a relation between multi-scale visual curvature and convexity of simple closed curves. To our best knowledge, the proposed definition of visual curvature is the first ever that applies to regular curves as defined in differential geometry as well as to turn angles of polygonal curves. Moreover, it yields stable curvature estimates of curves in digital images even under sever distortions.

Finally, 5- to 7-year-old children may become able to relate the larger count words to the approximate system using struc-ture mapping.86 Eventually, conceptual understand-ing of numerical relations appears to move away from associations between numerical symbols and their concrete referents and move to associations among numerical symbols,87 a ...

Countries are losing a generation of young adults and creating a generation of orphans.5 As new infections continue, and the number of people living with HIV/AIDS grows, the need for treatment increases and outpaces the ability to provide it.6 This pandemic calls for interventions that emphasize effective, evidence-based prevention methods ...

The proposed OSB computes the distance value between two sequences based directly on the distances of corre-sponding elements, just as DTW does, and it allows the ignoring of outlier points on both the query and target se-quences to find the best match, just as LCSS does. The main difference between DTW and OSB is that, unlike DTW, OSB can skip outlier elements of the query and target se ...

Paul Scharre* Much of the debate on autonomous weapons presumes a choice between human versus autonomous decision-making over targeting and engagement decisions. In fact, in many situations, human-machine teaming in engagement decisions will not only be possible but preferable. Hybrid human-machine cognitive architectures will be able to leverage the precision and reliability of automation ...

Criticism 5: Evidence for dual processing is ambiguous or unconvincing The critics of dual-process theories would have readers believe that the evidence for dual processes is weak or ambiguous, that it can be explained away by single-process theory accounts that do not implicate qualitatively distinct types of mental processing.

Abstract—The Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly grown in the past decade as an emerging technology. Due to the heterogeneity and energy limitations of IoT devices, adopting eficient management practices for developing IoT applications and managing IoT networks is a challenging task. One of the most critical IoT challenges that needs to be considered is routing due to its significant impact ...

Prior studies indicate that children vary widely in their mathematical knowledge by the time they enter preschool and that this variation predicts levels of achievement in elementary school. In a longitudinal study of a diverse sample of 44 preschool children, we examined the extent to which their understanding of the cardinal meanings of the number words (e.g., knowing that the word “four ...

The specifics of what is a socialist legal system and what constitutes Chinese characteristics in terms of the rule of law are subject to further debate. The Confucian heritage rooted legal tradition and the single party ruling system have significantly shaped the legal landscape of the country, making the route to the rule of law in China a long and thorny one. Despite China’s socialist ...
