The goal of the Perspective-n-Point problem (PnP) is to find the relative pose between an object and a camera from a set of n pairings between 3D points and their corresponding 2D projections on the focal plane. Current state of the art solutions, designed to operate on images, rely on computationally expensive minimization techniques. For the first time, this work introduces an event-based PnP...

We consider the generalized dimensional reduction of pure ungauged N = 4, D = 5 supergravity, where supersymmetry is spontaneously broken to N = 2 orN = 0 with identically vanishing scalar potential. We explicitly construct the resulting gauged D = 4 theory coupled to a single vector multiplet, which provides the minimal N = 4 realization of a no-scale model. We discuss its relation with the st...

BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies with binary outcomes analyzed by logistic regression are frequent in the epidemiological literature. However, the odds ratio can importantly overestimate the prevalence ratio, the measure of choice in these studies. Also, controlling for confounding is not equivalent for the two measures. In this paper we explore alternatives for modeling data of such studies ...

Given a JBW*-triple Z and a normal contractive projection P : Z −→ Z, we show that the (Murray-von Neumann) type of each summand of P (Z) is dominated by the type of Z.

We discuss how CP symmetry can be broken geometrically through orbifold projections in hidden extra dimensions in the context of brane-bulk models for particle unifications. The CP violation arises from a crash between the geometry of the compactification and the original higher dimensional CP definition. We present toy models to illustrate the idea and suggest ways to incorporate it into more ...

Aerobic fitness has previously been related to cognitive control in preadolescents; however, these investigations have generally relied on global measures of performance. Thus, we have little understanding of how aerobic fitness may relate to trial-by-trial modulations in cognitive control. This study utilized congruency sequence effects (CSEs), which characterize how behavior on the current tr...

Existing methods for analyzing rare variant data focus on collapsing a group of rare variants into a single common variant; collapsing is based on an intuitive function of the rare variant genotype information, such as an indicator function or a weighted sum. It is more natural, however, to take into account the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interactions informed directly by the data. We...

Let H be a complex Hilbert space, n a given positive integer and let Pn(H) be the set of all projections on H with rank n. Under the condition dimH ≥ 4n, we describe the surjective isometries of Pn(H) with respect to the gap metric (the metric induced by the operator norm).

In this paper, we characterize generalized and hypergeneralized projections (bounded linear operators which satisfy conditions A = A∗ and A = A†). We give their matrix representations and examine under what conditions the product, difference and sum of these operators are operators of the same class.

Participants from Argentina (N = 217) estimated their own, their partner's, their parents' and their grandparents' overall and multiple intelligences. The Argentinean data showed that men gave higher overall estimates than women (M = 110.4 vs. 105.1) as well as higher estimates on mathematical and spatial intelligence. Participants thought themselves slightly less bright than their fathers (2 I...
