RR-DnCNN v2.0: Enhanced Restoration-Reconstruction Deep Neural Network for Down-Sampling Based Video Coding

description: Integrating deep learning techniques into the video coding framework gains significant improvement compared to the standard compression techniques, especially applying super-resolution (up-sampling) to down-sampling based video coding as post-processing. However, besides up-sampling degradation, the various artifacts brought from compression make super-resolution problem more difficult to solve. The straightforward solution is to integrate the artifact removal techniques before super-resolution. However, some helpful features may be removed together, degrading the super-resolution performance. To address this problem, we proposed an end-to-end restoration-reconstruction deep neural network (RR-DnCNN) using the degradation-aware technique, which entirely solves degradation from compression and sub-sampling. Besides, we proved that the compression degradation produced by Random Access configuration is rich enough to cover other degradation types, such as Low Delay P and All Intra, for training. Since the straightforward network RR-DnCNN with many layers as a chain has poor learning capability suffering from the gradient vanishing problem, we redesign the network architecture to let reconstruction leverages the captured features from restoration using up-sampling skip connections. Our novel architecture is called restoration-reconstruction u-shaped deep neural network (RR-DnCNN v2.0). As a result, our RR-DnCNN v2.0 outperforms the previous works and can attain 17.02% BD-rate reduction on UHD resolution for all-intra anchored by the standard H.265/HEVC.

description: As in the social innovation literature, the role of initiators / agentic engines is highlighted, the purpose of the paper is to deepen the understanding of initiators in the social innovation process and to further develop its evaluation. Accepting that the role of individuals is one of the most important aspects of the social innovation process, the main question posed in this study is how to develop the evaluation of this aspect further, and how to make it more objective. To get a deeper understanding of agentic engines, beyond literature review a group profile of selected social innovators is analysed. The results are based on their Profile XT personal competence assessments (provided by Profiles International Hungary) as well as in-depth interviews with them. The research reveals four elements for rating initiators: having a vision (purpose driven), being interested in serving people (Relationship System Intelligence), being proactive (positive attitude) and having a diverse network (outsider and insider).

description: In the programming period 2014-2020 the LEADER Local Action Groups (LAG) are facing new challenges in finding new ways for effective planning, management and creating synergies to be prepared for the implementation of multi-funded community-led local development approach. The Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism of Szent István University carried out several landscape planning processes on rural areas with strong territorial focus, handling environmental and societal conflicts in a sustainable manner in the course of its educational programme. The Faculty members and the LAG for Living Balaton Uplands (Éltető Balaton-felvidékért Helyi Akciócsoport) have established a flourishing partnership to share information and gain practice in landscape based planning management and science communication among all the actors of rural development such as farmers, business people, local government, civil organizations, and of science, including researchers, planners and advisors. In our paper we highlight the results and experiences of this multiple co-operation in complex and integrated rural development planning process in two pilot micro-regions in Hungary.

description: We study the problem of separating E and B modes in interferometric observations of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The E and B band powers and their mixings are measured from both single-dish and interferometric mock observations using the quadratic estimator of the maximum likelihood analysis. We find that the interferometer can separate E and B modes in a single-pointing measurement and is thus well suited for detecting the faint lensing induced and gravity-wave induced B modes. In mosaicking observation, compared to the single dish, the interferometer is in general more efficient in separating E and B modes, and for high signal-to-noise per pixel it needs about three times fewer pixels to measure extremely blue polarization power spectra.

description: After Poland’s accession to the European Union, there was an accelerated process of diversification of the income situation of farms in Poland. Many of them have problems to make a living from agricultural production. At the same time, the problem and the scale of the whole society becomes a demand for care in old age. This article describes the possibility of providing care on farms in the formula of care farm. The various forms of care farms quoted in the article are part of a wider trend of social farming. The first attempt to create a Polish care farm in Tuchola Forest offers hope for real development of this form of economic activity in the country.

