Postirradiation behavior of p-channel charge-coupled devices irradiated at 153 K [PDF]
The displacement damage hardness that can be achieved using p-channel charge-coupled devices (CCD) was originally demonstrated in 1997, and since then a number of other studies have demonstrated an improved tolerance to radiation-induced CTI when ...

Mixed sneutrino dark matter in light of the 2011 XENON and LHC results [PDF]
In the context of supersymmetric models in which small Dirac neutrino masses are generated by supersymmetry breaking, a mainly right-handed (RH) mixed sneutrino can be an excellent cold dark matter (DM) candidate.

Unsupervised Single Image Dehazing Using Dark Channel Prior Loss [PDF]
Single image dehazing is a critical stage in many modern-day autonomous vision applications. Early prior-based methods often involved a time-consuming minimization of a hand-crafted energy function. Recent learning-based approaches utilize the representational power of deep neural networks (DNNs) to learn the underlying transformation between hazy and ...

Constraints on decaying dark matter from the extragalactic gamma-ray background [PDF]
If dark matter is unstable and the mass is within GeV-TeV regime, its decays produce high-energy photons that give contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB).

l2‐norm‐based prior for haze‐removal from single image
Climatic and atmospheric phenomena – such as haze, fog and smoke – may lead to deterioration of quality and poor scenic clarity of outdoor images. In computer graphics, the authors can model these images as a linear combination of scene radiance, medium ...

Haze Removal System using Dark Channel Prior
Mostly in winter season, the Northern area of India is mostly affected due to heavy haze. The road traffic and air traffic is affected due to poor visibility. According to the survey of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of India, the number of accident due to poor visibility increasing every year.
