The epidemiology of lateral movement: exposures and countermeasures with network contagion models
Creators: name: Powell, Brian A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: An approach is developed for analyzing computer networks to identify systems and accounts that are at particular risk of compromise by an adversary seeking to move laterally through the network via authentication. The dynamics of the adversary are modeled as a contagion spreading across systems linked via authentication relationships derived from Administrator account access and active session data. The adversary is assumed to traverse the network via credential chaining, where the adversary steals credentials from one system, uses them to authenticate to another, and repeats the process. Graph topology measures are used to analyze different contagion models applied to a real Windows network for three primary exposures by identifying: accounts which, either individually or collectively, provide wide and far-reaching access to many systems across the network; accounts with notable privilege escalation liability; and "gatekeeper" systems through which the adversary must pass in order to reach critical assets. The approach can be used to test how different mitigations and countermeasures affect these exposures; for example, we find that disabling remote logins by local accounts and implementing protections that prevent the caching of credentials on remote hosts can substantially curtail lateral movement and privilege escalation.

description: Over the past forty years, the practice of transracial adoption has become an increasingly pervasive occurrence, specifically as it relates to the extraction of infants and children from East Asian countries to the United States. While this increase in prevalence has been noted and corroborated by state and country data as well as academic research conducted on the topic, little has been pursued that establishes its significance in terms of individual, community and place-based identity development. This research aims to evaluate the effect of place on East Asian transracial adoptee identity development in these multiple contexts. Specifically, it focuses on the experience of East Asian transracial adoptees in New York City and the ways in which members of this community employ spatial, social, and cultural placemaking practices in their efforts to create landscapes of belonging reflective of their unique identities. Informed by a review of pertinent literature across the disciplines of sociology, psychology, geography and urban planning, survey responses from East Asian transracial adoptees, and interviews with placemaking and adoptee community development professionals and East Asian transracial adoptees in the New York City area, this thesis proposes a new conception of placemaking that addresses the liminal experience of the East Asian transracial adoptee identity and carries implications for placemaking for other non-binary identities.

description: The definition of the covariant space-time averaging scheme for the objects (tensors, geometric objects, etc.) on differentiable metric manifolds with a volume n-form, which has been proposed for the formulation of macroscopic gravity, is analyzed. An overview of the space-time averaging procedure in Minkowski spacetime is given and comparison between this averaging scheme and that adopted in macroscopic gravity is carried out throughout the paper. Some new results concerning the algebraic structure of the averaging operator are precisely formulated and proved, the main one being that the averaging bilocal operator is idempotent iff it is factorized into a bilocal product of a matrix-valued function on the manifold, taken at a point, by its inverse at another point. The previously proved existence theorems for the averaging and coordination bilocal operators are revisited with more detailed proofs of related results. A number of new results concerning the structure of the volume-preserving averaging operators and the class of proper coordinate systems are given. It is shown, in particular, that such operators are defined on an arbitrary n-dimensional differentiable metric manifold with a volume n-form up to the freedom of (n-1) arbitrary functions of n arguments and 1 arbitrary function of (n-1) arguments. All the results given in this paper are also valid whenever appropriate for affine connection manifolds including (pseudo)-Riemannian manifolds.

 Cheumatopsyche chekiangensis SCHMID. 1965: 142-145. Holotype, China, West Tien-mu-shan. 19 September 1932 (MAK, not examined) (1 paratype, same data, examined).
 Potamyia parva TIAN & LI 1987: 128. Replacement name for Hydropsychodes chinensis MARTYNOV 1930. Syn.n.
 Antennae 1.5 times length of forewing. In forewing, crossveins Cul-Cu2 and M3+4-Cu1 touching. In hindwing veins M and Cu1 running parallel; fork 1 absent. Spur formula 244. This species is easily distinguished from all others in the genus by the loss of the hook formation on the tenth tergum. TIAN & LI (1987) transferred Hydropsychodes chinensis MARTYNOV (1930) to Potamyia without examining the type and proposed a replacement name because of the resultant homonymy with Potamyia chinensis (ULMER,1915). We have examined the holotype of H. chinensis MARTYNOV 1930 (in BMNH), and it clearly belongs in Cheumatopsyche.

Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::530 Physik

description: We present an operational framework for Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering as a physical resource. For arbitrary-dimensional bipartite systems composed of a quantum subsystem and a black-box device, we show that local operations assisted by one-way classical communication (1W-LOCCs) from the quantum part to the black box cannot create steering. Based on this, we build a resource theory of steering with 1W-LOCCs as the free operations. We introduce the notion of convex steering monotones as the fundamental axiomatic quantifiers of steering. As a convenient example thereof, we present the relative entropy of steering. In addition, we prove that two previously proposed quantifiers, the steerable weight and the robustness of steering, are also convex steering monotones. To end up with for minimal-dimensional systems, we establish, on the one hand, necessary and sufficient conditions for pure-state steering conversions under stochastic 1W-LOCCs and prove, on the other hand, the nonexistence of steering bits, i.e., measure-independent maximally steerable states from which all states can be obtained by means of the free operations. Our findings reveal unexpected aspects of steering and lay the foundations for further research, with potential implications in Bell nonlocality.

description: The Fas/Fas ligand (FASL) system and Elabela-apelin receptor signaling pathways are implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether a model combining the measurement of sFas and Elabela in the maternal circulation may serve as a clinical biomarker for early- and/or late-onset preeclampsia more effectively than measures of each biomarker individually. Blood samples were collected from 214 women in the following groups: (1) normal pregnancy sampled <34 weeks of gestation (n = 56); (2) patients who developed early-onset preeclampsia (n = 54); (3) normal pregnancy sampled ≥34 weeks of gestation (n = 52); (4) patients who developed late-onset preeclampsia (n = 52). Maternal circulating soluble Fas and Elabela concentrations were determined using sensitive and validated immunoassays. Two sample t-tests, multivariate logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curves were used for analyses. (1) Women with early-onset preeclampsia, and those with late-onset preeclampsia with placental lesions of maternal vascular malperfusion, had increased concentrations of sFas compared to their gestational age-matched normal controls; (2) women with late-onset preeclampsia, but not those with early-onset preeclampsia, had increased concentrations of Elabela compared to their gestational age-matched counterparts; and (3) an increase in both Elabela and sFas concentrations was more strongly associated with late-onset preeclampsia than early-onset preeclampsia relative to models including either of the markers alone. A combined model of maternal sFas and Elabela concentrations provides a stronger association with late-onset preeclampsia than either protein alone. This finding demonstrates the possibility to improve the classification of late-onset preeclampsia by combining the results of both molecular biomarkers.
Between Ethnic and Civic: A Paradox of National Identification in Contemporary Taiwan
Creators: Yang, Chien-min
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: This dissertation analyzes the paradox of national identity in contemporary Taiwan.  Under the context of democratic transition and new dynamics of exchanges with Mainland China, Taiwan people's national identification has demonstrated a significant change in the past two decades.  Many empirical studies confirmed the emergence of a new Taiwanese identity, the sharp decline of traditional Chinese identity, and presented a clear trend of national identity change in Taiwan. However, there are several puzzling phenomena, such as the growth of dual identification (both "Chinese and Taiwanese"), the divergent rationale for the national identity and statehood preferences (Reunification vs. Independence), and the fluctuation of various national identity change patterns in the society left unanswered in the previous studies.
      Following the transition process-oriented approach, this dissertation focuses on the underlying organization principles (ethnic-cultural vs. civic-territorial mechanisms) that people take to define and redefine themselves in national terms, and assumes national identification changes and various change patterns in Taiwan were derived from different advantages between the two underlying identity formation mechanisms in response to the external transformations - democratization, new stages of cross-strait exchanges, and the rise of China in the world - that the society have experienced in the past two decades.
      In light of this new analytical approach, this dissertation explores and explains the changes of national identification in the past two decades - the paradox and puzzling aspects of two "conflicting" national identities, the existence of "dual identities" and both "Unification and Independence" acceptable  in a large segment of the population, the divergent rationales behind the national identity and statehood preferences, the decline of Chinese identity in two-stages with the new dynamics of cross-strait exchanges and the rise of China in the international society, and, finally, how Taiwanese identity becomes civic and national out of the democratic transition practices in the past two decades.
title: Hybridization Between Closely Related Lineages in the Paratya australiensis (Decapoda: Atyidae) Species Complex
Creators: name: Rodriguez Garzon, Tayner
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Asymmetrical hybridization
subject: Paratya australiensis
subject: Freshwater shrimp

