Face recognition based on the combination of rectangle filters and unified subspace analysis approach by Cai, Yichang

“…As one of the most successful applications of Image analysis and understanding, face recognition has recently received significant attention, especially during the past several years. At least two reasons account for this trend: the first is the wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications, and the second Is the availability of feasible technologies after 30 years of research. …”

Ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials probed by time-and-momentum-resolved techniques by Su, Yifan

“…I will further discuss the original methodology I developed that uses coherent acoustic phonon detected with UED as a picosecond timescale "lock-in" experiment that senses nano-scale mechanical motions in ultra-thin quantum materials. The last part of the dissertation will focus on charge density wave (CDW) phase transitions in quantum materials. …”

Hunting and the social lives of Southern Africa’s first farmers by Jones, M, Kapumha, R, Chirikure, S, Marshall, F

“…However, archaeological models emphasize cattle keeping and downplay the role of hunting among past farming groups. To address this discrepancy and investigate human–wild animal interactions over the last ~ 2000 years, we examined zooarchaeological data from 54 southern African Iron Age (first and second millennium AD) farming sites. …”
