The Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory is the world’s first large-area water Cherenkov detector capable of continuously monitoring the sky at TeV energies. Located in the mountains of northern New Mexico, Milagro will perform an all sky survey of the Northern Hemisphere at energies between 250 GeV and 50 TeV. With a high duty-cycle ( 100%), large detector area ( 5000m), and wide field-of-view ( 1 sr...

Unseen Action Recognition (UAR) aims to recognise novel action categories without training examples. While previous methods focus on inner-dataset seen/unseen splits, this paper proposes a pipeline using a large-scale training source to achieve a Universal Representation (UR) that can generalise to a more realistic Cross-Dataset UAR (CDUAR) scenario. We first address UAR as a Generalised Multip...

The ecohydrologic effects of urbanization that is dominated by forests clearing are not well understood in the southeastern United States. We utilized long-term monitoring data to quantify the annual water balance, stormflow characteristics, and seasonal flow patterns of an urbanized watershed (UR) (0Ð70 km2) and compared it to a fully forested watershed (FOR) (2Ð95 km2) in central North Caroli...

On the one hand any effective action of the QCD, involve, at least in principle, a tower of hadronic fields of all spins; on the other hand the front form of the field theory has emerged as an appropriate framework to investigate the high energy behaviour of many systems. Motivated by these simple considerations we present a systematic formalism which explicitly provides the front form fields a...

We present a formalism that extends the Majorana-construction to arbitrary spin (j, 0)⊕(0, j) representation spaces. For the example case of spin-1, a wave equation satisfied by the Majorana-like (1, 0) ⊕ (0, 1) spinors is constructed and its physical content explored. The (j, 0) ⊕ (0, j) Majorana-construct is found to possess an unusual classical and quantum field theoretic structure. Relevanc...

The exponential size of the search space of the resolution procedure necessitates the use of refined derivation systems, which restrict the search space. Given some fundamental refinements, further refined derivation systems can be developed by combining several fundamental refinements in a single derivation system. The manner in which combinations can be formed is necessarily restricted by the...

The behaviour of the magnetic field of a neutron star with a superconducting quark matter core is investigated in the framework of the GinzburgLandau theory. We take into account the simultaneous coupling of the diquark condensate field to the usual magnetic and to the gluomagnetic gauge fields. We solve the Ginzburg-Landau equations by properly taking into account the boundary conditions, in p...

In the presented system to person fall detection a body-worn accelerometer is used to indicate a potential fall and a ceiling-mounted depth sensor is utilized to authenticate fall alert. In order to expand the observation area the depth sensor has been mounted on a pan-tilt motorized head. If the person acceleration is above a preset threshold the system uses a lying pose detector as well as ex...

We study the problems of (approximately) representing a functional curve in 2-D by a set of curves with fewer peaks. Let f be an input nonnegative piecewise linear functional curve of size n. We consider the following problems. (1) Uphill-downhill pair representation (UDPR): Find two nonnegative piecewise linear curves, one nondecreasing and one nonincreasing, such that their sum approximately ...
