The instance segmentation can be considered an extension of the object detection problem where bounding boxes are replaced by object contours. Strictly speaking the problem requires to identify each pixel instance and class independently of the artifice used for this mean. The advantage of instance segmentation over the usual object detection lies in the precise delineation of objects improving...

the elementary reaction of kaon exclusive electroproduction on protons has been studied ina broad kinematical range. data for the calculation of the form factor of the kaon have been taken atdifferent values of the invariant center of mass energy w in the range w=1.8, 1.85, 1.98, 2.08 (gev), forone value of the transferred 4-momentum q2=2.35 (gev/c)2. in this analysis, we calculated σl and σt b...

Disaggregation of resources in the data center, especially at the rack-scale, offers the opportunity to use valuable resources more efficiently. It is common that mass storage racks in large-scale clouds are filled with servers with Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) attached directly to each of them, either using SATA or SAS depending on the number of HDDs. What does disaggregated storage mean for these ...

The purposes of this analysis were to predict the feasible movements during which balance can be maintained, based on environmental (contact force), anatomical (foot geometry), and physiological (muscle strength) constraints, and to identify the role of each constraint in limiting movement. An inverted pendulum model with a foot segment was used with an optimization algorithm to determine the s...

This paper reports a more complete description of the design process of the Center Support Quadruple Mass Gyroscope (CSQMG), a gyro expected to provide breakthrough performance for flat structures. The operation of the CSQMG is based on four lumped masses in a circumferential symmetric distribution, oscillating in anti-phase motion, and providing differential signal extraction. With its 4-fold ...

!! We study the behavior of simple, 2D, selforganizing primitives that interact and move in an unbounded environment to create aggregated shapes. !! Each primitive is represented by a disk and a unit point mass. In order to compare the aggregated shape produced by the primitives to other shapes, the centers of mass of the two shapes must be aligned. !! We present an algorithm for calculating th...
