基于双重增强网络的跨模态行人重识别

针对异质样本差异、行人遮挡及背景干扰等造成的跨模态行人重识别(person re-identification,ReID)精度不高的问题,本文提出了一种基于通道与特征学习的双重增强网络(dual enhanced network,DEN)。首先从通道级出发,通过随机交换可见光通道来挖掘可见光与红外通道间的关系,增强模型对多模态样本变化的鲁棒性。其次从特征级出发,在模态共享网络前引入基于归一化的注意力模块(normalization-based attention module,NAM),通过惩罚贡献因子较小的权重来避免噪声对模态不变信息学习造成一定干扰。同时采用特征分离模块(feature separation module,FSM)来分离出身份相关特征与身份无关特征,有效提升了模型对异质样本的识别能力。最后联合难样本三元组和加权正则化损失对网络进行监督训练,从而约束行人特征学习。在RegDB数据集上,DEN的Rank1准确率和mAP分别达到了94.86%和90.10%的高水准。     

Systematic Synthesis of Compressive VDTA-Based T-T Filter with Orthogonal Control of fo and Q

Based on sixteen nullor-mirror models of the voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA) and port admittance matrices of the tow-Thomas (T-T) filter with orthogonal control between the characteristic frequency (f_o) and figure of merit (Q), two different categories of the voltage-mode and transconductance-mode T-T filters are synthesized by the means of the nodal admittance matrix (NAM) expansion method. The category A filter that employs two compressive VDTAs and two grounded capacitors includes four structures, and the category B filter that uses two compressive VDTAs, two grounded capacitors, and one grounded resistor, also includes four structures. These circuits are suitable for integrated circuit manufacture, and their parameters f_o and Q can be orthogonally adjusted with varying the bias currents of VDTAs. After the paper and pencil test is completed, the computer analyses, including alternating current (AC), parameter sweep, Monte Carlo (MC), and noise analyses, are performed to support the synthesis approach.     

Fluoropolymer materials and architectures prepared by controlled radical polymerizations

This review initially summarizes the mechanisms, merits and limitations of the three controlled radical polymerizations: nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) or metal catalyzed living radical polymerization, and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. This is followed by two parts, one dealing with homo- and copolymerizations of fluorinated methacrylates and acrylates, and a second where fluorinated styrenes, alone or in combination with other monomers, are the main issues. In these parts, initiators (including multifunctional and macroinitiators), ligands and other reaction conditions as well as some kinetics and conversions are discussed. Numerous possibilities for preparation of a variety of different block copolymers where one or more blocks are fluorinated are devoted particular attention. The advantageous properties and functionalities that can be obtained from these novel fluorinated materials and architectures are especially emphasized. Thus, various amphiphilic, biocompatible or low energy materials, fluorinated nanoparticles and nanoporous films/membranes as well as materials for submicron and nanolevel electronics have been fabricated. In addition, the possible fluorination of various surfaces through surface initiation is highlighted. A final part deals with the use of fluorine containing initiators and macroinitiators, and the applications on the novel materials derived thereof.     

The extremely cold 2009–2010 winter and its relationship with the Arctic oscillation

The Northern-Hemisphere high-latitude continents experienced extremely cold weathers in winter 2009 2010. In the present paper, we show that the cold winter was associated with the activity of tile Arctic oscillation （AO）, which demonstrated the strongest negative polarity over the past six decades and persisted from December, 2009 to March, 2010. It is found that variations of the surface AO was closely linked to stratospheric polar vortex anomalies, and that the surface AO phases followed downward propagation of stratospheric Northern-Hemisphere Annular mode （NAM） anomalies during the winter. The case of 2009-2010 winter provides us with a typical example that anomalous stratospheric signals can be used to improve skills of long-range weather forecast and intra-seasonal climate prediction in winter time. We also show that the E1 Nifio event, which started developing from May 2009, might contribute the formation of exceptionally negative and persistent AO and stratospheric NAM, particularly over North Pacific and North America.
