description: In recent years, the field of antiferromagnetic spintronics has been substantially advanced. Electric-field control is a promising approach to achieving ultra-low power spintronic devices via suppressing Joule heating. In this article, cutting-edge research, including electric-field modulation of antiferromagnetic spintronic devices using strain, ionic liquids, dielectric materials, and electrochemical ionic migration, are comprehensively reviewed. Various emergent topics such as the Neel spin-orbit torque, chiral spintronics, topological antiferromagnetic spintronics, anisotropic magnetoresistance, memory devices, two-dimensional magnetism, and magneto-ionic modulation with respect to antiferromagnets are examined. In conclusion, we envision the possibility of realizing high-quality room-temperature antiferromagnetic tunnel junctions, antiferromagnetic spin logic devices, and artificial antiferromagnetic neurons. It is expected that this work provides an appropriate and forward-looking perspective that will promote the rapid development of this field.

title: Resilient Golf Course Design: Renovating Eaglewood Golf Course to Improve Stormwater Management & Increase Wildlife Habitat
Creators: name: Cook, Foster
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: The Earth is experiencing climatic changes globally, influencing issues such as reduced water availability, loss of native habitats for flora and fauna, increased resource demand and consumption by humans, continued dependency on carbon-based energy, rapid population growth and rising global temperatures. In order to combat and mitigate these issues, changes to our design habits will be required. Historically, golf courses have been viewed negatively with regard to environmental impacts, due to excessive water use, reliance on herbicides and pesticides and the carbon footprint associated with mowing. However, recent studies have shown that golf courses have the potential to positively impact their environment by recreating native habitats and providing on-site stormwater management to reduce water needs (Kohler, Poole, Reicher, & Turco, 2004) (Hodgkison, Hero, & Warnken, 2007). Recent changes in the culture of golf course management have led to a shift toward becoming environmental stewards. One of the areas most affected by climate changes is the Upper Mountain/West region that includes Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming.

title: Impacts of Beaver Dams on Mountain Stream Discharge and Water Temperature
Creators: name: Clark, Timothy R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Beaver dam complexes have been shown to affect the hydrologic processes controlling river systems. These processes include surface and groundwater exchanges, water chemistry and temperature variations, and river discharge magnitudes. Majerova et al. (2015) explored the effects of beaver dams on surface and groundwater exchanges and water temperature by evaluating three years of water discharge and temperature data recorded at multiple locations within a small stream in northern Utah. They found that beaver dams increase the water surface elevation and force water into the floodplain resulting in increased inundation and groundwater recharge. They additionally found that beaver dams increase residence time of the water and together with increased surface area, generally result in increased water temperature at reach scales. Majerova et al. (2015) noted the importance of long-term data sets to more fully understand the impact of beaver dams on river systems. Towards this end, this report builds on the original study by extending the daily average water temperature and discharge time series at three locations along a 1.3 km section of Curtis Creek in Northern Utah to provide insight into the long-term effects of the beaver dam complexes. The entire data set spans 2008-2018 and represents periods before the beaver dams were built, during dam construction and various levels of dam maintenance, and after the dams breached or washed out after beaver were trapped in the area. The original 3 years of data presented in Majerova et al. (2015) showed that an increase in beaver dams generally increased the baseflow discharge and water temperature variations during the summer. However, longer term data that represent a larger range of annual flows and different states of dam building and maintenance show that beaver dams only increase baseflow discharge when the dams are relatively young and consistently inundate the floodplain. This suggests that beaver dam complex age and pond sedimentation is important for understanding groundwater exchanges. When comparing the streamflow data, weather data, and daily average water temperatures together, it is clear that beaver dams do consistently increase water temperatures, but local weather and longer term hydrologic conditions are also important factors affecting (or contributing to) water temperature variations. A review of the sub-daily water temperature data for a single week in September, revealed a daily variation of approximately 0.7°C without beaver dams and approximately 5°C with beaver dams. This represents a significant change in daily water temperatures and highlights the need to investigate shorter temporal scale influences on long term temperature responses.

description: Two derivative Jackiw Teitelboim gravity theory captures the near horizon dynamics of higher dimensional near extremal black holes, which is governed by a Schwarzian action at the boundary in the near horizon region. The partition function corresponding to this boundary action correctly gives the statistical entropy of the near extremal black hole. In this paper, we study the thermodynamics of spherically symmetric four dimensional near extremal black holes in presence of arbitrary perturbative four derivative corrections. We find that the near horizon dynamics is again captured by a JT like action with a particular namely square of Ricci scalar higher derivative modification. Effectively the theory is described by a boundary Schwarzian action which gets suitably modified due to the presence of the higher derivative interactions. Near extremal entropy, free energy also get corrected accordingly.