description: Many species have been translocated from their native habitat into new environments. Some of these transfers have had negative impacts on the resident populations. Hybridization and introgression are some of the impacts that are associated with species incursions. These processes can potentially result in successful invasions and jeopardize the existence of native species and populations. It is thought that intraspecific hybridization can result in the loss of local adaptations and decrease adaptive divergence among populations. Understanding the factors affecting survival of the native species in altered landscapes is an important issue in species conservation. This study explores the processes that could lead to asymmetrical hybridization between two closely related lineages of freshwater shrimp Paratya australiensis. Selection pressure appears to be leading to extinction of one lineage in most of the sites adjacent to a pool where a translocation resulted in mixing of the two lineages (Hughes 2003). The aim of the thesis was to identify the processes and traits involved in the shaping of the current genetic structure of this shrimp following the translocation event; using genetic markers to identify what could have triggered the asymmetrical hybridization and almost complete extinction of the resident lineage. This is an ideal model system to study and understand interactions between recently (2-3 million years ago) diverged lineages. The translocated lineage 4 comes from Kilcoy Creek, which is at a higher altitude (cold temperatures) than Stony Creek, where the resident lineage 6 is situated (warm temperatures). The temperature differences and the fact that the two lineages were thought to have been isolated for 3million years, led to the expectation of some degree of reproductive isolation. Hughes et al. (2003) found that, after this translocation the reproductive isolation was asymmetrical, such that most of the males appeared to mate only with females from the introduced lineage 4. They noticed that lineage 4 was inducing lineage 6 to the edge of extinction in its local environment. This particular translocation event provides an ideal opportunity to test a number of hypotheses to explain asymmetrical hybridization. The sensory drive hypothesis focuses on how mating signals are effective for particular environments and may differ between environments (Endler, 1992). The second hypothesis proposed by Hughes et al. (2003), focuses on the fact that crosses between the resident females and translocated males lineages and vice versa may have differential viability.
Landau damping of transverse quadrupole oscillations of an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We study the interaction between low-lying transverse collective oscillations and thermal excitations of an elongated Bose-Einstein condensate by means of perturbation theory. We consider a cylindrically trapped condensate and calculate the transverse elementary excitations at zero temperature by solving the linearized Gross-Pitaevskii equations in two dimensions. We use them to calculate the matrix elements between thermal excited states coupled with the quasi-2D collective modes. The Landau damping of transverse collective modes is investigated as a function of temperature. At low temperatures, the damping rate due to the Landau decay mechanism is in agreement with the experimental data for the decay of the transverse quadrupole mode, but it is too small to explain the slow experimental decay of the transverse breathing mode. The reason for this discrepancy is discussed.

description: In this paper we present the results of a systematic numerical analysis of the channeling properties of electrons and positrons in oriented straight and periodically bent diamond(110) crystals. We analyse dependence of the intensity of the radiation emitted on the projectile energy as well as on the bending amplitude. The analysis presented is based on the grounds of accurate numerical simulations of the channeling process. The simulation parameters, such as the crystal orientation, thickness and bending parameters of the crystals as well as the energy of the projectiles, were chosen to match those used in past and ongoing experiments. The peculiarities which appear in the radiation spectra are attributed to the interplay of various radiation mechanisms. The analysis performed can be used to predict and explain future experimental results.

description: The Hippo pathway was originally discovered to control tissue growth in Drosophila and includes the Hippo kinase (Hpo; MST1/2 in mammals), scaffold protein Salvador (Sav; SAV1 in mammals) and the Warts kinase (Wts; LATS1/2 in mammals). The Hpo kinase is activated by binding to Crumbs-Expanded (Crb-Ex) and/or Merlin-Kibra (Mer-Kib) proteins at the apical domain of epithelial cells. Here we show that activation of Hpo also involves the formation of supramolecular complexes with properties of a biomolecular condensate, including concentration dependence and sensitivity to starvation, macromolecular crowding, or 1,6-hexanediol treatment. Overexpressing Ex or Kib induces formation of micron-scale Hpo condensates in the cytoplasm, rather than at the apical membrane. Several Hippo pathway components contain unstructured low-complexity domains and purified Hpo-Sav complexes undergo phase separation in vitro. Formation of Hpo condensates is conserved in human cells. We propose that apical Hpo kinase activation occurs in phase separated "signalosomes" induced by clustering of upstream pathway components.

