The vast majority of the world's fossil fuel trace gas emission sources can be detected and mapped using nighttime low light imaging data from the U.S. Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS). This includes human settlements, industrial and commercial facilities, and gas flares. Nocturnal lighting could be regarded as one of the defining featu...

The recent work of Gatys et al. demonstrated the power of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in creating artistic fantastic imagery by separating and recombing the image content and style. This process of using CNN to migrate the semantic content of one image to different styles is referred to as Neural Style Transfer. Since then, Neural Style Transfer has become a trending topic both in acade...

Tame congruence theory identifies six Maltsev conditions associated with locally finite varieties omitting certain subsets of types of local behaviour. Extending a result of Siggers, we show that of these six Maltsev conditions only two of them are equivalent to strong Maltsev conditions for locally finite varieties. Besides omitting the unary type [18], the only other of these conditions that ...

BACKGROUND 'Place' matters in understanding prevalence variations and inequalities in child maltreatment risk. However, most studies examining ecological variations in child maltreatment risk fail to take into account the implications of the spatial and temporal dimensions of neighborhoods. In this study, we conduct a high-resolution small-area study to analyze the influence of neighborhood cha...
