See the Difference: Direct Pre-Image Reconstruction and Pose Estimation by Differentiating HOG
, 2015 The Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) descriptor has led to many advances in computer vision over the last decade and is still part of many state of the art approaches. We realize that the associated feature computation is piecewise differentiable and

Automated Lensing Learner: Automated Strong Lensing Identification with a Computer Vision Technique [PDF]
, 2019 Forthcoming surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and Euclid necessitate automatic and efficient identification methods of strong lensing systems. We present a strong lensing identification approach that utilizes a feature extraction

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HOG CHOLERA [PDF]
, 1959 I. WHAT IS HOG CHOLERA? Hog cholera is a deadly, contagious disease that attacks swine only. The disease is caused by hog cholera virus, an agent so small (1/250,000 of an inch) that it can even pass through a fine porcelain filter.

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

Competition Policy and Agribusiness in the Biden Administration
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Biden Administration pursued a set of ambitious competition policy initiatives in agriculture and agribusiness, primarily aimed at livestock and poultry supply chains, farm inputs, and food retailing. The initiatives included expanded antitrust enforcement; new US Department of Agriculture (USDA) contract regulations requiring poultry ...

Automatic Determination of Quasicrystalline Patterns from Microscopy Images
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This work introduces a user‐friendly machine learning tool to automatically extract and visualize quasicrystalline tiling patterns from atomically resolved microscopy images. It uses feature clustering, nearest‐neighbor analysis, and support vector machines. The method is broadly applicable to various quasicrystalline systems and is released as part of

Fecal Microbial Diversity of Coyotes and Wild Hogs in Texas Panhandle, USA
Microorganisms, 2023 The ecology of infectious diseases involves wildlife, yet the wildlife interface is often neglected and understudied. Pathogens related to infectious diseases are often maintained within wildlife populations and can spread to livestock and humans.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work proposes RT‐DETR‐DA, an enhanced real‐time detection framework for identifying distracted driving in complex, real‐world environments. The model introduces a dynamic sparse gating multiscale attention module and an attention‐guided dual‐path fusion module to strengthen multiscale perception and cross‐layer feature interaction.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of
