description: The purpose of this study is to give a performance comparison between several classic hand-crafted and deep key-point detector and descriptor methods. In particular, we consider the following classical algorithms: SIFT, SURF, ORB, FAST, BRISK, MSER, HARRIS, KAZE, AKAZE, AGAST, GFTT, FREAK, BRIEF and RootSIFT, where a subset of all combinations is paired into detector-descriptor pipelines. Additionally, we analyze the performance of two recent and perspective deep detector-descriptor models, LF-Net and SuperPoint. Our benchmark relies on the HPSequences dataset that provides real and diverse images under various geometric and illumination changes. We analyze the performance on three evaluation tasks: keypoint verification, image matching and keypoint retrieval. The results show that certain classic and deep approaches are still comparable, with some classic detector-descriptor combinations overperforming pretrained deep models. In terms of the execution times of tested implementations, SuperPoint model is the fastest, followed by ORB.

description: We discuss in some detail the properties of a novel class of Weyl-conformally invariant p-brane theories which describe intrinsically light-like branes for any odd world-volume dimension and whose dynamics significantly differs from that of the ordinary (conformally non-invariant) Nambu-Goto p-branes. We present explicit solutions of the WILL-brane (Weyl-Invariant Light-Like brane) equations of motion in various gravitational backgrounds of physical relevance exhibiting the following new phenomena: (i) In spherically symmetric static backgrounds the WILL-brane automatically positions itself on (materializes) the event horizon of the corresponding black hole solutions, thus providing an explicit dynamical realization of the membrane paradigm in black hole physics; (ii) In product spaces (of interest in Kaluza-Klein context) the WILL-brane wrappes non-trivially around the compact (internal) dimensions and moves as a whole with the speed of light in the non-compact (space-time) dimensions.

description: Let $\mathbb{F}$ be the underlying base field of characteristic $p>3 $ and denote by $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}$ the even parts of the finite-dimensional generalized Witt Lie superalgebra $W$ and the special Lie superalgebra $S,$ respectively. We first give the generator sets of the Lie algebras $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}.$ Using certain properties of the canonical tori of $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S},$ we then determine the derivation algebra of $\mathcal{W}$ and the derivation space of $\mathcal{S} $ to $\mathcal{W},$ where $\mathcal{W}$ is viewed as $\mathcal{S} $-module by means of the adjoint representation. As a result, we describe explicitly the derivation algebra of $\mathcal{S}.$ Furthermore, we prove that the outer derivation algebras of $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S} $ are abelian Lie algebras or metabelian Lie algebras with explicit structure. In particular, we give the dimension formulae of the derivation algebras and outer derivation algebras of $\mathcal{W}$ and $\mathcal{S}.$ Thus we may make a comparison between the even parts of the (outer) superderivation algebras of $W$ and $S$ and the (outer) derivation algebras of the even parts of $W$ and $S,$ respectively.

description: The effect of conical intersections (CIs) on electronic relaxation, transitions from excited states to ground states, is well studied, but their influence on hyperfine quenching in a reactant molecule is not known. Here, we report on ultracold collision dynamics of the hydroxyl free-radical OH with Sr atoms leading to quenching of OH hyperfine states. Our quantum-mechanical calculations of this process reveal that quenching is efficient due to anomalous molecular dynamics in the vicinity of the conical intersection at collinear geometry. We observe wide scattering resonance features in both elastic and inelastic rate coefficients at collision energies below k x 10 mK. They are identified as either p- or d-wave shape resonances. We also describe the electronic potentials relevant for these non-reactive collisions, their diabatization procedure, as well as the non-adiabatic coupling between the diabatic potentials near the CIs.

