Recognition of Damaged Arrow-Road Markings by Visible Light Camera Sensor Based on Convolutional Neural Network

open access: yesItalian National Conference on Sensors, 2016
Automobile driver information as displayed on marked road signs indicates the state of the road, traffic conditions, proximity to schools, etc. These signs are important to insure the safety of the driver and pedestrians. They are also important input to

Quantum voting and violation of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We propose a quantum voting system in the spirit of quantum games such as the quantum prisoner's dilemma. Our scheme enables a constitution to violate a quantum analog of Arrow's impossibility theorem.

A dangerous arrow [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2007
A 75-year-old man underwent yearly follow-up carotid Duplex scanning after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), performed 3 years ago, because of the presence of a large atherosclerotic plaque at the bifurcation of left common carotid artery with severe stenosis (80%). A residual atheroma was present post-CEA with a small stenosis.

A detailed protocol to enable safe-handling, preemptive detection, and systematic surveillance of rat-vectored pathogens in the urban environment

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2016
We detail a five-stage protocol to address physical barriers and experimental limitations that have hindered routine pathogen monitoring of wild rats in urban settings.

Arrow Contraction and Expansion in Tropical Diagrams

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Arrow contraction applied to a tropical diagram of probability spaces is a modification of the diagram, replacing one of the morphisms with an isomorphism while preserving other parts of the diagram.

Jump-starting urban rat research: Conspecific pheromones recruit wild rats into a behavioral and pathogen-monitoring assay

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Wild rats, Rattus spp, have adapted so well to urbanization that humans may be obligatory to their survival. Consequently, rats foul human food sources, predate threatened fauna and serve as reservoirs for disease, costing the US economy $19 billion in ...

ARROW RIBBON GRAPHS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 2012
We introduce an additional arrow structure on ribbon graphs. We extend the dichromatic polynomial to ribbon graphs with this structure. This extended polynomial satisfies the contraction–deletion relations and behaves naturally with respect to the partial duality of ribbon graphs.

Liquid Core ARROW Waveguides: A Promising Photonic Structure for Integrated Optofluidic Microsensors

open access: yesMicromachines, 2016
In this paper, we introduce a liquid core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) as a novel optofluidic device that can be used to create innovative and highly functional microsensors.

Confined quantum Zeno dynamics of a watched atomic arrow [PDF]

open access: yesNature Physics, 2014
Repeatedly probing a quantum system restricts its evolution, providing a route for state engineering. Such confinement, described by quantum Zeno dynamics, has now been implemented to generate superposition states in a multi-level Rydberg atom.

Is Time's Arrow Perspectival? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We observe entropy decrease towards the past. Does this imply that in the past the world was in a non-generic microstate? I point out an alternative. The subsystem to which we belong interacts with the universe via a relatively small number of quantities,
