Salient keypoint detectors and compact feature descriptors for 3D perception by Prakhya, Sai Manoj

“…Next, we consider a 3D perception problem, SLAM with an RGB-D camera by solely re- lying on depth data. As a solution, we propose Sparse Depth Odometry (SDO), in which the main contribution lies in the proposal of a new 3D keypoint detection module. …”

Phonon screening of excitons in atomically thin semiconductors by Lee, W, Alvertis, AM, Li, Z, Louie, SG, Filip, MR, Neaton, JB, Kioupakis, E

“…We focus on atomically thin GaN quantum wells embedded in AlN and identify specific phonons in the surrounding material, AlN, that dramatically alter the lowest-lying exciton in monolayer GaN via screening. Our studies provide new intuition beyond standard models into the interplay among structural properties, phonon characteristics, and exciton properties in atomically thin semiconductors, and have implications for future experiments.…”

Identification of RAPD markers closely linked to the mlo-locus in barley by Manninen, O.M., Turpeinen, T., Nissilä, E.

“…Seven linked RAPD markers were found, the closest lying 1.6 cM away from the resistance gene. When eight barley varieties were assayed for the presence of this band, F4-980, it was found in the resistant varieties but not in the susceptible ones. …”

Investigation of indoor thermal comfort and energy demand in different locations along the sub-Himalayan belt - a simulation based study by Thapa, Samar, Zaki, Sheikh Ahmad

“…Additionally, it was seen that the thermal environment and comfort both declined more rapidly with elevation in the locations lying in the western Himalayas as compared to those in the eastern Himalayas.…”

Performance in the wartime archive : Michio Ito at the Alien Enemy Hearing Board by Riordan, Kevin

“…In the documents establishing his detention, the Alien Enemy Hear-ing Board found Ito to be “an artist of artistic temperament, striking appear-ance, fine manners, cultured, educated and capable of any and all sorts of pro-paganda, espionage and sabotage.”3 In this essay, I interrogate this sentence’s central conjunction, the grammatical choreography that links art, culture, and education to propaganda, espionage, and sabotage.…”
