Arbitrary style transfer aims to stylize the content image with image. The key problem of is how balance global structure and local patterns. A promising method solve this attentional method, where a learnable embedding features enables patterns be flexibly recombined image, so will well preserved in stylized However, current methods cannot preserve structure. To problem, novel network proposed...

A framework that emphasizes and integrates individuals' intersubjective experiences with Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory (PVEST) is introduced and compared with self-organizational perspectives. Similarities, differences and advantages of each framework are described. In a demonstration of PVEST's utility, a subset of data from the 3rd year of a longitudinal study (14- to 16-year-old...

Detecting range shifts and contractions is critical for determining the conservation priority of rare and declining taxa. However, data on rare species occurrences frequently lack precise information on locations and habitats and may present a biased picture of biogeographic distributions and presumed habitat preferences. Herbarium or museum specimen data, which otherwise could be useful proxie...

In this thesis, we develop methods for solving the linearized Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) in the relaxation-time approximation for describing small-scale solidstate heat transfer. We first discuss a Monte Carlo (MC) solution method that builds upon the deviational energy-based Monte Carlo method presented in [J.-P. Praud and N.G. Hadjiconstantinou, Physical Review B, 84(20), p. 205331, 2...

in some data envelopment analysis (dea) applications, some inputs of dmus have negative values with positive cost. this paper generalizes the global cost malmquist productivity index to compare the productivity of dierent dmus with negative inputs in any two periods of times under variable returns to scale (vrs) technology, and then the generalized index is decomposed to several components. th...

Introduction: Child mortality indices are key element that reflects health Status of societies and inform policy makers to take suitable policies to reduce them. This study was performed to examine the main determinants of under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) in OECD countries in two cross-sections, 2010 and 2013, and the results of them was compared. Material and Methods: This was a cross- sectional ...

The amount of investment in marine environmental governance (MEG) is growing fast China, which brought the prosperity treatment entities (e.g., water enterprises and port pollution control institutions). Based on spatial big data, this paper adopted kernel density method, standard deviational ellipse, nearest neighbor index to explore distribution pattern MEG Shanghai from 2005 2021. Several co...
