Towards Intelligent Traffic Signaling in Dhaka City Based on Vehicle Detection and Congestion Optimization

Kazi Ababil Azam, Hasan Masum, Masfiqur Rahaman, A. B. M. Alim Al Islam · 2025

The vehicular density in urbanizing cities of developing countries such as Dhaka, Bangladesh result in a lot of traffic congestion, causing poor on-road experiences. Traffic signaling is a key compone…

PULASki: Learning inter-rater variability using statistical distances to improve probabilistic segmentation

Soumick Chatterjee, Franziska Gaidzik, Alessandro Sciarra, Hendrik Mattern, Gabor Janiga, Oliver Speck, Andreas Nurnberger, Sahani Pathiraja · 2023

In the domain of medical imaging, many supervised learning based methods for segmentation face several challenges such as high variability in annotations from multiple experts, paucity of labelled dat…

Introduction-Panspermia, 2020.

Edward J Steele · 2020

This current volume is, in many ways, a 2020 update to the important 1999-2000 compendium by Sir Fred Hoyle and Professor N. Chandra Wickramasinghe's "Astronomical Origins of life: Steps towards Pansp…

Evidence for reduced magnetic braking in polars from binary population models

Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber, Anna F. Pala, Boris T. Gansicke, Monica Zorotovic, Claudia V. Rodrigues · 2019

We present the first population synthesis of synchronous magnetic cataclysmic variables, called polars, taking into account the effect of the white dwarf (WD) magnetic field on angular momentum loss. …

Magnetic Fields in Interacting Binaries

G. Briggs, Lilia Ferrario, C. A.Tout, D. T. Wickramasinghe · 2018

Wickramasinghe et al. (2014) and Briggs et al. (2015) have proposed that the strong magnetic fields observed in some single white dwarfs (MWDs) are formed by a dynamo driven by differential rotation w…

Transfer of Life-Bearing Meteorites from Earth to Other Planets

Tetsuya Hara, Kazuma Takagi, Daigo Kajiura · 2012

The probability is investigated that the meteorites originating on Earth are transferred to other planets in our Solar System and to extra solar planets. We take the collisional Chicxulub crater eve…

Primordial Planets Explain Interstellar Dust, the Formation of Life; and Falsify Dark Energy

Carl H. Gibson (University of California at San Diego), N. Chandra Wickramasinghe (Cardiff University, Buckingham University, UK), Rudolph E. Schild (Harvard University) · 2011

Hydrogravitional-dynamics (HGD) cosmology of Gibson/Schild 1996 predicts proto-globular-star-cluster PGC clumps of Earth-mass planets fragmented from plasma at ~0.3 Myr. Protogalaxies retained the ~0.…

An analytical approximation of the luminosity distance in flat cosmologies with a cosmological constant

Masaru Adachi, Masumi Kasai · 2011

We present an analytical approximation formula for the luminosity distance in spatially flat cosmologies with dust and a cosmological constant. Apart from the overall factor, the effect of non-zero co…

The Biological Big Bang: The First Oceans of Primordial Planets at 2-8 Million Years Explain Hoyle/Wickramasinghe Cometary Panspermia

Carl H. Gibson (University of California at San Diego) · 2011

Hydrogravitional-dynamics (HGD) cosmology of Gibson/Schild 1996 predicts that the primordial H-He^4 gas of big bang nucleosynthesis became proto-globular-star-cluster clumps of Earth-mass planets at 3…

First life in primordial-planet oceans: the biological big bang

Carl H. Gibson (Univ. Cal. San Diego US) N. Chandra Wickramasinghe (Cardiff Univ. UK) Rudolph E. Schild (Harvard Univ. US) · 2010

A scenario is presented for the formation of first life in the universe based on hydro-gravitational-dynamics (HGD) cosmology. From HGD, the dark matter of galaxies is H-He gas dominated planets (prim…

Exploring the origin of neutron star magnetic field: magnetic properties of the progenitor OB stars

V. Petit, G.A. Wade, L. Drissen, T. Montmerle · 2007

Ferrario & Wickramasinghe (2006) explored the hypothesis that the magnetic fields of neutron stars are of fossil origin. In this context, they predicted the field distribution of the progenitor OB sta…

Disk Accretion onto Magnetized Neutron Stars: The Inner Disk Radius and Fastness Parameter

X.-D. Li, Z.-R. Wang (Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University) · 1999

It is well known that the accretion disk around a magnetized compact star can penetrate inside the magnetospheric boundary, so the magnetospheric radius $\ro$ does not represent the true inner edge $\…

Cyclotron spectroscopy of VV Puppis

Axel D. Schwope (AIP Potsdam), Klaus Beuermann (Univ. Goettingen) · 1997

We present phase-resolved spectrophotometric observations of VV Puppis obtained during two different states of accretion. We confirm the detection of cyclotron lines from emission regions at both pole…
