Semi-supervised universal yolov3-spp with GIoU loss for autonomous driving object detection under sunny and foggy weather
… a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based model called DehazeGAN. Then, an object detection step using GIoU YOLOv3-SPP is performed on the defogged images. Following the two-stage method, we introduce a supervised universal model that deals with object detection in both sunny and foggy …

Universal Empowerment: A Qualitative Exploration of Contributing and Defining Factors of Cognitive Empowerment of Middle Managers
The universal model of empowerment was developed as a model which builds on the Thomas and Velthouse Model (1990) and is an extension of the Siitonen and Robinson Model (1998). It was named because of its physical characteristics and inclusiveness, not because it makes any claims to being an …

A Percolation Model for Boiling and Predicting CHF
… value to understand; however, there is no universal model for predicting it. A recently investigated way to model CHF uses percolation theory, which states that CHF is reached at the percolation threshold. A bubble percolation model is used to visualize and predict boiling performance. The …

Simulation of electronic circuit board assembly
… This experiment file is then combined with a universal model file to produce a simulation file. The simulation can process a system that has fifty separate operations, five different products and ten stations. While generic in nature, the simulation scheme was prepared with printed circuit …

Feature extractor stacking for cross-domain few-shot learning
… published CDFSL methods generally construct a universal model that combines knowledge of multiple source domains into one feature extractor. This enables efficient inference but necessitates re-computation of the extractor whenever a new source domain is added. Some of these methods are also …

Frontiers of Liouville quantum gravity
Abstract This thesis studies a universal model of random geometry in two dimensions called Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). LQG was originally described heuristically by physicists, and mathematicians have grappled with the challenge of defining it rigorously and analyzing its properties. We …

The process of marketing strategy design : an illustrative example for post graduate courses
… Cape Town. This example serves as the specific model used to illustrate the process of marketing strategy design. The primary objective of this study is to illustrate how the principles of marketing strategy design may effectively be used to formulate a specific and detailed marketing strategy …

Holmes, Alice, and Ezeulu: Western Rationality in the Context of British Colonialism and Western Modernity
… the assumption that Western rationality was a universal epistemology. Contrary to the British's own ideas of their rationality, I find that Western rationality is ultimately a culturally-grounded discourse. Using Chinua Achebe's Arrow of God, I examine the intersection between Western …

Managing privately produced rail transit systems : a case study of Tren Urbano
… As no two situations can be exactly alike, and a universal model is not possible, it does so by examining the case of the Tren Urbano. It highlights the role of the government under different procurement options and suggests institutional arrangements for the proper management of the system. It …

A modular programming language for engineering design
We introduce a new universal model of computation called MDPL that generalizes other functional models like the lambda calculus and combinatory logic. This model leads naturally to a new type of programming language that combines the key strengths of imperative and functional languages for …

Theory of Superjunction Devices
Since the first ideal specific resistance model by Fujihira in 1997 and the first commercial superjunction MOSFET by Infineon technology in 1998, the technology and the understanding of superjunction devices have been gradually progressed. Although Fujihira’s ideal model was developed to estimate …

A study of micromachined displacement pumps for vacuum generation
… with the aid of analytical and numerical modeling. The rough pump is fabricated by deep-reactive ion etching and other standard micromachining techniques. Systematic study into operation of this class of pumps allows us to now report on a pump that achieves 164 torr absolute pressure, …

Theoretical Design of Molecular Nanostructures for Exciton Control
… significant advancements, there exists no universal model that can explain the dependence of exciton photophysics on molecular morphology. This thesis employs mathematical and atomistic models to contribute key physical insights into the interdependencies between chromophore spatial …

Development of an alternative approach to transit demand modeling
… as a field faces the demand in creation of a universal model which would allow to estimate transit demand of the areas of different scales and geographies, be simple to interpret and to replicate in any conditions. The research is discussing the process of development of a model able to …

Plasmonic Optical Sensors: Performance Analysis and Engineering Towards Biosensing
… sensors with novel nanofabrication techniques. A universal performance analysis model is established for general two-dimensional plasmonic sensors. This model is based on the fundamental facts of surface plasmon theory. The sensitivity only depends on excitation light wavelength as well as …

Contributions to the mathematical theory of epidemic dynamics
I derive a novel model of disease transmission in dynamic host populations ("model MM") from mechanistic assumptions. This model addresses several concepts simultaneously: (1) infection of susceptible individuals occurs through 2 mechanisms, contact with "point" sources of infectious material …

Building Boys, Building Canada: The Boy Scout Movement in Canada, 1908-1970
… Baden Powell argued that Scouting provided a universal model for countries of the British Empire to develop the physical, mental and spiritual development of boys. The process of transplanting Baden-Powell’s movement to Canada led to the establishment of two separate organizations, divided …

Hot carrier degradation in deep submicron n-MOS technologies
… after the hot carrier stress a change in the universal mobility behaviour for channel lengths approaching quarter micron regime has a significant effect on the parameter extraction. A modified universal mobility model incorporating the effect of the interface charge is developed using the FN …
