Fast object detection
… image understanding could be very slow. We study fast object detection from an engineering perspective. We argue that a desirable object detector must: (1) be able to work with legacy templates; (2) be random access; (3) be able to trade accuracy versus speed; (4) have any-time property. We …

Fast Reducer Hyperobjects
This thesis investigates the performance of reducer hyperobjects, a feature of the Cilk task-parallel runtime system that enables concurrent associative updates to nonlocal variables. Reducers are more performant than more traditional methods of enabling concurrent updates, such as locking and …

Fast geometric algorithms
… all our work has been to develop a set of very fast state-of-the-art algorithms which supercede any rivals in terms of speed and ease of implementation. In some cases we have refined existing algorithms; for others we have ·developed new techniques which add to the present database of fast …

FAST LEARNING ON GRAPHS
We carry out a systematic study of classification problems on networked data, presenting novel techniques with good performance both in theory and in practice. We assess the power of node classification based on class-linkage information only. In particular, we propose four new algorithms that …

Photorefractives for fast optics
This thesis describes an experimental and theoretical study into the nonlinear optical<br/>properties of novel photorefractive materials and devices. The focus of the work is<br/>centred on bringing together the attractive attributes of inorganic and organic<br/>materials in a single hybrid device …

Fast and optimal pathfinding
Pathfinding (or navigating) from A to B is a common problem in Computer Science with broad practical applications in areas as diverse as digital entertainment, logistics and robotics. Pathfinding is made difficult when many variations, or symmetries, of the same path exist. Symmetry slows down …

Fast Algorithms for Tomography
… tomographic data that are significantly faster and more accurate than existing fast methods. First, a new fast reconstruction algorithm based on a hierarchical decomposition of the back-projection operation is presented. Numerical simulations suggest that this new algorithm provides …

Fast, realistic terrain synthesis
The authoring of realistic terrain models is necessary to generate immersive virtual environments for computer games and film visual effects. However, creating these landscapes is difficult - it usually involves an artist spending many hours sculpting a model in a 3D design program. Specialised …

Fast neutron scattering analysis
The scattering of a beam of fast monoenergetic neutrons is used to determine elemental compositions of small (0.2-1 kg) samples of materials. Particular emphasis is placed on the measurement of concentrations of the elements H, C, N and O, which are the principal constituents of contraband …

Fast long lived renaming
The long-lived renaming problem appears in shared-memory systems where a set of threads need to register and deregister frequently from the computation, while concurrent operations scan the set of currently registered threads. Instances of this problem show up in concurrent implementations of …

Fast flow biopolymer synthesis
… describes the development and application of fast flow solid phase synthesis for the preparation of peptides and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs), as well as the application of fast, reliable peptide synthesis to study non-natural protein folding and function. In the first …

A fast neutron spectrometer
A fast neutron spectrometer was designed and constructed using a proton-recoil telescope. Recoil protons from a thin foil of polyethylene were detected with a silicon surface-barrier diode. The output pulse from the detector is proportional to the energy of the protons and hence the energy of the …

Fast Response Liquid Crystal Devices
… employed liquid crystal material. How to obtain fast response for the LC devices is a fundamentally important and technically challenging task. In this dissertation, we investigate several methods to improve liquid crystal response time, for examples, using dual-frequency liquid crystals, polymer …

An aesthetic cartography of fast
… cartography, I examine M.K. Gandhi’s practice of fasting for political purposes from a specifically aesthetic perspective. In other words, to foreground their dramatic qualities, how they in their expressive repetition, patterning and stylization produced a/effected heightened forms of emotions. …
