Searching for the Minimal Seesaw Models at the LHC and Beyond by Arindam Das

“…Due to the smallness of the LNV parameter of such models, the “smoking-gun” signature of same-sign dilepton is suppressed where the RHNs in the model will be manifested at the LHC and future 100 TeV pp collider dominantly through the Lepton number conserving (LNC) trilepton final state with Missing Transverse Energy (MET). Studying various production channels of such RHNs, we give an updated upper bound on the mixing parameters of the light-heavy neutrinos at the 13 TeV LHC and future 100 TeV pp collider.…”

Multiplex-PCR technique to predict polymorphic antigens – M, N, S and s – and associations between their alleles and Mia-associated hybrid glycophorins by Thanaporn Kerdthip, Oytip Nathalang, Sarisa Chidtrakoon, Tanaporn Choychimplee, Dollapak Apipongrat, Kamphon Intharanut

“…Remarkably, multiplex PCR was well optimised, and the results aligned with serological phenotyping and DNA sequencing data with maximum accuracy and reliability; this confirmed our findings on its validity in predicting MNSs phenotypes. In addition, this work strongly demonstrates, for the first time, a moderate correlation between the GYPA*M/M and GYPB*s/s genotypes and Mia-associated hybrid GPs among Thai donors. …”

Retail commodity detection method based on location learnable visual center mechanism by Xiaohua LYU, Mingchen WEI, Libo LIU

“…To address the problem of low detection accuracy caused by the difficulty in effectively capturing significant and diversified feature information for packaging deformation and overlap products, a location learnable visual center (LLVC) mechanism was designed to improve YOLOX-s, achieving higher detection accuracy.To effectively deal with product packaging deformation and overlap phenomena, firstly, global context information was captured through a lightweight multi-layer perceptron to help the model better understand spatial information in product features.Secondly, the local feature representation ability was enhanced by the designed LLVC and the spatial information was used to allocate learnable weights for local features to increase the attention of discriminative local features.Finally, the intersection over union (IoU) loss function was replaced with centered intersection over union (CIoU) and power parameters were introduced on this basis to effectively reduce the missed detection rate.Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 91.3% on the retail product checkout (RPC) dataset, which is 2.2% higher than YOLOX-s and better than current mainstream lightweight object detection algorithms.At the same time, frame per second (FPS) is 97 frame/s, and the model size is 9.48 MB.It can accurately and in real-time detect retail products in scenarios where computing resources are limited.…”
