A sampled texture prior for image super-resolution by Pickup, LC, Roberts, SJ, Zisserman, A

“…Typical approaches try to reconstruct a high-resolution image using the sub-pixel displacements of several low- resolution images, usually regularized by a generic smoothness prior over the high-resolution image space. …”

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills, spherical branes, and precision holography by Bobev, N, Bomans, P, Gautason, FF, Minahan, JA, Nedelin, A

“…We show how this divergence can be regularized both in QFT and in supergravity. We also consider d=7 with a small negative 't Hooft coupling and show that the free energy and Wilson loop vacuum expectation value agree with the results from supergravity after addressing some subtleties.…”

Understanding the motives and intention of blood donation during the pandemic. by Yusof, Junaidah, Ab Rahim, Sakinah, Mohd. Noor, Sabariah, Panatik, Siti Aisyah, Wan Husin, Wan Nurul Izza, Bungsu, Mohd. Sharial

“…INTRODUCTION: In every country, an adequate and reliable blood supply can be assured by a stable base of regular, voluntary, and unpaid blood donors. However, with the strike of COVID-19 around the world, fewer donors have come forward to donate blood since the government's movement control order. …”

The Architectural Layout of Long-Term Care Units: Relationships between Support for Residents’ Well-Being and for Caregivers’ Burnout and Resilience by Rom, Yifat, Morag, Ido, Palgi, Yuval, Isaacson, Michal

“…Supporting residents’ physical well-being was correlated with increased caregiver resilience in dementia units, and with increased burnout and decreased resilience in regular nursing units. Layouts supporting social well-being showed inconsistent correlations with caregivers’ resilience indexes in dementia units, and with burnout and resilience indexes in regular nursing units. …”

Super-resolution enhancement of text image sequences by Capel, D, Zisserman, A

“…We then propose two estimators suitable for the enhancement of text images: a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator based on a Huber prior and an estimator regularized using the total variation norm. We demonstrate the improved noise robustness of these approaches over the Irani and Peleg estimator. …”

Learning to count objects in images by Lempitsky, V, Zisserman, A

“…Learning to infer such density can be formulated as a minimization of a regularized risk quadratic cost function. We introduce a new loss function, which is well-suited for such learning, and at the same time can be computed efficiently via a maximum subarray algorithm. …”

Simplified test of universality in lattice QCD by Adams, David H.

“…A simplified test of universality in lattice QCD is performed by analytically evaluating the continuous Euclidean time limits of various lattice fermion determinants, both with and without a Wilson term to lift the fermion doubling on the Euclidean time axis, and comparing them with each other and with the zeta-regularized fermion determinant in the continuous time–lattice space setting. …”
