Scalable near identical image and shot detection by Chum, O, Philbin, J, Isard, M, Zisserman, A

“…The second approach uses local feature descriptors (SIFT) and for retrieval exploits techniques used in the information retrieval community to compute approximate set intersections between documents using a min-Hash algorithm. The requirements for near-duplicate images vary according to the application, and we address two types of near duplicate definition: (i) being perceptually identical (e.g. up to noise, discretization effects, small photometric distortions etc); and (ii) being images of the same 3D scene (so allowing for viewpoint changes and partial occlusion). …”

Trapped photoelectrons during spacecraft charging in sunlight by Cahoy, K., Lai, S. T.

“…Motivated by the recent interest in trapped photoelectrons measured by the Van Allen Probes in the radiation belts, we calculate the extent of the trapped photoelectron area and the potential barrier as a function of the dipole strength and sun angle using the monopole- dipole model. We find that the dipole strength is an important parameter in controlling the behavior of the potential wells and barriers. …”

Achieving Grassroots Innovation Through Multi-lateral Collaborations: Evidence from the Field by Reynolds-Cuéllar, Pedro; Buitrago Guzmán, Silvia

“…We analyze the success of these collaborations across three dimensions: (1) program's objectives, (2) systemic changes across partners as a result of these partnerships and (3) structural improvements and challenges for C-Innova. We find significant changes across all dimensions, suggesting this as a viable model for grassroots to achieve their goals without significantly compromising their core values and beliefs…”

Segregated interactions in urban and online space by Dong, Xiaowen, Morales, Alfredo J., Jahani, Eaman, Moro, Esteban, Lepri, Bruno, Bozkaya, Burcin, Sarraute, Carlos, Bar-Yam, Yaneer, Pentland, Alex

“…We show that segregated interaction is amplified relative to the expected effects of geographic segregation in terms of both purchase activity and online communication. Furthermore, we find that segregation increases with difference in socio-economic status but is asymmetric for purchase activity, i.e., the amount of interaction from poorer to wealthier neighborhoods is larger than vice versa. …”
