Edge proximity and matching extension in projective planar graphs

A graph $G$ with at least $2m+2$ vertices is said to be distance $d$ $m$-extendable if, for any matching $M$ of $G$ with $m$ edges in which the edges lie at distance at least $d$ pairwise, there exists a perfect matching of $G$ containing $M$. In this paper we prove that every 5-connected triangulation on the projective plane of even order is distance 3 7-extendable and distance 4 $m$-extendable for any $m$.

Comparison of Multivariate Matching Methods: Structures,Distances, and Algorithms

Abstract

A comparison and evaluation is made of recent proposals for multivariate matched sampling in observational studies, where the following three questions are answered: (1) Algorithms: In current statistical practice, matched samples are formed using “nearest available” matching, a greedy algorithm. Greedy matching does not minimize the total distance within matched pairs, though good algorithms exist for optimal matching that do minimize the total distance. How much better is optimal matching than greedy matching? We find that optimal matching is sometimes noticeably better than greedy matching in the sense of producing closely matched pairs, sometimes only marginally better, but it is no better than greedy matching in the sense of producing balanced matched samples. (2) Structures: In common practice, treated units are matched to one control, called pair matching or 1–1 matching, or treated units are matched to two controls, called 1–2 matching, and so on. It is known, however, that the optimal structure is a full matching in which a treated unit may have one or more controls or a control may have one or more treated units. Optimal 1 — k matching is compared to optimal full matching, finding that optimal full matching is often much better. (3) Distances: Matching involves defining a distance between covariate vectors, and several such distances exist. Three recent proposals are compared. Practical advice is summarized in a final section.     

Good match exploration for thermal infrared face recognition based on YWF-SIFT with multi-scale fusion

Stable local feature detection is a critical prerequisite in the problem of infrared (IR) face recognition. Recently, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is introduced for feature detection in an infrared face frame, which is achieved by applying a simple and effective averaging window with SIFT termed as Y-styled Window Filter (YWF). However, the thermal IR face frame has an intrinsic characteristic such as lack of feature points (keypoints); therefore, the performance of the YWF-SIFT method will be inevitably influenced when it was used for IR face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel method combining multi-scale fusion with YWF-SIFT to explore more good feature matches. The multi-scale fusion is performed on a thermal IR frame and a corresponding auxiliary visual frame generated from an off-the-shelf low-cost visual camera. The fused image is more informative, and typically contains much more stable features. Besides, the use of YWF-SIFT method enables us to establish feature correspondences more accurately. Quantitative experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is able to significantly improve the quantity of feature points by approximately 38%. As a result, the performance of YWF-SIFT with multi-scale fusion is enhanced about 12% in infrared human face recognition.     

Operation principle of self-phase compensated optical waveguide isolator

A theory is developed for the self-phase compensated optical waveguide isolator recently reported in the literature. The operation principle of such device is explained in terms of synchronization of phase and power conversion. The effect of balancing phase mismatches of the two convertors on achieving a proper percentage of mode conversion is revealed. The way to make use of the phase mismatches of different sections to accommodate the different requirements in phase relationship for the reciprocal and nonreciprocal mode convertors is discussed. The theory is extended to the case where phase compensator is used. It is demonstrated that the introduction of phase compensator separates the adjustment of phase from the adjustment of power for the mode convertors so that relaxes fabrication tolerances of such devices. An isolator consists of three phase mismatched waveguide sections is designed and simulated. The simulation results confirm the self-phase compensation theory.     

钛表面生物活性榍石/氧化钛复合涂层的结构和磷灰石形成机理

采用微弧氧化和热处理复合技术,在钛表面制备了具有双层结构的榍石/氧化钛复合涂层。榍石/氧化钛复合涂层的外层是由微弧氧化涂层经热处理后晶化生成;而内层是由钛基底的氧化生成,并且氧化钛表现出不同的Ti,O原子比。由于钛基底的氧化,孔径在50~500nm的微孔呈层状结构分布在涂层内层。与微弧氧化涂层相比,该复合涂层具有很好的磷灰石诱导能力,这是由于榍石沿着特定晶面和晶向与羟基磷灰石表现出良好的晶体学匹配关系,从而为磷灰石的成核和取向沉积过程提供良好的位点。
