Exoplanet research focusing on the characterization of super-Earths is currently limited to the handful of targets orbiting bright stars that are amenable to detailed study. This Letter proposes to look at alternative avenues to probe the surface and atmospheric properties of this category of planets, known to be ubiquitous in our galaxy. I conduct Markov Chain Monte Carlo light-curves analyses...

Recent spectroscopic observations of galaxies in the Fornax-Cluster reveal nearly unresolved ‘star-like’ objects with red-shifts appropriate to the Fornax-Cluster. These objects have intrinsic sizes of ≈ 100 pc and absolute B-band magnitudes in the range −14 < MB < −11.5 mag and lower limits for the central surface brightness μB ∼ 23 mag/arcsec 2 (Phillipps et al. 2001), and so appear to consti...

A blind single-image super resolution method is proposed to enhance the spatial resolution of the image with defocus blur. Firstly, according to the low resolution imaging model, a framework of blind singleimage super resolution reconstruction is presented. Secondly, utilizing Wiener filtering algorithm, the errorparameter curve of the defocus blurred image was generated, through which the defo...

The field of super-resolution has a wide area of applications. In order to display relatively low-quality content on high-resolution displays, the need for super resolution algorithms has become an urgent market priority. A method of super-resolution based on projectonto-convex-sets (POCS) is proposed in this thesis. In the super-resolution process, a set of low-quality images is given, and a s...

As deployed Grids increase from tens to thousands of nodes, peer-to-peer (P2P) techniques and protocols can be used to implement scalable services and applications. The super-peer model is a novel approach that helps the convergence of P2P models and Grid environments and can be used to deploy a P2P information service in Grids. A super-peer serves a single physical organization in a Grid, and ...

Copyright: © 2016 INFORMS Abstract. Convex duality for two different super-replication problems in a continuous time financial market with proportional transaction cost is proved. In this market, static hedging in a finite number of options, in addition to usual dynamic hedging with the underlying stock, are allowed. The first one of the problems considered is the modelindependent hedging that ...
