Influenza infection is an important cause of global mortality and morbidity with the greatest impact on older people and those with chronic disease.Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are particularly vulnerable to influenza, with evidence for increased incidence and severity of infection.In this patient group influenza is as
Abstract Axions and axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales, making for a natural detection technique in searches for solar axions.We find that there are large suppressive corrections, potentially greater than a factor of O $$ mathcal{O}
One major topic for robust face recognition could be the efficient encoding of facial descriptors.Among various encoders, Fisher vector (FV) is one of the probabilistic methods that yield promising results.However, its huge representation is fairly forbidding.In this paper, we present approaches to efficiently compress FV and retain its robustness.
