Multi-directional colour edge detector using linear quaternion system convolution
A new linear colour image filter based on linear quaternion systems (LQSs) is introduced. It detects horizontal, vertical, left- and right-diagonal edges with a single LQS convolution mask. The proposed filter is a canonic minimal filter of four LQS filters, each with different angles of rotation combined parallel wise. Different angles of rotation are a key features of the new filter such that horizontal, vertical, left, and right-diagonal LQS filter masks rotate pixels through angles π/2, 5π/2, 3π/2, and 7π/2, respectively. Although, the four LQS masks are combined parallel to make a single LQS mask but derived using four quaternion convolutions, one for each direction of edges, the LQS filter produces a result without the combination of results from four separate edge detectors. This methodology could be generalised to design more elaborate LQS filters to perform other geometric operations on colour image pixels. The proposed filter translates smoothly changing colours to different shades of grey and produces coloured edges in multiple directions, where there is a sudden change of colour in the original image. Another key idea of the proposed filter is that it is linear because it operates in homogeneous coordinates

The Belle II physics book
The Belle II detector will provide a major step forward in precision heavy flavor physics, quarkonium and exotic states, searches for dark sectors, and many other areas. The sensitivity to a large number of key observables can be improved by about an order of magnitude compared to the current measurements, and up to two orders in very clean search measurements. This increase in statistical precision arises not only due to the increased luminosity, but also from improved detector efficiency and precision for many channels. Many of the most interesting observables tend to have very small theoretical uncertainties that will therefore not limit the physics reach. This book has presented many new ideas for measurements, both to elucidate the nature of current anomalies seen in flavor, and to search for new phenomena in a plethora of observables that will become accessible with the Belle II dataset. The simulation used for the studiesinthis book was state ofthe artat the time, though weare learning a lot more about the experiment during the commissioning period. The detector is in operation, and working spectacularly well

High Energy Physics
This grant covered an umbrella program of research in high-‐energy particle physics at Southern Methodist University during the period 2004-‐2013. The experimental program evolved during that time. At its early stages it included research on the CLEO experiment at CESR (Coan, Stroynowski, Ye), D0 experiment at Tevatron (Kehoe), preparation for the BTEV experiment at Fermilab (Coan) and construction and commissioning of the Liquid Argon Calorimeter for the ATLAS experiment at LHC (Stroynowski, Ye). In the last three years the program concentrated on the ATLAS experiment at LHC (Kehoe, Sekula, Stroynowski, Ye), D0 experiment at Tevatron (Kehoe) and NOvA experiment at Fermilab (Coan). Professor Sekula had a short-‐term independent grant for which he is submitting a separate report. The theoretical physics program included work on non-‐perturbative methods in the light cone representation (McCartor (deceased)), lattice calculations (Hornbostel), and determination of parton distribution functions (Olness). A summary of the accomplishments emphasizing results from the past three years is provided separately for each of the tasks
Review of Particle Physics
The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,143 new measurements from 709 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark photons, etc. Particle properties and search limits are listed in Summary Tables. We give numerous tables, figures, formulae, and reviews of topics such as Higgs Boson Physics, Supersymmetry, Grand Unified Theories, Neutrino Mixing, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Cosmology, Particle Detectors, Colliders, Probability and Statistics. Among the 120 reviews are many that are new or heavily revised, including a new review on Machine Learning, and one on Spectroscopy of Light Meson Resonances.
The Review is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 includes the Summary Tables and 97 review articles. Volume 2 consists of the Particle Listings and contains also 23 reviews that address specific aspects of the data presented in the Listings
