In this paper a new algorithm to restore semi-transparent blotches (or water blotches) in vintage photographic prints is proposed. It works in two steps: the first stage is based on an additive/multiplicative model the optimal parameters of which are searched for around the area to be restored. The second one performs an interpolation along the gradient direction on the contour. The results obt...

A texturing method for the semi-analytic polygon computer-generated hologram synthesis algorithm is studied. Through this, the full-potential and development direction of the semi-analytic polygon computer-generated holograms are discussed and compared to that of the conventional numerical algorithm of polygon computer-generated hologram generation based on the fast Fourier transform and biline...

Single-cell measurements incorporate invaluable information regarding the state of each cell and its underlying regulatory mechanisms. The popularity use single-cell are constantly growing. Despite typically large number collected data, under-representation important (sub-)populations negatively affects down-stream analysis robustness. Therefore, enrichment biological datasets with samples that...

Talk 1: Big Goal of Alg Top, operads and model categories, fix notation for model categories, remarks about how difficult it is to verify model category axioms. Motivation from equivariant spectra, and discussion of Kervaire. Monoidal model categories, define the inherited model structure on the category of algebras over an operad. Basic facts about Bousfield localization. Preservation theorem ...

We review gene mapping, or inference for quantitative trait loci, in the context of recent research in semi-parametric and non-parametric inference for mixture models. Gene mapping studies the relationship between a phenotypic trait and inherited genotype. Semi-parametric gene mapping using the exponential tilt covers most standard exponential families and improves estimation of genetic effects...

Let X be a metric space with metric p, let f(X)QX be a continuous mapping, and let h(X) ^X be a homeomorphism. For x&X, the s e t 23^-°o/(^) i called the semi-orbit of # under ƒ and the set n£XZh{x) is called the orbit of # under h. For # £ X , the closure of the semi-orbit of x under ƒ is called the semi-orbit-closure of x under ƒ and the closure of the orbit of x under h is called the orbit-c...

An adaptive semi-Lagrangian scheme for solving the Cauchy problem associated to the periodic 1+1-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system in the two-dimensional phase space is proposed and analyzed. A key feature of our method is the accurate evolution of the adaptive mesh from one time step to the next one, based on a rigorous analysis of the local regularity and how it gets transported by the numeri...