Year: 2020

description: Using a collection of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), this study examines the stock-price reaction of European, European Union, and British firms to the Brexit Referendum on June 23, 2016. Results show that non-European firms experienced greater returns than the market after the Brexit referendum. European, European Union, and British firms all experienced negative returns compared to the average market return. While at first glance British firms appeared to experience even greater negative returns as compared to firms in the European Union, overall there was no statistically significant difference between returns for firms in the European Union and firms in the United Kingdom. These results show that in the initial aftermath of the Brexit Referendum, investors believed that the non-European world would benefit from a weaker European Union, and that both the European Union and the United Kingdom were likely to adversely effected by the referendum.

description: MgB2 is a promising superconductor for important large-scale applications for both high field magnets and cryocooler-cooled magnet operated at temperatures around 20 K. In this work, by utilizing C60 as a viable alternative dopant, we demonstrate a simple and industrially scaleable rout that yields a 10-15-fold improvement in the in-high-field current densities of MgB2 tape conductors. For example, a Jc value higher than 4x10^4 A/cm^2 (4.2 K, 10 T), which exceeds that for NbTi superconductor, can be realized on the C60 doped MgB2 tapes. It is worth noting that this value is even higher than that fabricated using strict high energy ball milling technique under Ar atmosphere. At 20 K, Hirr was about 10 T for C60 doped MgB2 tapes. A large amount of nanometer-sized precipitates and grain boundaries were found in MgB2 matrix. The special physical and chemical characteristic of C60, in addition to its C containing intrinsic essence, is a key point in enhancing the superconducting performance of MgB2 tapes.

description: In this study, I examine how market participants respond to global uncertainty around the Covid-19 pandemic. More specifically, I analyze the industries most affected by the outbreak. The pandemic has created events never before seen at such a global level. Governments closed their country’s borders and quarantined their residents. Business owners closed their doors. These unforeseen events put the world economy at a standstill. I find that these decisions caused the U.S. stock markets to crash by more than 30%. The industries that experienced the most negative value-weighted abnormal returns were Carry, Meals, and Books. The industries that exhibited the most positive value-weighted abnormal returns were Transportation, Healthcare, and Smoke. Perhaps policies and financial assistance can be better allocated to those industries that suffered the most. Additionally, investment managers might be able to use this information to hedge against future losses, in the case of a similar pandemic.

description: This thesis paper uses thematic analysis to find and report themes in the minority online community space of #NativeTwitter. Drawing from Lisa King’s theory of rhetorical sovereignty, this paper outlines how Indigenous people use Twitter to assert and take back control of their voices and images, as well as build community and connect with each other. This paper outlines three major themes within #NativeTwitter, as analyzed from a group of tweets pulled from the community from October 28-31st in 2018. The themes are: Calling out and Calling in, Community Building and Fostering Connection, and Cultural Preservation. Examples for each of these themes are analyzed in detail. The time frame of these tweets was chosen to show how this community functions in a time of stress, Halloween, when Indigenous images are used and exploited in the form of offensive costumes.

description: We present two 2D lattice models with non-Fermi liquid metallic phases. We show that the low energy physics of these models is exactly described by a Fermi sea of fractionalized quasiparticles coupled to a fluctuating U(1) gauge field. In the first model, the underlying degrees of freedom are spin 1/2 fermions. This model demonstrates that electrons can in principle give rise to non-Fermi liquid metallic phases. In the second model, the underlying degrees of freedom are spinless bosons. This model provides a concrete example of a (non-Fermi liquid) Bose metal. With little modification, it also gives an example of a critical U(1) symmetric spin liquid.