description: In this article, a multi–armed bandit problem is studied in an explore–then–commit setting where the cost of pulling an arm in the experimentation (exploration) phase may not be negligible. Identifying the best arm after a pure experimentation phase to exploit it once or for a given finite number of times is the goal of the problem. Applications of this are prevalent in personalized health-care and financial investments where the frequency of exploitation is limited. In this setting, we observe that pulling the arm with the highest expected reward is not necessarily the most desirable objective for exploitation. Alternatively, we advocate the idea of risk aversion, where the objective is to compete against the arm with the best risk–return trade–off. Additionally, a trade–off between cost and regret should be considered in the case where pulling arms in the exploration phase incurs a cost. In the case that the exploration cost is not considered, we propose a class of hyper–parameter–free risk–averse algorithms, called OTE/FTE–MAB (One/Finite–Time Exploitation Multi–Armed Bandit), whose objectives are to select the arm that is most probable to reward the most in a single or finite–time exploitations. To analyze these algorithms, we define a new notion of finite–time exploitation regret for our setting of interest. We provide an upper bound of order ln (1∈r) for the minimum number of experiments that should be done to guarantee upper bound er for regret. As compared with existing risk–averse bandit algorithms, our algorithms do not rely on hyper–parameters, resulting in a more robust behavior in practice. In the case that pulling an arm in the exploration phase has a cost, we propose the c–OTE–MAB algorithm for two–armed bandits that addresses the cost–regret trade–off, corresponding to exploration–exploitation trade–off, by minimizing a linear combination of cost and regret that is called cost– regret function, using a hyper–parameter. This algorithm determines an estimation of the optimal number of explorations whose cost–regret value approaches the minimum value of the cost–regret function at the rate 1ne with an associated confidence level, where ne is the number of explorations of each arm.

description: Agroforestry can be applied to all agricultural systems, in all parts of Europe. Europe has a unique heritage of traditional agroforestry systems with a high environmental and cultural value and high potential for innovative modern agroforestry systems developed by research centres across Europe during the last two decades. In recent years, following scientific research, the development of structures and professional experiments in agroforestry has gained national and European recognition. In some European countries, namely Belgium, France and the UK, professional organisations and training organisations have begun to reintroduce agroforestry with training of agricultural students and adults in further education. The main objective of the AgroFE and Agrof-MM projects is to develop an agroforestry training system based on a common framework and core content, and to promote training at European level. The knowledge databank is a component of the project training system. It aims to gather and share a set of documents, resources that partners can use and which will have been accessed by learners and the public users. The core content of different levels of training and the knowledge databank has been developed and the distribution of the results are in progress across Europe by innovative ICT tools.

description: Spectral densities are calculated for the dimerized and frustrated S=1/2 chain using the method of continuous unitary transformations (CUTs). The transformation to an effective triplon model is realized in a perturbative fashion up to high orders about the limit of isolated dimers. An efficient description in terms of triplons (elementary triplets) is possible: a detailed analysis of the spectral densities is provided for strong and intermediate dimerization including the influence of frustration. Precise predictions are made for inelastic neutron scattering experiments probing the S=1 sector and for optical experiments (Raman scattering, infrared absorption) probing the S=0 sector. Bound states and resonances influence the important continua strongly. The comparison with the field theoretic results reveals that the sine-Gordon model describes the low-energy features for strong to intermediate dimerization only at critical frustration.

description: We propose PLLay, a novel topological layer for general deep learning models based on persistence landscapes, in which we can efficiently exploit the underlying topological features of the input data structure. In this work, we show differentiability with respect to layer inputs, for a general persistent homology with arbitrary filtration. Thus, our proposed layer can be placed anywhere in the network and feed critical information on the topological features of input data into subsequent layers to improve the learnability of the networks toward a given task. A task-optimal structure of PLLay is learned during training via backpropagation, without requiring any input featurization or data preprocessing. We provide a novel adaptation for the DTM function-based filtration, and show that the proposed layer is robust against noise and outliers through a stability analysis. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by classification experiments on various datasets.

