When thinking about national statues and monuments, my mind flashed back to a picture I saw when I was twelve and nearing the height of my Jonas Brothers obsession. It was a photo of the three brothers at the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I knew nothing about the statue at the time but I was struck by how massive and looming it was compared to the size of an average ...

evolutionary time across the globe (Menge and Lub-chenco 1981, Albouy et al. 2019, Silvestro et al. 2020). Although evidence continues to accrue in support of the prediction that predation intensity is stronger at lower latitudes (e.g., Schemske et al. 2009, Roslin et al. 2017, Reynolds et al. 2018), debate on its generality persists (Roesti et al. 2020). Further, variation in predation ...

By Aamy Kuldip (view PDF version) I. Introduction Human trafficking is a horrific crime that involves stealing one’s freedom for profit. [1] Victims of human trafficking may be tricked or forced into providing commercial sex or illegal labor, and are often left extremely traumatized. [2] Online communication platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Craigslist, enable human trafficking ...

Abstract—Recent literature advances motion sensors mounted on smartphones and AR/VR headsets to speech eavesdropping due to their sensitivity to subtle vibrations. The popularity of mo-tion sensors in earphones has fueled a rise in their sampling rate, which enables various enhanced features. This paper investigates a new threat of eavesdropping via motion sensors of earphones by developing ...

Registered index-linked annuities (RILAs) are increasingly popular equity-based re-tirement savings products o ered by U.S. life insurance companies. They combine features of xed-index annuities and traditional variable annuities (TVAs), o ering in-vestors equity exposure with downside protection in a tax-deferred setting. This article introduces RILAs to the academic literature by describing ...

Abstract—Recent years have witnessed the unprecedented performance of convolutional networks in image super-resolution (SR). SR involves upscaling a single low-resolution image to meet application-specific image quality demands, making it vital for mobile devices. However, the excessive computational and memory requirements of SR tasks pose a challenge in mapping SR networks on a single ...

1 Introduction Most collision detection algorithms, such as OBBTree [Gottschalk96], sphere hier-archies [Hubbard96] and BV-trees [Klosowski97], try to minimize the number of primitive-primitive intersections that have to be computed. Still, a fast and reliable method for computing the primitive-primitive intersection is desired. Since render-ing hardware is often targeted for triangles, the ...