We demonstrate a range of periodicity analyses with bursts from FRB180916, FRB121102 and FRB180814. Our results for FRB180916 and FRB121102 are consistent with published results. For FRB180814, we did not detect any significant periodic episodes. The realfast-detected and other high-frequency bursts for FRB180916 tend to lie at the beginning of the activity window, indicating a possible phase-frequency relation. The python package $\texttt{frbpa}$ can be used to reproduce and expand on this analysis to test models for repeating FRBs.

description: We show, using a tight-binding model and time-dependent density-functional theory, that a quasi-steady state current can be established dynamically in a finite nanoscale junction without any inelastic effects. This is simply due to the geometrical constriction experienced by the electron wavepackets as they propagate through the junction. We also show that in this closed non-equilibrium system two local electron occupation functions can be defined on each side of the nanojunction which approach Fermi distributions with increasing number of atoms in the electrodes. The resultant conductance and current-voltage characteristics at quasi-steady state are in agreement with those calculated within the static scattering approach.

Theory of Interacting Bloch Electrons in a Magnetic Field

description: We study interacting electrons in a periodic potential and a uniform magnetic field ${\bf B}$ taking the spin-orbit interaction into account. We first establish a perturbation expansion for those electrons with respect to the Bloch states in zero field. It is shown that the expansion can be performed with the zero-field Feynman diagrams of satisfying the momentum and energy conservation laws. We thereby clarify the structures of the self-energy and the thermodynamic potential in a finite magnetic field. We also provide a prescription of calculating the electronic structure in a finite magnetic field within the density functional theory starting from the zero-field energy-band structure. On the basis of these formulations, we derive explicit expressions for the magnetic susceptibility of ${\bf B}\to{\bf 0}$ at various approximation levels on the interaction, particularly within the density functional theory, which include the result of Roth [J. Phys. Chem. Solids {\bf 23} (1962) 433] as the non-interacting limit. We finally study the de Haas-van Alphen oscillation in metals to show that quasiparticles at the Fermi level with the many-body effective mass are directly relevant to the phenomenon. The present argument may be more transparent than that by Luttinger [Phys. Rev. {\bf 121} (1961) 1251] of using the gauge invariance and has an advantage that the change of the band structure with the field may be incorporated.

description: The objective of this paper is to develop a sample efficient end-to-end deep learning method for self-driving cars, where we attempt to increase the value of the information extracted from samples, through careful analysis obtained from each call to expert driverś policy. End-to-end imitation learning is a popular method for computing self-driving car policies. The standard approach relies on collecting pairs of inputs (camera images) and outputs (steering angle, etc.) from an expert policy and fitting a deep neural network to this data to learn the driving policy. Although this approach had some successful demonstrations in the past, learning a good policy might require a lot of samples from the expert driver, which might be resource-consuming. In this work, we develop a novel framework based on the Safe Dateset Aggregation (safe DAgger) approach, where the current learned policy is automatically segmented into different trajectory classes, and the algorithm identifies trajectory segments or classes with the weak performance at each step. Once the trajectory segments with weak performance identified, the sampling algorithm focuses on calling the expert policy only on these segments, which improves the convergence rate. The presented simulation results show that the proposed approach can yield significantly better performance compared to the standard Safe DAgger algorithm while using the same amount of samples from the expert.

description: The need to expand the market share of Alabama fruits and vegetable producers necessitates an understanding of the attributes that would attract potential wholesale-produce buyers in the Lower Mississippi Delta Region (LMDR). A survey was developed and administered to over three thousand produce wholesale buyers in the LMDR; 317 returned surveys were analyzed for this study. Results indicate that non-Alabama wholesale-produce buyers would buy Alabama produce if the produce meet expected quality if adequate volume existed, if it were convenient, and if they were aware that the produce existed in Alabama. Produce such as peaches, sweet corn, beans, potatoes, and watermelons have greater market potential if volume is adequate and price competitive.

