Non-uniform deblurring for shaken images by Whyte, O, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A, Ponce, J

“…Most existing deblurring methods model the observed blurry image as the convolution of a sharp image with a uniform blur kernel. However, we show that blur from camera shake is in general mostly due to the 3D rotation of the camera, resulting in a blur that can be significantly non-uniform across the image. …”

Query lower bounds for log-concave sampling by Chewi, Sinho, de Dios Pont, Jaume, Li, Jerry, Lu, Chen, Narayanan, Shyam

“…In this work, we establish the following query lower bounds: (1) sampling from strongly log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension ≥ 2 requires Ω(log) queries, which is sharp in any constant dimension, and (2) sampling from Gaussians in dimension (hence also from general log-concave and log-smooth distributions in dimension) requires Ωe(min( √ log,)) queries, which is nearly sharp for the class of Gaussians. …”

Cracking Common Notions Relating Egg Strength to Impact Orientation by Sutanto, Antony

“…The chicken egg possesses a shell structure that is conventionally thought to be strongest when loaded on its vertical poles, particularly the sharp end, which resembles a structural arch. This notion has influenced educational activities such as the "egg drop challenge", where participants typically orient the egg with its sharp end facing downwards to improve its chances of resistance to fracture upon impact. …”
