The problem, generic objectness proposal, aims to reduce the candidate windows for object detection tasks. The popular evaluation criterion for related methods is detection-rate/windows-amount(DR-#WIN), where DR is the percentage of groundtruth objects covered by proposal windows. An object is considered “covered” by a window only if the strict PASCAL-overall criterion [3] is satisfied (the int...

Progressive radial cracking of a clamped plate subjected to crack-face closure is studied. The material behavior is assumed to be elastic-brittle. The cracks are assumed to be relatively long in the sense that the three-dimensional contact problem can be described via a statically equivalent two-dimensional idealization. The number of cracks is supposed large enough to permit a quasi-continuum ...

This study investigated the effect of high asphalt binder replacement for a low N-design asphalt mixture including RAP and RAS on performance indicators such as permanent deformation, fracture, fatigue potentials, and stiffness, was studied. An experimental program included complex modulus, fracture, overlay reflective cracking resistance, wheel track permanent deformations, and push-pull fatig...

The interesting fight between crackers518 and DRM systems is not a match just for the sake of entertainment. It also has consequences in the real world. The cracker itself is not the most terrible danger. He is only one person who uses the forbidden digital right for own purposes. It gets more dangerous when he shares his knowledge on cracking with others. Everybody has access to all kinds of i...

The effects of hydrostatic extrusion on particle cracking and on the subsequent tensile properties of some prototypical particlereinforced metal–matrix composites are investigated. In most cases, tensile failure occurs through a plastic instability in accordance with the Considere criterion for necking. The corresponding failure strain is therefore dictated by the global flow and hardening char...

The structure of the Ga terminated GaAs(100)-c(8x2) surface has been a topic under debate during the last decade. A complex model involving strong reconstructions was recently proposed after extensive Total Energy calculation[1], and was also confirmed by Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) dynamical calculations[1]. Further studies, based on X-ray Diffraction techniques (SXRD), basically co...

In this paper we present an eecient design for message passing over a reeective memory network. First, we consider the attributes of reeec-tive memory communication networks and the requirements to eeciently build message-passing functional-ity on these networks. We then introduce the Bill-Board Protocol, a lock-free protocol which provides low-latency send, receive, and multicast functionality...

Abstract: In this paper, we present algorithms for efficiently implementing three collective communication operations on reflective memory network clusters: Broadcast, Barrier Synchronization and All-Reduce. These algor...

The weldability of GTD-111 nickel-based superalloy by pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding with an average power of 250 W was studied, and the microstructural evolution and cracking characteristics were also investigated. The solidification cracking of the fusion zone (FZ) and the intergranular liquation cracking in the heat affected zone (HAZ) were observed in the joint. Solidification cracking was cau...