description: The celebrated Kuramoto model provides an analytically tractable framework to study spontaneous collective synchronization and comprises globally coupled limit-cycle oscillators interacting symmetrically with one another. The Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model is a generalization of the basic model that considers the presence of a phase-lag parameter in the interaction, thereby making it asymmetric between oscillator pairs. Here, we consider a further generalization, by adding an interaction that breaks the phase-shift symmetry of the model. The highlight of our study is the unveiling of a very rich bifurcation diagram comprising of both oscillatory and non-oscillatory synchronized states as well as an incoherent state: There are regions of two-state as well as an interesting and hitherto unexplored three-state coexistence arising from asymmetric interactions in our model.

title: The Union of Opposites: Carl Jung, Folklore, and the Caduceus and Ouroboros in Alchemy
Creators: name: Daly, Jack
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis advocates for the use of Carl Jung’s psychoanalytic theory in folkloristics by examining the role of the caduceus and the ouroboros in alchemy as a case study. Although a Jungian lens has not been widely accepted by folklorists, it can and should be applied to folklore, particularly in the context of binary oppositions. Folklorists such as Alan Dundes have been harshly critical of this perspective. However, Dundes also stressed the importance of binaries in folklore. Furthermore, Dundes championed the theory of symbolic equivalences, and in my paper I argue that the caduceus and the ouroboros are examples of this.
I argue that folklorists should study Jung, with a particular focus on their agreement upon motifs and archetypes as well as their similar beliefs regarding the importance of the reconciliation of opposites. The caduceus and ouroboros in alchemy represent a union of opposites, of the above and the below, of the human with the divine, and this view has remained stable over time despite widely varying historical contexts.
In constructing my argument, I examine alchemical texts and art that contain these serpentine and draconic depictions and use Jung’s theories to show how their meaning remains constant. I also draw from the modern Western esoteric tradition, particularly twentieth century tarot cards, to show how the serpent and dragon have remained as signifiers that stress the importance of the union of opposites into the current time. I adopt a psycho-spiritual approach to alchemy as opposed to a purely chemical stance which aids in showing the importance of balancing the opposites within oneself. This research helps us reimagine the role that Jung has in folklore studies as well as reconciling the opposing positions of Jung and Dundes. This work will also help to stress the importance of psychoanalytic theory as a whole in folkloristics. Jung is often denigrated by folklorists because they claim he is too universalizing, but they often make the same moves as he does, and I argue that Jung shouldn’t be thrown away entirely by the field solely based on one aspect of his work.
title: Economic Analysis of Backgrounding Calves

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: The purpose of this thesis is to allow beef producers a better insight into the costs and benefits associated with carrying over fall calves to yearling weight and selling them the following spring. Producers are usually seen as risk-averse when it comes to selling their livestock. (Feuz, Fausti 1995) Cattle producers face several decisions during the year when it comes to calf input costs and the premium to be received for fall calves, with the final decision coming at the last minute, when making the decision to keep or sell calves. Said calves might be sold in the fall or retained through the winter and marketed in the springtime of the year following for a potential premium when the cattle markets tend to rise in February-April. Animals that are retained through the winter have costs associate, which must be considered prior to the decision to retain the calves. Calf retention may allow the producer better control of profitability due to the flexibility added in responding to the market price. When calf prices are high, or feed input costs prohibit carryover, the producer can sell as they conventionally would have in the fall markets. Alternative options for marketing are also something to consider when it comes time to sell calves in both fall and spring markets. New forms of digital marketing and sales may offer some benefits for producers as they consider how to sell their calves and what their time is worth. The goal of this paper is to provide producers a more extensive insight into the risk and budgeting constraints associated with backgrounding calves by using historical price data and enterprise budgets to help producers make informed decisions in their operations and assist in management decisions.
title: Retaining Ownership of Calves- Obendorf Farms

description: Retaining Ownership is when a producer chooses to obtain ownership of their calves until they have reached a finished weight and are ready to be sent to slaughter. Cow-calf producers generally sell their calves at weaning time or within a few months of weaning. Every operation as their own way of doing things and sometimes change is hard to come by. Obendorf Farms wanted to evaluate, at what point in time would it be best to sell their 2020 calf crop? Four different scenarios were analyzed. The first scenario involved no change from previous years which, is selling their calves in December, a few months after they are weaned. The second scenario is selling their calves 30 days after weaning. The third scenario is retaining ownership of the calves by taking them to a feedlot and putting them on a slow feed program. The last scenario also includes retaining ownership of the calves but push the calves on feed. By doing this analysis owners at Obendorf Farms will be able to see which option gives them the best net income on their 2020 calf crop.

