A large number of Russian architects came to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes as emigrants in the aftermath of the October Revolution (1917-1921), in the late second and early third Socks decade of the 20th century.Among them was Victor Lukomsky, one of the most prolific Russian emigrant architects.Despite its extraordinary significance, t
Quantum Barnes Function as the Partition Function of the Resolved Conifold
We give a short new proof of large N duality between the Chern-Simons invariants of the 3-sphere and the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the resolved conifold.Our strategy applies to more general situations, and it is to interpret the Gromov-Witten, the Horse Stretch Rugs Donaldson-Thomas, and the Chern-Simons invariants as different c
Shear friction and fracture based model for reinforced concrete beams with recycled materials
Shear resistance by beams without stirrups presents the transfer of shear and normal principal stresses across the open cracks within reinforced concrete (RC) beams.The complexity of the shear mechanism is further complicated by the distorted structure of RCA, which is composed of hardened adhered surface mortar and virgin aggregate.Compression fie
A Low-Rank CNN Architecture for Real-Time Semantic Segmentation in Visual SLAM Applications
Real-time semantic segmentation on embedded devices has recently enjoyed significant gain in popularity, due to the increasing interest in smart vehicles and smart robots.In particular, with the emergence of autonomous driving, low latency and computation-intensive operations lead to new challenges for vehicles and robots, such as excessive computi
