Object Detection Using Vision Transformed EfficientDet
This research presents a novel approach for object detection by integrating Vision Transformers (ViT) into the EfficientDet architecture. The field of computer vision, encompassing artificial intelligence, focuses on the interpretation and analysis of visual data. Recent advancements in deep …

Transformed-linear models for time series extremes
… that our models take nonnegative values, we use transformed-linear operations. We show existence and stationarity of these models, and develop their properties such as the model TPDF's. Motivated by investigating conditions conducive to the spread of wildfires, we fit models to hourly windspeed …

Crises Transformed: The Motivations Behind Engagement in Anarchy
… spaces, but how crises are, in turn, radically transformed through engagement in anarchical practice. To understand this process, this study explores crises through the development of an eco-anarchistic dialectical framework--negate-subvert-create--to indicate how the crises of capital are …

Generalized Bathtub Hazard Models for Binary-Transformed Climate Data
<p>In this study, we use a hazard-based modeling as an alternative statistical framework to time series methods as applied to climate data. Data collected from the Kentucky Mesonet will be used to study the distributional properties of the duration of high and low-energy wind events relative to an …

Characterizing the Response of gdhA Transformed Tobacco to Glufosinate
… it was speculated that the <italic>gdhA</italic>-transformed plants may exhibit a novel mechanism of resistance to glufosinate by altered activity of the GDH pathway and subsequently related processes. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse to evaluate 1) whole plant tolerance to glufosinate, 2) …

Subject and Aesthetic Interface - an inquiry into transformed subjectivities
The present PhD-thesis seeks new definitions of human subjectivity in an age of technoscience and a networked, globalized, Information Society. The perspective presented relates to Philosophy of Science, which includes the Human, the Natural, the Social and the Life Sciences. The project is …

Soybean transformation and analysis of transformed tissues using PCR
… led to the improvement in recovery of putative transformed soybean shoots although no fertile plants were recovered.

DNA synthesis and methylation in normal and transformed cells
… lung fibroblast cell line (WI-38) and its two transformed counterparts, a simian virus 40 (SV 40) transformed line (SVWI-38) and a y-irradiation transformed cell line (CT-1). HU was shown to enhance hypermethylation of pre-existing DNA strands in the normal cells, while ara-C and aphidicolin …

Transformed materials : a material research center in Milan, Italy
[Transformed Materials] is an exploration into today's design methodologies of architecture production. The emergence of architectural form is questioned in relation to the temporal state of design intent and the physical material construct. At a time when there is an increased awareness of the …

Shape-Constrained Inference for Concave-Transformed Densities and their Modes
… log-concave densities and other “concave-transformed” densities on the real line, where a concave-transformed class is one given by applying a transformation (e.g. the logarithm or a power function) to concave functions. We expect our proofs and results to be relevant in other …

Characterizing the Effectiveness of Compilers in Vectorizing Polyhedrally Transformed Code
Many of the compute intensive applications spend most of their time inside nested loops. Hence optimization of these nested loops can provide significant improvements in the speed of the program. A number of optimizations can be performed to a program in order to speed it up on a particular …

ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION OF BUTTERFLIES IN A TRANSFORMED TROPICAL LANDSCAPE
… on how we manage populations in the region’s transformed tropical landscapes. Using Singapore as a model system, we show a slowdown in butterfly extinctions in the past 25 years. Our long-term dataset of 281 species showed that mature forests are still key for butterflies, especially for rare …

Secretion of active recombinant phytase from stably transformed soybean cells
… culture cells by particle bombardment. Stably transformed cell lines were selected and tested for stable integration by Southern analysis. The presence of the phytase protein product was detected by immunoblotting. Activity of recombinant phytase was characterized by enzyme assay. Cell lines …

Identification and Characterization of Her2/Neu-Transformed Breast Cancer Stem Cells
<p>A variety of human solid tumors, including breast cancer, are considered to embrace a hierarchical organization in which only infrequent tumor-initiating cancer stem cells are truly responsible for tumor formation rather than the non-tumorigenic majority. However, these cancer stem cells remain …

Efficacy of glufosinate and weed control in transformed corn and soybean
Glufosinate is a postemergence herbicide that inhibits the glutamine synthetase enzyme in plants, causing an accumulation of ammonia, inhibition of photosynthesis, and ultimately plant death. The use of this herbicide has been limited to no-tillage prior to planting or in noncrop areas. Recent …

Caracals as sentinels for metal exposure in a human-transformed landscape
… to terrestrial carnivores persisting in human-transformed landscapes, especially in the Global South. To better understand the extent of this issue, I quantified the level of metallic element and metalloid exposure in a sentinel top predator, the caracal (Caracal caracal), inhabiting the …
