non-convexity to solve the rotation subproblem and leverages Douglas-Rachford Splitting to efficiently certify global optimality. For both algorithms, we provide theoretical bounds on the estimation errors, which are the first of their kind for robust registration problems. Moreover, we test their performance on standard, object detection, and the 3DMatch benchmarks, and show that (i) both algorithms dominate the state of the art and are robust to more than 99% outliers, (ii) TEASER++ can run in milliseconds, and (iii) TEASER++ is so robust it can also solve problems without correspondences, where it largely outperforms ICP and it is more accurate than Go-ICP while being orders of magnitude faster.

description: In this study, the statistical information of 166 park Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in China, such as investment, area, project stage, and locality area, was collected to analyze types of clusters and defined five types. For each type of cluster, it was possible to analyze the merits of park PPP projects in China. The case study also revealed the construction process of the entities that build, manage and operate the projects. With the findings from the analysis, it can present a perspective on Japan and China and compare park Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and PPP projects between Japan and China.
The Effect of Scattering on Pulsar Polarization Angle

Year: 2003

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The low-frequency profiles of some pulsars manifest temporal broadening due to scattering, usually accompanied by flat polarization position angle (PA) curves. Assuming that the scattering works on the 4 Stokes parameters in the same way, we have simulated the effect of scattering on polarization profiles and find that the scattering can indeed flatten the PA curves. Since the higher-frequency profiles suffer less from scattering, they are convolved with scattering models to fit the observed low-frequency profiles. The calculated flat PA curves exactly reproduce the corresponding observations.