Novel push-model framework for realizing multi-service MPEG4 streams in broadcast applications
Creators: name: Mohamed, Amr M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, a new broadcast framework is proposed for realizing the MPEG4 media content. This framework defines some possible techniques that may be used for realizing MPEG4 streams in broadcast applications. The thesis proposes solutions to some of the problems associated with broadcasting MPEG-4 media streams regarding service advertisement, media streams management, transport-level streams synchronization, and bandwidth control. To verify the functionality of this framework, a client/server software has been developed, which includes two main modules for service advertisement and MPEG-4 media streams management and delivery. The software architecture adopts the push model for data distribution in all modules to minimize the information delivered on the upstream network media. The service advertisement module adopts SAP/SDP protocol stack for announcing services' description. The media streams management module adopts the MPEG- 4 DMIF standard for media streams management. The framework comprises the main portions for broadcasting MPEG-4 streams including data channels multiplexing to group the data channels' flows to one or more network flows, and client random access to allow clients to access the service at any time during the service presentation. The implementation uses MPEG-4 IM1 reference software for elementary streams creation, decoding, and synchronization. The implementation tackles some issues related to the broadcast data delivery. These issues include transport-level data channels synchronization for synchronizing service's audio-visual objects before data transport. The implementation also includes two algorithms for server's bandwidth control. ServicePacketDrop algorithm controls the server's bandwidth on the service level while ObjectPacketDrop control the server's bandwidth on the object level.

description: National Weather Service Weather Forecast Offices verify snowfall for Winter Storm Warnings by computing the mean snowfall within each NWS forecast zone.  To determine the mean snowfall within each zone, snowfall reports are added together and divided by the number of reports.  This legacy method does not factor in distance between points and is heavily weighted towards areas of greater population where typically more snowfall observations exist.  This method can be unrepresentative of outlying and higher terrain areas where snowfall can vary significantly. A gridded snowfall verification method using Geographic Information Systems has been developed at NWS Albany, New York.  The verification is still performed by calculating the zoneaveraged snowfall, but utilizes a gridded methodology for a more innovative and representative approach.  A contoured snowfall analysis map is created using an interpolation scheme to obtain a graphical representation of observed snowfall across a given area.  Zonal statistics are then calculated using the observed snowfall analysis map, resulting in a more representative mean snowfall for each forecast zone.  The end result is a more precise snowfall verification. A method for creating error plots for gridded snowfall forecasts has also been developed and is introduced.  The error plots are calculated by taking the difference between NWS gridded snowfall forecasts and observed snowfall analysis maps after an event.  Examples of observed snowfall maps and forecast error plots from the 2013-2014 winter season are presented and discussed.

description: Ab-initio simulations of quantum transport commonly focus on a central region which is considered to be connected to infinite, periodic leads through which the current flows. The electronic structure of these distant leads is normally obtained from an equilibrium calculation, ignoring the self-consistent response of the leads to the current. We examine the consequences of this, and show that the electrostatic potential is effectively being approximated by the difference between electrochemical potentials and that this approximation is incompatible with asymptotic charge neutrality. In a test calculation for a simple metal-vacuum-metal junction, we find large errors in the non-equilibrium properties calculated with this approximation, in the limit of small vacuum gaps. We provide a simple scheme by which these errors may be corrected.

description: The Axelrod model of cultural dissemination has been widely studied in the field of statistical mechanics. The traditional version of this agent-based model is to assign a cultural vector of $F$ components to each agent, where each component can take one of $Q$ cultural trait. In this work, we introduce a novel set of mean field master equations to describe the model for $F=2$ and $F=3$ in complete graphs where all indirect interactions are explicitly calculated. We find that the transition between different macroscopic states is driven by initial conditions (set by parameter $Q$) and the size of the system $N$, who measures the balance between linear and cubic terms in master equations. We also find that this analytical approach fully agrees with simulations where the system does not break up during the dynamics and a scaling relation related to missing links reestablishes the agreement when this happens.

