Sparse kernel approximations for efficient classification and detection by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…We demonstrate these ideas on image classification with Fisher kernels and object detection with deformable part models on the challenging PASCAL VOC data, obtaining five to ten-fold speed-ups as well as reducing memory use by an order of magnitude. © 2012 IEEE.…”

Overcoming registration uncertainty in image super-resolution: maximize or marginalize? by Pickup, L, Capel, D, Roberts, S, Zisserman, A

“…We also introduce a scheme to learn the parameters of the image prior as part of the super-resolution algorithm. We show examples on a number of real sequences including multiple stills, digital video, and DVDs of movies.…”

Dynamic placement in refugee resettlement by Ahani, N, Gölz, P, Procaccia, AD, Teytelboym, A, Trapp, AC

“…This dramatic improvement persists even when we incorporate a vast array of practical features of the refugee resettlement process including indivisible families, batching, and uncertainty with respect to the number of future arrivals. Our algorithm is now part of the Annie™ Moore optimization software used by a leading American refugee resettlement agency.…”

Apple's iPad City: subcontracting exploitation to China by Chan, J, Ngai, P, Selden, M

“…Many image-conscious technology companies, probably none more than Apple in our digital age, have professed ideals of corporate citizenship, environmental, labour and social responsibility in their supplier codes of conduct. This is in part a response to the growing anti-sweatshop movement in the electronics industry from within the United States, Europe, and more recently Greater China (Smith et al. 2006; Litzinger 2013). …”

The Nightingale / by Hannah, Kristin, author 369246, Macmillan Books (Online service) 655983

“…With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. …”

Synthesis and application of peptidoglycan oligomers as metabolic labeling agents for bacteria by He, Jingxi

“…One major bottleneck in these discoveries is the limited availability of tool compounds, derived from either natural or synthetic sources, to study the composition and dynamics of bacterial cell walls. The first part of this thesis describes an efficient and convenient approach to synthesize biohybrid peptidoglycan oligomers (PGOs), starting with the plentiful shrimp shell-derived biopolymer chitosan. …”

Sensitivity study of weather research and forecasting physical schemes and evaluation of cool coating effects in Singapore by weather research and forecasting coupled with urban ca... by Zhou, Mandi, Long, Yongping, Zhang, Xiaoqin, Donthu, Eswara V. S. K. K., Ng, Bing Feng, Wan, Man Pun

“…Cool roofs provide more cooling effect than cool roads since roofs cover more urban horizontal surfaces than roads do in the current setting. Part of the radiation reflected by cool roads could be absorbed by other urban structures, reducing its cooling effect as compared to cool roofs.…”