description: In the recent period, public actions and policies have been increasingly oriented towards the improvement of economic competitiveness on account of numerous studies that signal the problems generated by the loss of performance from this perspective. This study attempts to identify the main factors that make the regional economies in Romania vulnerable in the face of competitors, mainly for the regions with strong and medium rurality features, i.e. the Predominantly rural (PR) counties and the Intermediate counties – classified according to the OECD methodology. The results of the study showed that the factors that largely contribute to widening the regional disparities with regard to rural competitiveness, making the PR counties more vulnerable are the following: (i) access to innovation and (2) the value of exports, in both the non-agricultural and agrifood economy.

description: Poland’s accession to the European Union has had a significant effect on the socio-economic situation of rural dwellers. The quality of life in rural areas is worse than in the cities, which is primarily due to lower income of rural residents. Also, the level of expenditure is lower, mainly with respect to higher needs. The equipment of households with basic technical installations and durable goods, especially modern, is also worse in rural areas than in the urban areas. The rural population evaluates subjectively their quality of life as worse than the urban population and they also believe that the ability to satisfy their needs is worse than in the cities. Rural development policy should continue pursuing actions contributing to the development of entrepreneurship, renewal and development of villages, in order to ensure sustainable development of rural areas, also with regard to technical infrastructure, which contributes to improvement in the living conditions and the conditions of business operations of the inhabitants of rural areas. This will contribute to bridging a gap of economic and social disparities between urban and rural population.

description: Additional file 7: Figure S7. Elevation of Fst Within Inversions. Fst between pure Aaa and Aaf colonies was calculated in 1mb windows across the genome and windows that contained either an entire microinverisons or a larger inversion breakpoint were compared to a set of artificial inversions constructed of ‘breakpoints’ containing similar levels of TEs and repeats. Fst was compared between categories via Wilcoxon rank-sum test. A) Of the 32 inversions 4 (shown in red) showed significantly elevated levels of Fst indicating a higher degree of differentiation between subspecies; three on chromosome one, the fourth inversion showing elevated Fst is 3Qau, containing 10 genes, 8 of which are odorant binding proteins previously seen to be differentiated between the two subspecies. B) categories of inversions: macroinversions, microinversions without genes, with one gene, and with many genes, were compared to artificial inversions; while polygenic inversions did show elevated Fst compared to artificial inversions, there was no significant difference found when comparing 0 and 1-gene microinversions to polygenic microinversions.

description: Using a Schmidt orthogonalization transformation, a family of Hermitian low-momentum NN interactions is derived from the non-Hermitian Lee-Suzuki (LS) low-momentum NN interaction. As special cases, our transformation reproduces the Hermitian interactions for Okubo and Andreozzi. Aside from their common preservation of the deuteron binding energy, these Hermitian interactions are shown to be phase shift equivalent, all preserving the empirical phase shifts up to decimation scale Lambda. Employing a solvable matrix model, the Hermitian interactions given by different orthogonalization transformations are studied; the interactions can be very different from each other particularly when there is a strong intruder state influence. However, because the parent LS low-momentum NN interaction is only slightly non-Hermitian, the Hermitian low-momentum nucleon interactions given by our transformations, including the Okubo and Andreozzi ones, are all rather similar to each other. Shell model matrix elements given by the LS and several Hermitian low-momentum interactions are compared.

description: Quantum devices for generating entangled states have been extensively studied and widely used. As so, it becomes necessary to verify that these devices truly work reliably and efficiently as they are specified. Here, we experimentally realize the recently proposed two-qubit entangled state verification strategies using both local measurements (nonadaptive) and active feed-forward operations (adaptive) with a photonic platform. About 3283/536 number of copies ($N$) are required to achieve a 99% confidence to verify the target quantum state for nonadaptive/adaptive strategies. These optimal strategies provide the Heisenberg scaling of the infidelity $ε$ as a function of $N$ ($ε$ $\sim$ $N^r$) with the parameter $r=-1$, exceeding the standard quantum limit with $r=-0.5$. We experimentally obtain the scaling parameter of $r=-0.88\pm$0.03 and $-0.78\pm$0.07 for nonadaptive and adaptive strategies, respectively. Our experimental work could serve as a standardized procedure for the verification of quantum states.

