abstract a title, in conveying the meaning of the entitled photo, can act from being a designator to an element which changes the meaning and its message is perceived in different levels of obtaining the photo’s final meaning. therefore, ignoring its role in interpreting the content of work is the same as eliminating a part of photo. various studies have been done centering titling issue, but t...

Although sketch-to-photo retrieval has a wide range of applications, it is costly to obtain paired and rich-labeled ground truth. Differently, photo data easier acquire. Therefore, previous works pre-train their models on (i.e., source domain) then fine-tune them the limited-labeled target domain). However, without co-training data, domain knowledge might be forgotten during fine-tuning process...

Propylene oxide is a crucial feedstock in the plastic industry. The direct epoxidation of propylene using O2 considered among most promising means producing oxide. Here we report an integrated photo-electro-heterogeneous catalytic system for with O2. Bismuth vanadate (or TiO2) photocatalyst and Co-based electrocatalyst produces H2O2. A titanium silicalite-1 heterogeneous catalyst subsequently e...

Smart photo sticking is a novel strategy to automatically arrange a collection of photos in a pleasant collage. The proposed approach improves previous solutions both considering a self-adaptive image cropping algorithm, exploiting visual and semantic information, and introducing an optimization process based on a genetic algorithm. Preliminary results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed ...

Distributed systems such as Grid- and Cloud Computing provision web services to their users in all of the world. One of the most important concerns which service providers encounter is to handle total cost of ownership (TCO). The large part of TCO is related to power consumption due to inefficient resource management. Task scheduling module as a key component can has drastic impact on both user...

A novel, rapid and simple method is described for the synthesis of magnetic MIL-100(Fe) with novel Fe3O4 morphology, which significantly improved the sustainability of conventional fabrication processes in several aspects. The magnetic MOFs were prepared (i) in one pot (instead of multiple steps), (ii) at room temperature (instead of temperatures over 150 °C), (iii) within a few hours with exce...
