Learning from different modalities is a challenging task. In this paper, we look at the challenging problem of cross modal face verification and recognition between caricature and visual image modalities. Caricature ...

In this paper we introduce a methodology to identify communities in dark multilayered networks, taking into account that the main challenges of these networks are incompleteness, fuzzy boundaries, and dynamic behavior. ...

This work investigates the role of surface parameters such as the nanoscale roughness, topography, and skewness of smooth and rough Si surfaces in the shape of patterns left by evaporating colloidal droplets of spherical ...

The present study demonstrates a soft-template-assisted synthesis route to the preparation of a hierarchical microporous–mesoporous Cu-BTC metal–organic framework. The supramolecular assembly of dicationic quaternary ...

Quantum dynamics of the molecule cyanogen (NCCN) and its collision with helium taking place in the interstellar medium has been studied. An ab initio potential energy surface of NCCN−−He, a van der Waals complex, is ...

The key to unlock a renewable, clean, and energy-dense hydrogen fuel lies in designing an efficient oxygen evolving catalyst exhibiting high activity, stability, and cost-effectiveness. This report addresses an improved ...

We study how a quantum heat engine performs across the critical value of an external parameter, pertaining to the quantum phase transition. Considering a two-ion system subjected to a magnetic field, we show that the ...

Centrality measures, erstwhile popular amongst the sociologists and psychologists, have seen broad and increasing applications across several disciplines of late. Amongst a plethora of application speci c de nitions available ...

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used as candidate materials for biomedical implants. Despite their good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, these materials suffer from corrosion after implantation in ...

In order to design a painless and mechanically durable micro syringe-needle system for biomedical applications, the study of insect stingers is of interest because of their elegant structures and functionalities. In the ...