description: Using the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope, we have obtained F110W (J-band) and F160W (H-band) images of three fields in NGC3379, a nearby normal giant elliptical galaxy. These images resolve individual red giant stars, yielding the first accurate color-magnitude diagrams for a normal luminous elliptical. The photometry reaches 1 magnitude below the red giant branch tip with errors of < 0.2 mags in F110W-F160W. A strong break in the luminosity function at F160W = 23.68 +/- 0.06 is identified as the tip of the red giant branch (RGB); comparison with theoretical isochrones implies a distance of 10.8 +/- 0.6 Mpc, in good agreement with a number of previous estimates using various techniques. The mean metallicity is close to solar, but there is an appreciable spread in abundance, from at least as metal poor as [Fe/H] = -1.5 to as high as +0.8. There is a significant population of stars brighter than the RGB tip by up to about 1 magnitude. The observations of each field were split over two epochs, separated by 2-3 months, allowing the identification of candidate long period variables; at least 40% of the stars brighter than the RGB tip are variable. Lacking period determinations, the exact nature of these variables remains uncertain, but the bright AGB stars and variables are similar to those found in metal rich globular clusters and are not luminous enough to imply an intermediate age population. All of the evidence points to a stellar population in NGC3379 which is very similar to the bulge of the Milky Way, or an assortment of Galactic globular clusters covering a large metallicity spread.

description: Right ventricular (RV) intrinsic contractility and its response to afterload defined as pulmonary arterial (PA) elastance, is referred to as RV-PA coupling. RV contractility can be estimated by end-systolic elastance (Ees), the slope of the line through the end-systolic pressure-volume point. Afterload or arterial elastance (Ea) can be estimated from RV end-systolic pressure divided by stroke volume. A ratio of Ees/Ea of 1.5-2 reflects an optimal balance between RV mechanical work and oxygen consumption. In left-sided heart failure (HF), chronically elevated left‐sided filling pressures result in secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). In the early stages of PH, RV contractility and load are adequately coupled through mainly RV hypertrophy, but as the disease advances, ventricular dilatation and failure takes place. The degree of RV coupling (or lack thereof) to the pulmonary circulation can be measured either invasively or through noninvasive imaging. Several non-invasive surrogate indexes for Ees and Ea have been associated with decreased functional status and mortality in patients with HF and valvular disease.

description: The magnetization curves and magnetocaloric effect during the adiabatic demagnetization of antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 $XXZ$ Heisenberg clusters with the shape of Johnson's solids (triangular cupola, square cupola and pentagonal cupola) are investigated using the exact numerical diagonalization for different values of the exchange anisotropy ranging in between the Ising and fully isotropic limit. It is demonstrated that spin-1/2 $XXZ$ Heisenberg cupolae display, in comparison with their Ising counterparts, at least one more magnetization plateau. The novel magnetization plateaux extends over a wider range of the magnetic fields with increasing of a quantum part of the $XXZ$ exchange coupling at the expense of the original plateaux present in the limiting Ising case. It is shown that the spin-1/2 $XXZ$ Heisenberg triangular and pentagonal cupolae exhibit an enhanced magnetocaloric effect in the vicinity of zero magnetic field, which makes these magnetic systems promising refrigerants for cooling down to ultra-low zero temperatures.

