Underwater Vortex and Aggregation Behaviors Based on Monocular Vision
Collective behavior is a form of movement that emerges to the whole through simple rules of interaction defined between individuals. The essence of the formation of collective behaviors is the exchange of info...

An Unsupervised Approach for 3D Face Reconstruction from a Single Depth Image
In this paper, we propose a convolutional encoder network to learn a map** function from a noisy depth image to a 3D expressive facial model. We formulate the task as an embedding problem and train the netwo...

Selective Solvent Deasphalting for Heavy Oil Emulsion Treatment
Solvents are often used to treat heavy oil emulsions such as bitumen froth produced in the recovery of bitumen from oil sands. It has been found that the aromaticity of the solvent and the solvent-to-bitumen d...

Abrupt Transition Between Thermally-Assisted and Pure Quantum Tunneling in Mn12
Single-molecule magnets are organic materials which contain a large (Avogadro’s) number of identical magnetic molecules; Mn12 acetate is a particularly simple and much-studied example of this class. The Mn12 clus...
