Finding, and Not Finding, “Higher Harmonic Flows”

Finding Optimal Flows Efficiently

Among the models of quantum computation, the One-way Quantum Computer [10, 11] is one of the most promising proposals of physical realization [12], and opens new perspectives for parallelization by taking advantage of quantum entanglement [2]. Since a one-way quantum computation is based on quantum measurement, which is a fundamentally nondeterministic evolution, a sufficient condition of globa...

Finding Actions Using Shape Flows

We propose a novel method for action detection based on a new action descriptor called a shape flow that represents both the shape and movement of an object in a holistic and parsimonious manner. We find actions by finding shape flows in a target video that are similar to a template shape flow. Shape flows are largely independent of appearance, and the match cost function that we propose is inv...

Finding and Not Finding Rat Perirhinal Neuronal Responses to Novelty

There is much evidence that the perirhinal cortex of both rats and monkeys is important for judging the relative familiarity of visual stimuli. In monkeys many studies have found that a proportion of perirhinal neurons respond more to novel than familiar stimuli. There are fewer studies of perirhinal neuronal responses in rats, and those studies based on exploration of objects, have raised into...

CRM Finding in Higher Eukaryotes

Not searching, but finding

Previous research about firms’ perceptions on the usefulness of public research has not distinguished between technological innovators and non-innovators. With the exception of openness of search, we find that factors shaping such perceptions differ in both types of firms. Non-innovators need market power and the presence of an R&D department to profit from public knowledge. Innovators need les...
