We investigate the far-from-equilibrium behavior of the Boltzmann equation for a gas of massless scalar field particles with quartic (tree level) self-interactions ($λφ^4$) in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetime. Using a new covariant gen...
Hand pose estimation is more challenging than body pose estimation due to severe articulation, self-occlusion and high dexterity of the hand. Current approaches often rely on a popular body pose algorithm, such as the Convolutional Pose Machine (CPM)...
With the advancement of affordable self-driving vehicles using complicated nonlinear optimization but limited computation resources, computation time becomes a matter of concern. Other factors such as actuator dynamics and actuator command processing...
Just makes the message allthemore powerful - always remember to put yourself in others' shoes....
Most self-service payment terminals require network connectivity for processing electronic payments. The necessity to maintain network connectivity increases costs, introduces cybersecurity risks, and significantly limits the number of places where t...

I'm 24 F and have been with my partner (24 M) for five and a half years. He's my best friend and we do everything together and clique so well, in every department but sex. It is eviscerating my self e...
We define the nervous system of a robot as the processing unit responsible for controlling the robot body, together with the links between the processing unit and the sensorimotor hardware of the robot - i.e., the equivalent of the central nervous sy...
In this paper we seek for relevant information on the asymptotic cosmological dynamics of the Brans--Dicke theory of gravity for several self-interaction potentials. By means of the simplest tools of the dynamical systems theory, it is shown that the...
In coalition formation games self-organized coalitions are created as a result of the strategic interactions of independent agents. For each couple of agents $(i,j)$, weight $w_{i,j}=w_{j,i}$ reflects how much agents $i$ and $j$ benefit from belongin...
Cancer survivors face unique emotional challenges that impact their quality of life. Mobile diary entries provide a promising method for tracking emotional states, improving self-awareness, and promoting well-being outcome. This paper aims to, throug...
A microscopic, stochastic, minimal model for collective and cohesive motion of identical self-propelled particles is introduced. Even though the particles interact strictly locally in a very noisy manner, we show that cohesion can be maintained, ev...
We present a sensor that can measure light and wirelessly communicate the measurement, without the need for an external power source or a battery. Our sensor, called cricket, harvests energy from incident light. It is asleep for most of the time and...
1-click, self-hosted deployment of OpenVPN with DNS ad blocking sinkhole (⭐ 1108)
We study the problem of hiring a team of selfish agents to perform a task. Each agent is assumed to own one or more elements of a set system, and the auctioneer is trying to purchase a feasible solution by conducting an auction. Our goal is to design...
This paper presents a self-contained system for the robust utilization of aerial robots in the autonomous exploration of cave environments to help human explorers, first responders, and speleologists. The proposed system is generally applicable to an...
autonomous cities have the right to become autonomous communities. The autonomous communities exercise their right to self-government within the limits
As promised, here’s part two of Meghan’s top 20 cringiest moments, many of which were suggested by the sub. We all have clumsy or selfish moments we regret forever, and unfortunately for Meghan,...
The chain fountain phenomenon, also known as self-siphoning beads, Newton's beads, or Mould effect, is a physical phenomenon observed with a chain placed
