Residual networks, which use a residual unit to supplement the identity mappings, enable very deep convolutional architecture to operate well, however, the residual architecture has been proved to be diverse and redundant, which may leads to low-effi...
This work is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves are anchored to the...
This thesis is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets attached to a ring, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves...
We modify the recent analytic formula given by Allen and Casper for the rate at which piecewise linear cosmic string loops lose energy to gravitational radiation to yield the analogous analytic formula for the rate at which loops radiate momentum....
This paper introduces a new type of image enhancement problem. Compared to traditional image enhancement methods, which mostly deal with pixel-wise modifications of a given photo, our proposed task is to crop an image which is embedded within a photo...
In C#/VB.NET/.NET, which loop runs faster, for or foreach? Ever since I read that a for loop works faster than a foreach loop a long time ago I assumed it stood true for all collections, generic
Oct 3, 2008 · Is there a way to step through a .bat script? The thing is, I have a build script , which calls a lot of other scripts, and I would like to see what is the order in which they are called, so that I...
We revisit the problem max-min degree arborescence, which was introduced by Bateni et al. [STOC'09] as a central special case of the general Santa Claus problem, which constitutes a notorious open question in approximation algorithms. In the former p...
Aug 29, 2023 · The correct phrase is "one of your sons" if you are referring to one son among multiple sons. "One of your son's" implies possession, suggesting something belonging to a single son, which …
Message digest algorithms are one of the underlying building blocks of blockchain platforms such as Ethereum. This paper analyses situations in which the message digest collision resistance property can be exploited by attackers. Two mitigations for...
Minions are small, yellow pill-shaped creatures which have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from single-celled organisms into beings which exist only to serve history's most despicable masters, …
We prove the interior $C^{1,1}$ regularity of the indirect utilities which solve a subclass of principal-agent problems originally considered by Figalli, Kim, and McCann. Our approach is based on construction of a suitable comparison function which,...
We present qualitative but precise description of the linear beam-size effect predicted for the processes in which unstable but long--living particles collide with each other. We derive physically pronounced equation for the events rate which prove...
During training, supervised object detection tries to correctly match the predicted bounding boxes and associated classification scores to the ground truth. This is essential to determine which predictions are to be pushed towards which solutions, or...
For finite q, we classify the countable, descendant-homogeneous digraphs in which the descendant set of any vertex is a q-valent tree. We also give conditions on a rooted digraph G which allow us to construct a countable descendant-homogeneous digrap...
Landfill mining and reclamation (LFMR) is a process which excavates and processes solid wastes which have previously been landfilled. The process aims
Similar to other industries, the software engineering domain is plagued by psychological diseases such as burnout, which lead developers to lose interest, exhibit lower activity and/or feel powerless. Prevention is essential for such diseases, which...
There are some major issues. First, the user-friendliness of Linux is terrible. Even when installing the OS, you have to choose which distro to use, which will turn casual users away. It’s confusing...
An official history is a work of history which is sponsored, authorised or endorsed by its subject. The term is most commonly used for histories which
Looking to get a vertical safe for gun storage, most of which are bullpups or AR15 style weapons, so some skinny ones meant for hunting rifles wont work. Also not looking to spend a ton, which is a co...
