Hagedorn Systems from Backreacted Finite Temperature N f = 2 N c Backgrounds

We present non-extremal generalizations of Nf = 2Nc supergravity duals obtained by adding flavor branes to the Chamseddine-Volkov-Maldacena-Nuñez background and taking their backreaction into account. For a particular range of parameters we obtain a one parameter family of analytic black hole solutions with regular horizons. These solutions have a temperature that is always above the Hagedorn t...

Background Knowledge and Translation Ability

Background radiation, people and the environment

All living organisms are exposed to ionizing radiation comprising cosmic rays coming from outer space, terrestrial nuclides occurring in the earth’s crust, building materials, air, water and foods and in the human body itself. The exposures are constant and uniform for all individuals everywhere including the dose from ingestion of 40K in food. Cosmic rays are, more intense at higher alt...

Eric Freudenthal Background and Research Plan Background

I enjoy designing and constructing systems that achieve robustness by adapting to changing constraints. My recent focus has been in decentralized systems, including mechanisms for expressing and enforcing security relationships among mutually distrustful administrative domains, securely deploying mobile agents, and the efficient dissemination of on-line content. My hope is that this work will f...

Graph-based Visual Saliency Model using Background Color

Visual saliency is a cognitive psychology concept that makes some stimuli of a scene stand out relative to their neighbors and attract our attention. Computing visual saliency is a topic of recent interest. Here, we propose a graph-based method for saliency detection, which contains three stages: pre-processing, initial saliency detection and final saliency detection. The initial saliency map i...