description: This dissertation explores the ways of imagining the metaphysical space as a viable platform in music composition. I divide the paper into three large chapters:  The first chapter is a philosophical grounding of the concept of metaphysical space. I reveal the concept of metaphysical space, and propose one of the possible inner structures of it.  The inner structure of the metaphysical space is explained in two tiers. In the first tier, I review the Niveau Poïétique of Jean Molino's Tripartite Model, and then offer an alternative reading of the Niveau Poïétique. Thereafter, I put the first tier of the structure of the metaphysical space in a larger philosophical context, by invoking the concept of two-fold being-in-the-world by Shizuteru Ueda.  In the second chapter, I present a detailed analysis of ...zu... by Mark Andre, in which I investigate how the paradigm of metaphysical space can be applied to the compositional situations of Andre and his work.  The chapter is divided into two large sections.  The first section is devoted to Andre's methodology in music notation.  This section provides the concrete foundation necessary for the discussion of the second section, which is the musical analysis of the Andre work.  The third chapter is devoted to the analysis of my recent work, Tramespace I (2012-13). This chapter is also divided into two sections.  In the first section I discuss the problematics of the musical circularity from philosophical perspectives. In the second section I present an analysis of Tramespace I, by referring to the musical sketches and other pertinent compositional materials for the work. In this chapter as a whole my aim is to present one of the many possibilities of utilizing the kinds of philosophical and musical ideas derived from the preceding two chapters in the praxis of music composition, in ways that are anchored by the overarching concept of the metaphysical space.

description: Stationary 1D Schrödinger equations with polynomial potentials are reduced to explicit countable closed systems of exact quantization conditions, which are selfconsistent constraints upon the zeros of zeta-regularized spectral determinants, complementing the usual asymptotic (Bohr--Sommerfeld) constraints. (This reduction is currently completed under a certain vanishing condition.) In particular, the symmetric quartic oscillators are admissible systems, and the formalism is tested upon them. Enforcing the exact and asymptotic constraints by suitable iterative schemes, we numerically observe geometric convergence to the correct eigenvalues/functions in some test cases, suggesting that the output of the reduction should define a contractive fixed-point problem (at least in some vicinity of the pure $q^4$ case).

An action theory of adaptation to climate change
Creators: name: Eisenack, Klaus
name: Stecker, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Freie Universität Berlin
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: The paper presents an action theory to analyse adaptation to climate change. It provides hypotheses on barriers to adaptation and a framework to analyse them. It clarifies what is meant by „adaptation measures“ and critically reflects on established concepts. Currently, many observers indicate substantial barriers to cope with the impacts of climate change. However, the often incoherent use of terms like autonomous and planned adaptation seems to be of little help here. There are no established methods that enable for operationalizing research on human or social adaptation. The action theory of adaptation intends to allow for rigorously clarifying the notion of adaptation in each specific research context, and delivers a template for hypothesizing on adaptation. The argument is developed by framing adaptation as an individual or collective action, and by building on established analyses of (social) action. To represent the bio-physical counterpart of adaptation, concepts from the DPSIR framework are used. The exposition of the concepts is underpinned by case examples. We conclude that basic components of the theory are (collective) actors, means and ends of adaptation. Ends may be targeted at socio-economic or bio-physical units that are exposed to climate change, but also at other receptors. The theory highlights that climate change affects many actors in different ways, and that their reactions are strongly interlinked. Actions tend to come in means-ends-chains. For understanding adaptation, it is necessary to address these interlinkages. Important barriers are caused by (1) a mismatch of the means that are necessary for an adaptation, that are available, and that are actually employed; (2) externalities and high transaction costs due to the interlinked actors, receptors and units that are exposed to climate change.

