Conductance fluctuations in quasi-two-dimensional systems: a practical view

, 2012
The universal conductance fluctuations of quasi-two-dimensional systems are analyzed with experimental considerations in mind. The traditional statistical metrics of these fluctuations (such as variance) are shown to have large statistical errors in such

External localization system for mobile robotics [PDF]

, 2013
We present a fast and precise vision-based software intended for multiple robot localization. The core component of the proposed localization system is an efficient method for black and white circular pattern detection.

Assessment of the Calculation Methods for Circle Diameter According to Arc Length, Form Deviations, and Instrument Error: A Cosine Function Simulation Approach

Applied Sciences
Coordinate measuring techniques are essential for determining the diameter and roundness of circular features, yet measurements based on short arc segments remain highly sensitive to form deviations, sampling strategy, and instrument error.

Additive Combination Spaces [PDF]

, 2013
We introduce a class of metric spaces called $p$-additive combinations and show that for such spaces we may deduce information about their $p$-negative type behaviour by focusing on a relatively small collection of almost disjoint metric subspaces, which

Multi-feature Bottom-up Processing and Top-down Selection for an Object-based Visual Attention Model [PDF]

, 2013
Artificial vision systems can not process all the information that they receive from the world in real time because it is highly expensive and inefficient in terms of computational cost.

Assessing the effects of mitofusin 2 deficiency in the adult heart using 3D electron tomography [PDF]

, 2017
The effects of mitofusin 2 (MFN2) deficiency, on mitochondrial morphology and the mitochondria-junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR) complex in the adult heart, have been previously investigated using 2D electron microscopy, an approach which is unable

A Quantitative Criterion for Defining Planets

, 2015
A simple metric can be used to determine whether a planet or exoplanet can clear its orbital zone during a characteristic time scale, such as the lifetime of the host star on the main sequence.