description: We present observations of the starburst galaxy NGC 7714 with the Infrared Spectrograph IRS on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The spectra yield a wealth of ionic and molecular features that allow a detailed characterization of its properties. NGC 7714 has an HII region-like spectrum with strong PAH emission features. We find no evidence for an obscured active galactic nucleus, and with [NeIII]/[NeII]~0.73, NGC7714 lies near the upper end of normal-metallicity starburst galaxies. With very little slicate absorption and a temperature of the hottest dust component of 340K, NGC 7714 is the perfect template for a young, unobscured starburst

description: In recent years, several different strategies have emerged for evolving the magnetic field in numerical MHD. Some of these methods can be classified as divergence-cleaning schemes, where one evolves the magnetic field components just like any other variable in a higher order Godunov scheme. The fact that the magnetic field is divergence-free is imposed post-facto via a divergence-cleaning step. Other schemes for evolving the magnetic field rely on a staggered mesh formulation which is inherently divergence-free. The claim has been made that the two approaches are equivalent. In this paper we cross-compare three divergence-cleaning schemes based on scalar and vector divergence-cleaning and a popular divergence-free scheme. All schemes are applied to the same stringent test problem. Several deficiencies in all the divergence-cleaning schemes become clearly apparent with the scalar divergence-cleaning schemes performing worse than the vector divergence-cleaning scheme. The vector divergence-cleaning scheme also shows some deficiencies relative to the staggered mesh divergence-free scheme. The differences can be explained by realizing that all the divergence-cleaning schemes are based on a Poisson solver which introduces a non-locality into the scheme, though other subtler points of difference are also catalogued. By using several diagnostics that are routinely used in the study of turbulence, it is shown that the differences in the schemes produce measurable differences in physical quantities that are of interest in such studies.

description: Background: The optimal strategy for large bore vascular closure following TAVR is a matter of contention as major bleeding and vascular complications remain a challenge. We compared three strategies for post-TAVR vascular closure in terms of safety and efficacy: a dual ProGlide-based strategy, a hybrid strategy of ProGlide and Angio-Seal, and a MANTA strategy. Methods: Patients were enrolled in one of the three strategies: two ProGlides, a single ProGlide with an 8 F Angio-Seal, or a single 18 F MANTA. Results: In total, 172 patients were enrolled in this study: 86 in the MANTA group, 40 in the ProGlide/Angio-Seal group, 46 in the dual ProGlide group. Hemostasis was achieved in 95% of patients. MANTA was associated with vessel occlusion in 2% of cases. The dual ProGlide group required an extra device to achieve hemostasis in 35% of cases. Conclusion: The three strategies of MANTA, dual ProGlides, or ProGlide/Angio-Seal are all effective, but there are important differences between them which mandate careful consideration by operators.

description: Additional file 5: Figure S5. All Applied Introgression Tests. Patterson’s D was used to assess introgression between a potential introgressing clade and pair of putative sister clades, with an outgroup used to determine derived alleles for the other three clades; 5a) introgression into individual colonies was compared by applying Patterson’s D statistic to each colony as compared to the other two colonies of the same subspecies (e.g we examined Aaf introgression into Kenya_Aaa vs Thai_Aaa + USA_Aaa using Ae. mascarensis as the outgroup). Specific tests applied are given in figures i,iii,v, and the results for each shown in figs ii,iv,vi. Significance was tested by block jackknifing. 5b) The same test was applied to introgression between mascarensis and any individual population (i-iv), as well as between Ae mascarensis and all Aaf or Aaa populations (v-vi); all inter-specific tests used Ae albopictus as the outgroup. 5c) Significant introgression was detected in between Aaf and Kenya_Aaa, between Aaa and Kenya_Aaf, indicating bidirectional introgression between the two subspecies in Kenya. Martin’s fD statistic was applied to identify specific introgressed loci in these two populations and was also applied to testing for Aaf introgression into the ‘hybrid’ population in this region. 5d) significant introgression was also detected between Ae. mascarensis and global Aaa populations. Notably one fD peaks at the distal end of chromosome 2q appeared to have introgressed between Aaa and Kenya_Aaf and Aaa and Ae mascarensis.
