Brokerage Intermediation in the Commercial Property Market
This study is one of the first to investigate brokerage intermediation effects in the income producing commercial property market. Employing multifamily sales data from the Atlanta and Phoenix markets under alternative brokerage specifications, little evidence to support the existence of systematic, differential transaction pricing outcomes due to the presence of brokers is found. The results suggest that the existence of brokerage intermediation effects is likely minimal in commercial markets that are relatively transparent, that have participants who are knowledgeable, and where value and price are typically determined based on a property’s income generating capacity.

DI-Net : Decomposed Implicit Garment Transfer Network for Digital Clothed 3D Human
3D virtual try-on enjoys many potential applications and hence has attracted
wide attention. However, it remains a challenging task that has not been
adequately solved. Existing 2D virtual try-on methods cannot be directly
extended to 3D since they lack the ability to perceive the depth of each pixel.
Besides, 3D virtual try-on approaches are mostly built on the fixed topological
structure and with heavy computation. To deal with these problems, we propose a
Decomposed Implicit garment transfer network (DI-Net), which can effortlessly
reconstruct a 3D human mesh with the newly try-on result and preserve the
texture from an arbitrary perspective. Specifically, DI-Net consists of two
modules: 1) A complementary warping module that warps the reference image to
have the same pose as the source image through dense correspondence learning
and sparse flow learning; 2) A geometry-aware decomposed transfer module that
decomposes the garment transfer into image layout based transfer and texture
based transfer, achieving surface and texture reconstruction by constructing
pixel-aligned implicit functions. Experimental results show the effectiveness
and superiority of our method in the 3D virtual try-on task, which can yield
more high-quality results over other existing methods
Dual Adaptive Transformations for Weakly Supervised Point Cloud Segmentation
Weakly supervised point cloud segmentation, i.e. semantically segmenting a
point cloud with only a few labeled points in the whole 3D scene, is highly
desirable due to the heavy burden of collecting abundant dense annotations for
the model training. However, existing methods remain challenging to accurately
segment 3D point clouds since limited annotated data may lead to insufficient
guidance for label propagation to unlabeled data. Considering the
smoothness-based methods have achieved promising progress, in this paper, we
advocate applying the consistency constraint under various perturbations to
effectively regularize unlabeled 3D points. Specifically, we propose a novel
DAT (\textbf{D}ual \textbf{A}daptive \textbf{T}ransformations) model for weakly
supervised point cloud segmentation, where the dual adaptive transformations
are performed via an adversarial strategy at both point-level and region-level,
aiming at enforcing the local and structural smoothness constraints on 3D point
clouds. We evaluate our proposed DAT model with two popular backbones on the
large-scale S3DIS and ScanNet-V2 datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate
that our model can effectively leverage the unlabeled 3D points and achieve
significant performance gains on both datasets, setting new state-of-the-art
performance for weakly supervised point cloud segmentation.Comment: ECCV 202
Cardiovascular health status in Chinese adults in urban areas: Analysis of the Chinese Health Examination Database 2010
Background: The American Heart Association (AHA) recently developed definitions of cardiovascular health for adults and children based on 7 cardiovascular disease risk factors or health behaviors. We applied this new construct to examine the cardiovascular health status in adult Chinese urban residents. Methods: Data of 1,012,418 subjects aged 20–65 years (55% were men; mean age, 42.4 years) who received health examination at 58 health examination centers across China was analyzed. The AHA ideal health behaviors index and ideal health factor index were evaluated among the subjects. Results: Only 0.6% of male and 2.6% of female subjects met all 7 health components, and only 39.1% of the subjects met 5 or more components of ideal cardiovascular health. The prevalence of “ideal”, “intermediate” and “poor” cardiovascular health was 1.5%, 33.9% and 64.6%, respectively. Conclusion: About two-thirds of the adult Chinese urban population has “poor” cardiovascular health. Comprehensive individual and population-based interventions must be developed to improve cardiovascular health status in China
