We study free, capped and encapsulated bilayer jacutingaite Pt$_2$HgSe$_3$ from first principles. While the free standing is a large gap trivial insulator, we find that structure has small due to competition between sublattice symmetry breaking sublattice-dependent next-nearest-neighbor hopping. Upon application of perpendicular electric field, undergoes topological transition towards quantum s...

In this paper, an image fusion is presented to improve the citrus identification by filtering the incoming data from two cameras. The citrus image data has been photographed by using a portable bi-camera cold mirror acquisition system. The prototype of the customized fixture has been manufactured to position and align a classical cold mirror with two CCD cameras in relative kinematic position. ...

“Matching” portfolios is a technique for generating a reasonable benchmark for determining the relative performance of a specific equity portfolio and is based on the work in Ho et al. (2005a). Consider the simplest case of a long-only mutual fund that has returned 10% in the last year. Has the portfolio done well? If the average stock in the universe has gone up 50% then, obviously, the portfo...
