Video Retrieval is a challenging task where the aims at matching text query to video or vice versa. Most of existing approaches for addressing such problem rely on annotations made by users. Although simple, this approach not always feasible in practice. In work, we explore application language-image model, CLIP, obtain representations without need said annotations. This model was explicitly tr...

Abstract. Sorptivity is a parameter of primary importance in the study unsaturated flow soils. This hydraulic required to model water infiltration into vertical soil profiles. can be directly estimated from functions (water retention and conductivity curves), using integral formulation Parlange (1975). However, calculating sorptivity this manner requires prior determination diffusivity its nume...

We present a pedagogical treatment of the formalism of continuous quantum measurement. Our aim is to show the reader how the equations describing such measurements are derived and manipulated in a direct manner. We also give elementary background material for those new to measurement theory, and describe further various aspects of continuous measurements that should be helpful to those wanting ...

An efficient and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and thiones by condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, Aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, and urea or thiourea in the presence of catalytic amount of Brønsted acidic ionic liquid 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride {[Msim]Cl} under thermal solvent-free conditions reacted easily to afford the co...

A simple and mild one-pot three-component reaction for the preparation 1,4-dihydropyridines has been developed from various aldehyde substrates, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (dimedone) and ammonium acetate (Hantzsch method) in the presence of a catalytic amount of phospho sulfonic acid (PSA) as an efficient and heterogeneous solid acid in EtOH at room temperature. Preparation of PSA is straightforw...

Sustainable and personally tailored materials production is an emerging challenge to society. Living organisms can produce and pattern an extraordinarily wide range of different molecules in a sustainable way. These natural systems offer an abundant source of inspiration for the development of new environmentally friendly materials production techniques. In this paper, we describe the first ste...