description: We investigate the possibility that the amplitude of scalar density perturbations may be damped after inflation. This would imply that CMB anisotropies do not uniquely fix the amplitude of the perturbations generated during inflation and that the present tensor-to-scalar ratio might be larger than produced in inflation, increasing the prospects of detection of primordial gravitational radiation. It turns out, however, that the damping of density perturbations is hard to achieve.

description: We report a method for probing electromechanical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes(CNTs). This method is based on AFM measurements on a doubly clamped suspended CNT electrostatically deflected by a gate electrode. We measure the maximum deflection as a function of the applied gate voltage. Data from different CNTs scale into an universal curve within the experimental accuracy, in agreement with a continuum model prediction. This method and the general validity of the scaling law constitute a very useful tool for designing actuators and in general conducting nanowire-based NEMS.

description: Agricultural development in both the United States and Australia has led to suboptimal levels of environmental degradation. While both countries face similar forms of agricultural environmental degradation, the different resource endowment and population distributions have resulted in a different incidence of the costs of these problems. Increasing demand for environmental services and better information on off-site damages have led to increasing demand for reform of agricultural, rural development, and environmental programs to eliminate biases against practices viewed as more environmentally compatible.

description: The neutral charge state plays an important role in quantum information and sensing applications based on nitrogen-vacancy centers. However, the orbital and spin dynamics remain unexplored. Here, we use resonant excitation of single centers to directly reveal the fine structure, enabling selective addressing of spin-orbit states. Through pump-probe experiments, we find the orbital relaxation time (430ns at 4.7K) and measure its temperature-dependence up to 11.8K. Finally we reveal the spin relaxation time (1.5s), and realize projective high-fidelity single-shot readout of the spin state ($\geq98\%$).

description: In this work, we consider atomic spontaneous emission in a system consisting of two identical two-level atoms interacting dispersively with the quantized electromagnetic field in a high-Q cavity. We investigate the destructive effect of the atomic decay on the generation of maximally entangled states, following the proposal by Zheng S B and Guo G C (2000 Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 2392). In particular, we analyze the fidelity of teleportation performed using such a noisy channel and calculatethe maximum spontaneous decay rate we may have in order to realize teleportation.

description: Solution-processed quantum dots (QDs) have a high potential for fabricating low cost, flexible and large-scale solar energy harvesting devices. It has recently been demonstrated that hybrid devices employing a single monovalent cation perovskite solution for PbS QD surface passivation exhibit enhanced photovoltaic performance when compared to standard ligand passivation. Herein we demonstrate that the use of a triple cation Cs0.05(MA0.17FA0.83)0.95Pb(I0.9Br0.1)3 perovskite composition for surface passivation of the quantum dots results in highly efficient solar cells, which maintain 96 % of their initial performance after 1200h shelf storage. We confirm perovskite shell formation around the PbS nanocrystals by a range of spectroscopic techniques as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. We find that the triple cation shell results in a favorable energetic alignment to the core of the dot, resulting in reduced recombination due to charge confinement without limiting transport in the active layer. Consequently, photovoltaic devices fabricated via a single-step film deposition reached a maximum AM1.5G power conversion efficiency of 11.3 % surpassing most previous reports of PbS solar cells employing perovskite passivation.

description: A comparative study of magnetic behavior in a DC magnetic field up to 19 Tesla has been undertaken on different Nb3Sn samples, i.e. single crystals, polycrystal samples and multifilamentary wires. From the 1st and 3rd harmonics of the AC magnetic susceptibility a peak effect was experimentally observed in the single crystal and in the polycrystal, whereas this phenomenon is absent in the measured wires. The corresponding H vs T phase diagram reveals a different behavior between wires on one hand and polycrystalline and single crystal samples on the other. In particular, from the 3rd harmonics it has been observed that vortex thermally activated flux creep phenomena are relevant in the wires, whereas the static critical state models are more appropriate to describe single crystals.

