We present a technique for simultaneous segmentation and classification of image partitions using combinatorial optimization techniques. By combining existing image segmentation approaches with simple learning techniques we show how prior knowledge can be incorporated into the visual grouping process through the formulation of a quadratic binary optimization problem. We further show how such to ef
Fashion's universal nature does not preclude strong variations in its significance from society to society. As a stratification variable, fashion's importance increases in step with economic growth. Simmel sees the ‘need for distinction’ and the ‘need for union’ as preconditions for fashion, with certain societies lacking the necessary motivation. Variations in fashion's importance have also been
En undersökning har under hösten 2011 genomförts vid Lunds tekniska högskola för att ta reda på attityder till murat och putsat byggande hos byggentreprenörer, arkitekter och köpare av småhus. Murat byggande är en byggnadsteknik som har sin tyngdpunkt i Skåne – här finns merparten av efterfrågan från småhusköparna men även erfarenheterna hos byggentreprenörerna. I övriga regioner är murat byggan
The article investigates notions of subjectivity, pathos, desire and God in the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Abraham Heschel. By bringing the two philosophers into dialogue, the article aims to question Levinas’ conviction that the idea of a personal God, characterized by “divine pathos,” is a mythological remnant which unavoidably leads the subject into idolatry. Furthermore, it challenge
In this paper, it is shown that more than half of the data flow buffer, due to a bit reversed FFT output and cyclic prefix in an OFDM transceiver, can be removed. To achieve this, a new pipelined FFT processor is proposed and a cyclic suffix is used instead of the more commonly used cyclic prefix. The FFT processor is used either with a forward or backward data flow, i.e. performing either a decim
We investigate the CCN activity of freshly emitted biomass burning particles and their hygroscopic growth at a relative humidity (RH) of 85%. The particles were produced in the Mainz combustion laboratory by controlled burning of various wood types. The water uptake at sub- and supersaturations is parameterized by the hygroscopicity parameter, κ (c.f. Petters and Kreidenweis, 2007). For the wood b
