Training deep network models for accurate recognition of texts in scene images by Zhang, Weilun

“…Text recognition from scene images constitutes still a very challenging task because of various backgrounds, variations in size and space, as well as irregular arrangements. The first half of this paper will study and analyse a deep learning model for word recognition in scene images using deep learning. …”

Reflection and refraction of SH waves at a combined interface by Fan, Hui, Long, Jianmin

“…In the present paper, we investigated the reflection and refraction of SH waves at a non-ideal interface between two elastic half-spaces. By modelling the non-ideal interface as two thin membranes (in the scope of surface/interfacial elasticity) and a layer of springs between the two membranes, we established a combined model for the non-ideal interface. …”

Existence and uniqueness of solutions for delay boundary value problems with p-Laplacian on infinite intervals by Wei, Yuming, Wong, Patricia Jia Yiing

“…This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions for boundary value problems with p-Laplacian delay differential equations on the half-line. The existence of solutions is derived from the Schauder fixed point theorem, whereas the uniqueness of solution is established by the Banach contraction principle. …”

Emotions shape attitudes towards wolf conservation management in the Italian Alps by Trebo, S, Cary, E, Wartmann, FM

“…We used multiple regression analysis to determine which factors such as emotions and knowledge or belonging to a particular stakeholder group explained variations in attitudes towards wolf management. We found that almost half of our respondents felt scared about the presence of wolves, and that people who had less factually correct knowledge about wolves were more afraid than people who had better factual knowledge. …”

GES: generalized exponential splatting for efficient radiance field rendering by Hamdi, A, Melas-Kyriazi, L, Mai, J, Qian, G, Liu, R, Vondrick, C, Ghanem, B, Vedaldi, A

“…With the aid of a frequency-modulated loss, GES achieves competitive performance in novel-view synthesis benchmarks while requiring less than half the memory storage of Gaussian Splatting and increasing the rendering speed by up to 39%. …”

Unravelling 2-oxoglutarate turnover and substrate oxidation dynamics in 5-methylcytosine-oxidising TET enzymes by Šimelis, K, Belle, R, Kawamura, A

“…Here, we profile 5-methylcytosine (5mC)-oxidising Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes using MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy methods and reveal a high degree of substrate oxidation-independent 2OG turnover under a range of conditions. 2OG decarboxylase activity is substantial (>20% 2OG turned over after 1 h) in the absence of substrate, while, under substrate-saturating conditions, half of total 2OG consumption is uncoupled from substrate oxidation. 2OG kinetics are affected by substrate and non-substrate DNA oligomers, and the sequence-agnostic effects are observed in amoeboflagellate Naegleria gruberi NgTet1 and human TET2. …”

Aging-resistant breakdown performance of polypropylene nanodielectrics. by Azmi, Aizat, Lau, Kwan Yiew, Tan, Chee Wei, Ayop, Razman, Kuan, Yong Ching, Alun Vaughan, Alun Vaughan

“…In contrast, all the nanodielectrics experience much less detrimental effects on the breakdown performance even after thermo-oxidative aging, with the most substantial reduction being almost half that of the pure PP. Possible mechanisms governing changes in the breakdown performance, especially under thermo-oxidative aging, are discussed. …”
