Lane-aware image enhancement for lane detection in rain (part B - communications) by Tian, Zichen

“…Besides, RVPGNet features in four innovative combination layers and algorithms: 1) To save computational resources, a new information combination layer, called the 4-tiling layer, was proposed and applied; Two new feeding schemes, called 2) N-map layer and 3) 2-D Gaussian feeding layer, were designed to utilize the vanishing point better and avoid training being trapped at the saddle point; 4) The network is implemented in Caffe framework and currently under construction in PyTorch framework. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…This association enables us to construct a structure contour map of the fault plane. The large step in the base of seismicity downdip from the SGP-GH-CVB fault system probably reflects a several kilometers offset of the midcrustal brittle-plastic transition. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…This thesis explores the structural ice analogue cadmium cyanide, Cd(CN)2, a cubic negative thermal expansion (NTE) material, in which the orientation of cyanide ions maps onto the spin orientation in spin-ices. Cd(CN)₂ is shown here to display spin-ice physics at room temperature. …”

Whole genome sequence and annotation dataset of rare actinobacteria, Barrientosiimonas humi gen. nov., sp. nov. 39 T from Antarctica by Chong, Sin Yee, Azmi, Aida Azrina, Cheah, Yoke Kqueen