Using this upper bound and minimal polygonal presentations, we give an upper bound in terms of the superbridge index and the bridge index of the summands when they are torus knots. In contrast to the fact that the difference between the sum of bridge indices of two knots and the bridge index of their connected sum is always one, the corresponding difference for the superbridge index can be arbitrarily large.

description: In this work, we extensively study the problem of broadcasting of entanglement as state dependent versus state independent cloners. We start by re-conceptualizing the idea of state dependent quantum cloning machine (SD-QCM), and in that process, we introduce different types of SD-QCMs, namely, orthogonal and non-orthogonal cloners. We derive the conditions for which the fidelity of these cloners will become independent of the input state. We note that such a construction allows us to maximize the cloning fidelity at the cost of having partial information of the input state. In the discussion on broadcasting of entanglement, we start with a general two qubit state as our resource and later we consider a specific example of Bell diagonal state. We apply both state dependent and state independent cloners (orthogonal and non-orthogonal), locally and non locally, on input resource state and obtain a range for broadcasting of entanglement in terms of the input state parameters. Our results highlight several instances where the state dependent cloners outperform their state independent counterparts in broadcasting entanglement. Our study provides a comparative perspective on the broadcasting of entanglement via cloning in two qubit scenario, when we have some knowledge of the resource ensemble versus a situation when we have no such information.

description: The competition between the long range Coulomb attractive and the short range repulsive interaction in ionic nanocrystals creates an effective negative pressure, which causes the lattice parameter a to increase with decreasing nanoparticle size d. A simple ``Madelung model'' is used to predict the dependence of the lattice parameter for CeO2 and BaTiO3 on d, delta a/a = alpha/d, for alpha = 0.22 A and 0.18 A respectively. The model predictions are compared with experimental results.

description: On the basis of a brief reconstruction of the causes and impacts of the Euro crisis, this paper explores, counterfactually and hypothetically, whether the new Euro regime, insisting on fiscal austerity and supply-side reforms, could have prevented the rise of the crisis or is able to deal with its disastrous economic and social impact. A comparison with the likely impact of transfer- based Keynesian reflation suggests that, in both cases, economic success is uncertain, while both approaches are likely to produce severely negative sideeffects. In light of such dismal policy choices, attempts to politicize European election campaigns are more likely to provoke unmanageable policy conflict than to overcome the input-oriented, democratic deficit of European economic governance.

description: Purpose: A population-based case-control study was conducted in Yangjiang and Enping areas in South China to assess whether the risk of lens opacity induced by natural high background radiation exposure is modulated by polymorphisms of ATM and TP53. Materials and methods: A total of 133 cases who were diagnosed with cortical and posterior subcapsular (PSC) opacity were recruited, and 419 healthy controls were selected through counter-matching in terms of radiation status. Genomic DNA from all the participants was genotyped with the Illumina platform for four single nucleotide polymorphisms of ATM (rs189037, rs373759, and rs4585) and TP53 (rs1042522). The cumulative lens dose received during the entire life was estimated based on annual indoor and outdoor radiation doses and gender- and age-specific occupancy factors. Non-conditional logistic regression was performed to calculate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results:ATM rs189037 and TP53 rs1042522 were significantly related to cortical and PSC opacity. The risk of opacity was higher when individuals carried the A allele of ATM rs189037 and C allele of TP53 rs1042522, compared with GG genotype. ATM rs189037 A allele carriers (AG/AA) and TP53 rs1042522 C allele carriers (CG/CC) combined with a cumulative lens dose of 100 mGy or higher showed statistically significant opacity risks (OR = 5.51, 95% CI: 1.47–20.66; OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.10–6.60). Conclusion: The A allele of ATM rs189037 and C allele of TP53 rs1042522 increased the risk of lens opacity induced by radiation. These polymorphisms in ATM and TP53 might modify the risk of cortical and PSC opacity induced by chronic and prolonged low-dose radiation.
Analytical results for the entanglement Hamiltonian of a free-fermion chain

description: We study the ground-state entanglement Hamiltonian for an interval of N sites in a free-fermion chain with arbitrary filling. By relating it to a commuting operator, we find explicit expressions for its matrix elements in the large-N limit. The results agree with numerical calculations and show that deviations from the conformal prediction persist even for large systems.

