Quark charge balance function and hadronization effects in relativistic heavy ion collisions
We calculate the charge balance function of the bulk quark system before
hadronization and those for the directly produced and the final hadron system
in high energy heavy ion collisions. We use the covariance coefficient to
describe the strength of the correlation between the momentum of the quark and
that of the anti-quark if they are produced in a pair and fix the parameter by
comparing the results for hadrons with the available data. We study the
hadronization effects and decay contributions by comparing the results for
hadrons with those for the bulk quark system. Our results show that while
hadronization via quark combination mechanism slightly increases the width of
the charge balance functions, it preserves the main features of these functions
such as the longitudinal boost invariance and scaling properties in rapidity
space. The influence from resonance decays on the width of the balance function
is more significant but it does not destroy its boost invariance and scaling
properties in rapidity space either. The balance functions in azimuthal
direction are also presented.Comment: 9 figure
Characterisation Platform For Surface Metrology
The measurement and characterisation of surface texture are the most critical factors and important functionality indicators.The real surfaces is continuous, but a discrete data set is acquired by any metrology instrumentation. After a series of processes of the finite digital sample, the parameters, which are the link betweenthe surface texture, the functionality excepted and the manufacturing process, will be calculated for the surface characterisation. This platform is designed to realize the analysis and processes for the surface characterisation
Co-occurrence Feature Learning for Skeleton based Action Recognition using Regularized Deep LSTM Networks
Skeleton based action recognition distinguishes human actions using the
trajectories of skeleton joints, which provide a very good representation for
describing actions. Considering that recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with Long
Short-Term Memory (LSTM) can learn feature representations and model long-term
temporal dependencies automatically, we propose an end-to-end fully connected
deep LSTM network for skeleton based action recognition. Inspired by the
observation that the co-occurrences of the joints intrinsically characterize
human actions, we take the skeleton as the input at each time slot and
introduce a novel regularization scheme to learn the co-occurrence features of
skeleton joints. To train the deep LSTM network effectively, we propose a new
dropout algorithm which simultaneously operates on the gates, cells, and output
responses of the LSTM neurons. Experimental results on three human action
recognition datasets consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
model.Comment: AAAI 2016 conferenc
