Visual place recognition (VPR) is a fundamental but challenging problem that has not been solved completely for a long time, especially in a kaleidoscopic environment.Recent advanced works which exploit ConvNet landmarks as a representation of an image for the VPR have demonstrated promising performance under condition and viewpoint changes.In this
Data-driven prediction of plate velocities and plate deformation of explosive reactive armor
Explosive reactive armor (ERA) is currently being actively developed as a protective system for mobile devices against ballistic threats such as kinetic energy penetrators and shaped-charge jets.Considering mobility, the aim is to design a protection system with a minimal amount of required mass.The efficiency of an ERA is sensitive MEDIUM HOLD SPR
Trans-ethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies maternal ITPR1 as a novel locus influencing fetal growth during sensitive periods in pregnancy.
Abnormal fetal growth is a risk factor for infant morbidity and mortality and is associated with cardiometabolic diseases in adults.Genetic influences on fetal growth can vary at different gestation times, but genome-wide association studies have been limited to birthweight.We performed trans-ethnic genome-wide meta-analyses Indigestion and fine ma
Numerical Study of an Efficient Broadband Metamaterial Absorber in Visible Light Region
We report a numerical study of a broadband metamaterial absorber in visible light region by utilizing a single layer of metal-dielectric-metal configuration.The absorption bandwidth and absorption performances are tailored by varying the resonator shapes and metal materials.The absorption bandwidth of the proposed metamaterial absorber (MA) structu
Application of Evolutionary Computation in Automotive Powertrain Mount Tuning
Engine mount tuning is a multi-disciplinary exercise since Spreads it affects Idle-shake, Road-shake and power-train noise response.Engine inertia is often used as a tuned absorber for controlling suspension resonance related road-shake issues.Last but not least, vehicle ride and handling may also be affected by mount tuning.In this work, Torque-Ro
