We present a method to address the challenging problem of segmentation of multi-modality isointense infant brain MR images into white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Our method is based on contextguided, multi-stream fully convolutional networks (FCN), which after training, can directly map a whole volumetric data to its volume-wise labels. In order to alleviate th...

For a very general class of probability distributions in disordered Ising spin systems, in the thermodynamical limit, we prove the following property for overlaps among real replicas. Consider the overlaps among s replicas. Add one replica s + 1. Then, the overlap q as+1 between one of the rst s replicas, let us say a, and the added s + 1 is either independent of the former ones, or it is ident...

This introductory presentation describes the Overlap Dirac Operator, why it could be useful in numerical QCD, and how it can be implemented.

Regge theory provides an excellent description of small-x structurefunction data from Q = 0 up to the highest available values. The large-Q data should also be described by perturbative QCD: the two descriptions must agree in the region where they overlap. However, at present there is a serious lack in our understanding of how to apply perturbative QCD at small x. The usual lowestorder or next-...

An overlap method for regularizing Majorana–Weyl fermions interacting with gauge fields is presented. A mod(2) index is introduced in relation to the anomalous violation of a discrete global chiral symmetry. Most of the paper is restricted to 2 dimensions but generalizations to 2+8k dimensions should be straightforward.

What is it about context that determines whether a target will be assimilated to the context or contrasted away from it? We suggest that it is the dimensional overlap in the range of values that contextual and target stimuli might take. Four experiments demonstrate that overlap or lack thereof between context and target ranges determines context effects. Assimilation occurs when the context and...

| Additive synthesis is a powerful tool for the analysis/modiication/synthesis of complex audio or speech signals. However, the cost of wavetable sinusoidal synthesis can become prohibitive for large numbers of sinusoids (more than a few hundred). In that case, techniques based on the inverse Fourier transform ooer an attractive alternative, being 200% to 300% more eecient than wavetable synthe...

The high accuracy that can be achieved in the experimental determination of flow parameters from data collected with advanced 4π detection systems has recently been demonstrated in a combined analysis of INDRA and FOPI data [1]. Excitation functions for directed and elliptic flow in Au + Au reactions, measured at SIS by the two collaborations [2, 3], were found to agree within 5% to at most 10%...

We give a detailed and easily accessible proof of Gromov’s Topological Overlap Theorem. Let X be a finite simplicial complex or, more generally, a finite polyhedral cell complex of dimension d. Informally, the theorem states that if X has sufficiently strong higher-dimensional expansion properties (which generalize edge expansion of graphs and are defined in terms of cellular cochains of X) the...

We describe a method to detect buildings and construct 3-D shape descriptions of the buildings from a monocular aerial image of general viewpoint. A grouping process is used to generate 2-D roof hypotheses from fragmented linear features extracted from the input image. Good hypotheses are selected based on 2-D evidence and some local 3-D evidence. These are then verified by searching for 3-D ev...
