The non-segregated population of blue straggler stars in the remote globular cluster Palomar 14

, 2011
We used deep wide-field observations obtained with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to study the blue straggler star (BSS) population in the innermost five arcminutes of the remote Galactic globular cluster Palomar 14.

Risk factors for birth trauma and postpartum posttraumatic stress in the United Kingdom: Results from the international survey of childbirth‐related trauma

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Higher birth trauma ratings are predicted by women not having other children, maternal complications, lower birth satisfaction, and no postpartum skin‐to‐skin contact. Higher childbirth‐related post‐traumatic stress symptoms are predicted by younger maternal age, no previous children, current mental health difficulties, previous trauma, emergency ...

The Application of Blind Source Separation to Feature Decorrelation and Normalizations [PDF]

, 2006
We apply a Blind Source Separation BSS algorithm to the decorrelation of Mel-warped cepstra. The observed cepstra are modeled as a convolutive mixture of independent source cepstra. The algorithm aims to minimize a cross-spectral correlation at different

Birth‐Related Experiences and Postpartum Depression: The Protective Role of Self‐Compassion

Birth, EarlyView.
Does self‐compassion (SC) moderate the relationship between birth satisfaction, type of birth, and early skin‐to‐skin contact (SSC) in women's PPD symptoms? Methods: 987 women with an infant aged 0–5 months. 62.1% Vaginal delivery. 66.3% SSC contact after delivery.

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.

A Distortion Free Learning Algorithm for Feedforward BSS and ITS Comparative Study with Feedback BSS

The 2006 IEEE International Joint Conference on Neural Network Proceedings, 2006
Source separation and signal distortion are theoretically analyzed for the FF-BSS systems implemented in both the time and frequency domains and the FB-BSS system. The FF-BSS systems have some degree of freedom, and cause some signal distortion. The FB-BSS has a unique solution for complete separation and distortion free.

Neural Local Inter‐reflection Modeling for Garment Fold Rendering

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Realistic garment rendering requires simulating complex multi‐bounce light paths within intricate fold geometries. In these regions, conventional path tracing is computationally expensive as light becomes trapped, necessitating high bounce counts for convergence.