is designed to address the limited availability of sub-national data. After estimating
state-level import values and penetration rates, I simulate the effects of changes in
tariff rates on consumer prices and domestic employment in different states. The
model suggests that estimates of the local labor effects of imports can be improved
by incorporating data on the location of import entry.

description: We show that quantum solitons in the Lieb-Liniger Hamiltonian are precisely the yrast states. We identify such solutions clearly with Lieb's type II excitations from weak to strong interactions, clarifying a long-standing question of the physical meaning of this excitation branch. We demonstrate that the metastable quantum phase transition previously found in mean field analysis of the weakly-interacting Lieb-Liniger Hamiltonian [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 79}, 063616 (2009)] extends into the medium- to strongly-interacting regime of a periodic one-dimensional Bose gas. Our methods are exact diagonalization, finite-size Bethe ansatz, and the boson-fermion mapping in the Tonks-Girardeau limit.

description: Sleep is a fundamental yet enigmatic biological process essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. Despite its importance, the precise mechanisms andfunctions of sleep remain only partially understood. This thesis explores the potential for sound to enhance sleep quality during short daytime naps, a practiceincreasingly recognized for its health benefits. The study specifically examines the effectiveness of different variations of broadband noise in improving sleep quality.

The research is motivated by the need for non-pharmacological interventions to address common sleep issues, which can lead to significant health problems. Theprimary objective is to design, develop, and evaluate auditory stimuli tailored to the N1 and N2 stages of NREM. The methodology involves collecting EEG data fromparticipants during short naps, delivering different auditory based on their current sleep stage, and assessing their impact on sleep quality through both subjective andobjective measures.

Overall, the results of this study suggest encouraging yet statistically insignificant trends in sleep quality across subjective and objective measures. The data collectedprovide a foundation for understanding the relationship between sound and sleep, contributing to the ongoing research in this area.

description: As in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has become more available and more affordable, it has become one of the top breeding technologies in the beef and dairy industry. Intermountain Embryonics of Twin Falls, Idaho has made it an available technology for producers in Idaho and parts of surrounding states. Intermountain Embryonics has struggled to show potential clients the financial potential IVF has to offer. This study shows the revenues, expenses, and risks involved in IVF. This study looks at the comparison of breeding natural service with a bull, artificial insemination, and in-vitro fertilization. The comparison shows that natural service comes with the least amount of risk while also producing the lowest profit for the producer. Artificial insemination involves a slightly higher degree of risk with more of a profit. Three different IVF scenarios based on expenses associated with the number of donor cows show the most profit as well as the most risk. While all three IVF scenarios show the most risk, they also show producers the opportunity they have to make an impressive profit which artificial insemination does not show in this study.

The silicon waveguide is constituted of a subwavelength grating so as to maintain the high efficiency even under the presence of stacking misalignment accompanied by hybrid integration processes. Experimentally, we assembled the hybrid photonic structure by transfer printing, and demonstrated single-photon generation from a QD and its unidirectional output from the waveguide. These results point out a promising approach toward scalable integration of SPSs on silicon quantum photonics platforms.

description: The transiting extrasolar planet XO-3b is remarkable, with a high mass and eccentric orbit. The unusual characteristics make it interesting to test whether its orbital plane is parallel to the equator of its host star, as it is observed for other transiting planets. We performed radial velocity measurements of XO-3 with the SOPHIE spectrograph at the 1.93-m telescope of Haute-Provence Observatory during a planetary transit, and at other orbital phases. This allowed us to observe the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and, together with a new analysis of the transit light curve, to refine the parameters of the planet. The unusual shape of the radial velocity anomaly during the transit provides a hint for a nearly transverse Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. The sky-projected angle between the planetary orbital axis and the stellar rotation axis should be lambda = 70 +/- 15 degrees to be compatible with our observations. This suggests that some close-in planets might result from gravitational interaction between planets and/or stars rather than migration due to interaction with the accretion disk. This surprising result requires confirmation by additional observations, especially at lower airmass, to fully exclude the possibility that the signal is due to systematic effects.

description: It is suggested that the Einstein equation can be derived from Landauer's principle applied to an information erasing process at a local Rindler horizon and Jacobson's idea linking the Einstein equation with thermodynamics. When matter crosses the horizon, the information of the matter disappears and the horizon entanglement entropy increases to compensate the entropy reduction. The Einstein equation describes an information-energy relation during this process, which implies that entropic gravity is related to the quantum entanglement of the vacuum and has a quantum information theoretic origin.