description: We propose a new data analysis approach for the efficient post-processing of bundles of finite element data from numerical simulations. The approach is based on the mathematical principles of symmetry. We consider the case where simulations of an industrial product are contained in the space of surface meshes embedded in R^3. Furthermore, we assume that distance preserving transformations exist, albeit unknown, which map simulation to simulation. In this setting, a discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator can be constructed on the mesh, which is invariant to isometric transformations and therefore valid for all simulations. The eigenfunctions of such an operator are used as a common basis for all (isometric) simulations. One can use the projection coefficients instead of the full simulations for further analysis. To extend the idea of invariance, we employ a discrete Fokker-Planck operator, that in the continuous limit converges to an operator invariant to a nonlinear transformation, and use its eigendecomposition accordingly. The data analysis approach is applied to time-dependent datasets from numerical car crash simulations. One observes that only a few spectral coefficients are necessary to describe the data variability, and low dimensional structures are obtained. The eigenvectors are seen to recover different independent variation modes such as translation, rotation, or global and local deformations. An effective analysis of the data from bundles of numerical simulations is made possible, in particular an analysis for many simulations in time.

description: In response to stalled struggles for equal and integrated education by African American students, parents, teachers, and activists, Harlem in the late 1960s saw a number of independent schools emerge that drew inspiration and rhetoric from Black Power ideas. This dissertation investigated the reasons for these schools’ emergence in Harlem; what goals these institutions pursued; how they translated their goals, purposes, and ideas into pedagogical practices and curricula; and how these were adapted to the specific challenges faced by the schools by closely examining three such initiatives: West Harlem Liberation School; the storefront academies run by the New York Urban League; and West Side Street Academy, later renamed Academy for Black and Latin Education (ABLE). All of these schools incorporated values and ideas that were central to the philosophy of Black Power, such as an emphasis on self-determination, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, Black history, and cultural pride. However, the ways in which these core ideas of Black Power were interpreted and put into practice varied significantly between different initiatives, especially as they had to navigate daily necessities such as applying for funding or making compromises with corporate donors, foundations, or the New York City Board of Education. Thus, while some of these educational institutions explicitly pursued activist agendas—by positioning themselves as a means to pressure the public school system into fundamental change or by conceptualizing education explicitly as a tool for collectively dismantling systems of oppression—others came to favor approaches designed to uplift individual students rather than pursue more radical social change. While scholars have extensively studied the fights for desegregation and community control of public schools in Harlem and New York City, the establishment of these Black alternative educational initiatives outside of the public school system as an extension of the movement for quality and equitable education—and as a part of social justice movements, including the Black Power Movement, more broadly—has rarely been considered. These schools and their approaches also provide a unique lens through which to study and re-evaluate Black Power ideas: They reflect the diversity and contradictions of the movement, the different goals and avenues for change that activists within that movement envisioned, and how the theories and ideas of Black Power were translated into practice on the local level in specific issues.

description: Inhomogeneous lattice paths are introduced as ordered sequences of rectangular Young tableaux thereby generalizing recent work on the Kostka polynomials by Nakayashiki and Yamada and by Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon. Motivated by these works and by Kashiwara's theory of crystal bases we define a statistic on paths yielding two novel classes of polynomials. One of these provides a generalization of the Kostka polynomials while the other, which we name the A$_{n-1}$ supernomial, is a $q$-deformation of the expansion coefficients of products of Schur polynomials. Many well-known results for Kostka polynomials are extended leading to representations of our polynomials in terms of a charge statistic on Littlewood-Richardson tableaux and in terms of fermionic configuration sums. Several identities for the generalized Kostka polynomials and the A$_{n-1}$ supernomials are proven or conjectured. Finally, a connection between the supernomials and Bailey's lemma is made.

description: Environment modeling in autonomous driving is realized by two fundamental approaches, grid-based and feature-based approach. Both methods interpret the environment differently and show some situation-dependent beneficial realizations. In order to use the advantages of both methods, a combination makes sense. This work presents a fusion, which establishes an association between the representations of environment modeling and then decoupled from this performs a fusion of the information. Thus, there is no need to adapt the environment models. The developed fusion generates new hypotheses, which are closer to reality than a representation alone. This algorithm itself does not use object model assumptions, in effect this fusion can be applied to different object hypotheses. In addition, this combination allows the objects to be tracked over a longer period of time. This is evaluated with a quantitative evaluation on real sequences in real-time.