description: We address a problem of identifying a given pure state with one of two reference pure states, when no classical knowledge on the reference states is given, but a certain number of copies of them are available. We assume the input state is guaranteed to be either one of the two reference states. This problem, which we call quantum pure state identification, is a natural generalization of the standard state discrimination problem. The two reference states are assumed to be independently distributed in a unitary invariant way in the whole state space. We give a complete solution for the averaged maximal success probability of this problem for an arbitrary number of copies of the reference states in general dimension. It is explicitly shown that the obtained mean identification probability approaches the mean discrimination probability as the number of the reference copies goes to infinity.

description: Estimates of the marginal internal rate of return to expenditures for research by the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station are presented. Estimates are performed using ridge regression under an array of specifications, including alternative functional forms, lag structures, costs of public funds, and variable specifications. The results are consistent with many previous results that imply an underinvestment in agricultural research.

 Calamobia Gistel, 1856a: 378.
 Type species. Donacia equiseti Fabricius, 1798, by monotypy.
 Current status. New junior synonym of Macroplea Samouelle, 1819.
 Comments. The name is available based on Article 12.2.5 (ICZN 1999). GISTEL (1856a) originally included only a single species-group name: ‘ equiseti ’, which applies to Donacia equiseti Fabricius, 1798, currently a junior synonym of Macroplea appendiculata (Panzer, 1794). Therefore, the name Calamobia is available and represents a new junior synonym of Macroplea.

description: Expected prices and expected net returns from cropping activities are used to estimate soybean acreage response in the Northeast. Futures prices and lagged cash prices constitute proxies for price expectations. Expected net returns appear as good or better than expected prices for estimating acreage response. Short-run and long-run elasticities of soybean acreage with respect to expected net returns from soybeans are estimated as 0.5 and 1.6 for the northeast region. Soybean acreage appears less responsive to changes in expected net returns than to expected changes in prices.

description: Control of nonpoint sources of pollution has traditionally been within the domain of local decision makers in recognition of the critical importance of site-specific issues. More recently attention has turned to the issue of what can and should be done at the regional or national level, while recognizing the importance of site-specific attributes. This paper describes and illustrates an approach for analysis of nonpoint pollution problems that focuses jointly at the aggregate and disaggregate levels of the problem. The approach is based on linking two tools of analysis, the microparameter distribution model and the Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Although there are significant challenges to be overcome in implementing such an approach, linkage of these two policy tools has considerable promise in dealing with site-specific issues within an aggregate framework. Furthermore, GIS is potentially an important source of data for economists to exploit, given the momentum of GIS systems throughout the nation and given the relatively disaggregate nature of the data.
The Influence of Nonextensivity on Orientational Ordering in Liquid Crystal Systems with Variable Molecular Shape

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: A generalized model taking into account the photoisomerization influence on the nematic ordering is presented. This generalized theory is used to investigate the effect of the nonextensivity on the concentration dependence of the long-range order parameter. The q-dependent variation of the concentration of cis-trans isomers and of the order parameter with the time of exposure to the illumination is investigated within nonextensivity. It is also shown that for sufficiently long exposition of the mesophase to the illumination the nematic phase cannot disappear for some value of the entropic index, coming from Tsallis statistics. Moreover it is shown that long range interactions or the fractal structure in the liquid crystalline system might affect the characteristics of the phase transition in the physical system. We think therefore that this conclusion might shed light on the interaction potential energy terms in the similar system in future possible experiments, even to be performed on new objects with different symmetries.

The influence of flow on the jet quenching power in heavy-ion collisions

description: The flow pattern and evolution of the medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions can have significant influence on the energy loss of hard partons traversing the medium. We demonstrate that within a range of assumptions for longitudinal and transverse flow which are all compatible with the measured hadronic single particle distributions, the quenching power of the medium can vary within almost a factor five. Thus, the choice of the medium evolution is one of the biggest uncertainties in jet quenching calculations and needs to be addressed with some care.