Year: 2020

description: Aphasia is an acquired neurogenic language disorder encompassing oral and/or written language expression and comprehension affecting an estimated two- to two to four million people in the United States, (Simmons-Mackie, 2018; National Aphasia Association, 2016). The primary aim of the current study was to investigate an option for targeted intervention as a follow-up to an Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Program (ICAP). There is little research assessing maintenance of communication profile gains following conclusion of the ICAPs, and there are few options that exist as tailored ICAP follow-up programs or continued intervention guided by the ICAP principle features. To address this, a Tele-connect Aphasia Group (TAG) project was initiated to provide continuing intervention after ICAP via telerehabilitation group therapy. Following a formal language assessment via videoconference, six participants completed up to four one-hour aphasia group sessions via telerehabilitation, along with up to sixty minutes per week of individual sessions/coaching over telephone or videoconference, over the course of four weeks.
Results demonstrate progress towards personalized communication goals by all six participants. Moreover, participants endorsed the benefit of continuing language therapy at home through participation in group telerehabilitation, especially when supplemented with individual meetings/sessions.

description: The controversy concerning the temperature correction to the Casimir force has been ongoing for almost a decade with no view to a solution and has recently been extended to include semiconducting materials. We review some theoretical aspects of formal violations of Nernst's heat theorem in the context of Casimir Lifshitz thermodynamics and the role of the exponent of the leading term of the dielectric permittivity with respect to imaginary frequency. A general formalism for calculating the temperature corrections to free energy at low temperatures is developed for systems which do not exhibit such anomalies, and the low temperature behaviour of the free energy in a gap between half-spaces of poorly conducting materials modelled with a Drude type permittivity is calculated.

description: Embedded within the economic narrative of the nineteenth and twentieth century American West lays the rich, but frequently forgotten, history of brewing in Utah. While most businesses in Utah centered on agriculture, railroads, and mining, the breweries of Utah also played a significant role in the industrial and economic development of the region. One of the largest and most significant of these breweries was the Becker Brewing and Malting Company of Ogden, Utah. Founded in 1892, this company deeply affected the brewing industry until its dissolution in 1965. Many of the original records kept by the company still exist and reveal in depth the evolution of brewing in Utah and its economic importance to the Great Basin region. This paper will attempt to place the Becker Brewing and Malting Company in the historical narrative of brewing in Utah, and analyze how aspects of labor, prohibition, and finance affected the company.

description: We introduce a minimalist dynamical model of wealth evolution and wealth sharing among $N$ agents as a platform to compare the relative merits of altruism and individualism. In our model, the wealth of each agent independently evolves by diffusion. For a population of altruists, whenever any agent reaches zero wealth (that is, the agent goes bankrupt), the remaining wealth of the other $N-1$ agents is equally shared among all. The population is collectively defined to be bankrupt when its total wealth falls below a specified small threshold value. For individualists, each time an agent goes bankrupt (s)he is considered to be "dead" and no wealth redistribution occurs. We determine the evolution of wealth in these two societies. Altruism leads to more global median wealth at early times; eventually, however, the longest-lived individualists accumulate most of the wealth and are richer and more long lived than the altruists.

description: Waiting can be exasperating, but sometimes that helplessness, knowing there is nothing to do but wait, is a comfort.
I have come to understand the value of the handmade through using and living with thoughtfully crafted objects. I am attracted to goods made by people who give voice to their material. When this is done well, I slow down and pay more attention to the object and the task they are performing.
Attraction and distraction. What are the differences between objects meant to attract our attention and those meant to distract? I would much rather lead a life full of attraction. It is difficult to do that now; technology and media have warped our attention spans.
Hand crafted objects comfort my racing mind. They capture attention and give rise to pleasure in moments that feel separate from time. Our built physical worlds impact our mental well-being. I believe that objects that are made slowly and thoughtfully will be consumed slowly and thoughtfully, which seems like a healthier alternative.

description: RESUMO

Cirurgias oncológicas indicadas para excisão de mixoma odontogênico podem ocasionar deformações nas estruturas de cabeça e pescoço que geram dificuldades na mastigação, deglutição, fonação e estética, podendo prejudicar a qualidade de vida. A

 

reabilitação com prótese bucomaxilofacial é uma indicação diante da impossibilidade de reconstrução cirúrgica. Objetivo: relatar a reabilitação com prótese obturadora maxilar em paciente com comunicação bucosinusal após hemimaxilectomia parcial. Metodologia: Paciente do gênero masculino, 29 anos, procurou atendimento odontológico após excisão de mixoma odontogênico. Após anamnese, exames intra e extra-oral e análise radiográfica, optou-se pela confecção de uma prótese parcial removível obturadora superior. Realizou-se a moldagem (arcadas superior e inferior), para obtenção dos modelos de estudo, sendo realizado o delineamento no modelo superior, confecção das coroas guias e planejamento da armação metálica da prótese parcial removível obturadora. Em seguida, foram executados nos dentes remanescentes os nichos, desgastes compensatórios e moldagem de trabalho, originando o modelo de trabalho sobre o qual foi confeccionada a armação metálica. Em seguida, foi realizada a prova da armação metálica, registro do arco facial, determinação das relações intermaxilares, montagem dos modelos no articulador semi-ajustável, seleção e montagem dos dentes artificiais. Resultados e conclusões: Na prova estética e funcional dos dentes verificou-se o restabelecimento estético e fonético do paciente. Foi realizada moldagem funcional com boca fechada, depois acrilização, instalação e proservações. Conclui-se que a prótese obturadora é uma boa opção para reabilitação bucal de pacientes com defeitos maxilofaciais permitindo o restabelecimento funcional e uma melhora significativa na qualidade de vida.

description: We study a flux qubit in a coplanar waveguide resonator by measuring transmission through the system. In our system with the flux qubit decoupled galvanically from the resonator, the intermediate coupling regime is achieved. In this regime dispersive readout is possible with weak backaction on the qubit. The detailed theoretical analysis and simulations give a good agreement with the experimental data and allow to make the qubit characterization.

description: The purpose of this project was to complete an intensive level cultural resource inventory of the historic property known as Ogden Center and the Home of Truth Cooperative Settlement (Home of Truth). The goal of an intensive level inventory is to identify, record, and determine the extent and significance of a particular historic property. In order to meet these criteria, the site and associated individual features must be thoroughly documented through description, mapping, and photography. In addition to working with the on the ground, physical characteristics of the site, documentary research must be conducted in order to provide a historic context within which the property may be better understood. An evaluation of the significance of the property at the local, state, and federal levels can the.n be made based upon the sum total of the data collected. Based upon these data a recommendation of eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is made.

description: RESUMO

O câncer do colo do útero é a neoplasia com um dos maiores índices de óbitos que acometem as mulheres no Brasil e no mundo. O exame citopatológico é uma das formas de prevenção mais eficaz dessa doença, com isso o enfermeiro possui relevância para a realização desse exame. Diante desse problema, o objetivo desse artigo é analisar a importância do PCCU e a atuação do enfermeiro nesse caso. Para tanto, analisei 15 artigos com dados de livre acesso, os resultados sugerem que o Papanicolau é de extrema importância e o enfermeiro deve enfatizar a realização do mesmo para a população feminina. Acredita-se que esse artigo possa contribuir para o estudo de futuros profissionais da saúde sobre a importância do exame citopatológico para as mulheres.

description: The defect detection task can be regarded as a realistic scenario of object detection in the computer vision field and it is widely used in the industrial field. Directly applying vanilla object detector to defect detection task can achieve promising results, while there still exists challenging issues that have not been solved. The first issue is the texture shift which means a trained defect detector model will be easily affected by unseen texture, and the second issue is partial visual confusion which indicates that a partial defect box is visually similar with a complete box. To tackle these two problems, we propose a Reference-based Defect Detection Network (RDDN). Specifically, we introduce template reference and context reference to against those two problems, respectively. Template reference can reduce the texture shift from image, feature or region levels, and encourage the detectors to focus more on the defective area as a result. We can use either well-aligned template images or the outputs of a pseudo template generator as template references in this work, and they are jointly trained with detectors by the supervision of normal samples. To solve the partial visual confusion issue, we propose to leverage the carried context information of context reference, which is the concentric bigger box of each region proposal, to perform more accurate region classification and regression. Experiments on two defect detection datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
