This paper develops a unified framework for image-to-image translation based on conditional diffusion models and evaluates this four challenging tasks, namely colorization, inpainting, uncropping, JPEG restoration. Our simple implementation of outperforms strong GAN regression baselines all without task-specific hyper-parameter tuning, architecture customization, or any auxiliary loss sophisticated new techniques needed. We uncover the impact an L2 vs. L1 in denoising objective sample...
The likelihood of a crash or potential is significantly affected by the short-term turbulence traffic flow. For this reason, must be estimated on real-time basis monitoring current condition. In regard, probabilistic prediction model relating to various flow characteristics that lead occurrence, “crash precursors,” was developed. development previous model, however, several assumptions were made had not been clearly verified from either theoretical empirical perspectives. Therefore,...
Traffic flow characteristics that lead to crashes on urban freeways are examined. Since these observed prior crash occurrence, they referred as “crash precursors.” The objectives ( a) explore factors contributing changes in rate for individual vehicles traveling over an freeway and b) develop a probabilistic model relating significant precursors potential. data used examine were extracted from 38 loop detector stations 10-km stretch of the Gardiner Expressway Toronto 13-month period. An...
In this article, we report a facile electrochemical method to modify anatase TiO2 by cathodically biasing in an ethylene glycol electrolyte. The resulting black is highly stable with significantly narrower bandgap and higher electrical conductivity. Furthermore, largely improved photoconversion efficiency (increased from 48% 72% the visible region, nearly 0% 7% UV region), photocatalytic efficiency, charge-storage capability (∼42 fold increase) are achieved for treated TiO2.
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as a new class of two-dimensional materials that are promising for electronics and photonics. To date, optoelectronic measurements in these shown the conventional behavior expected from photoconductors such linear or sublinear dependence photocurrent on light intensity. Here, we report observation regime operation where depends superlinearly We use spatially resolved devices consisting CVD-grown monolayers TMD alloys spanning MoS2 to MoSe2...
We demonstrate supercontinuum generation in stoichiometric silicon nitride (Si3N4 SiO2) integrated optical waveguides, pumped at telecommunication wavelengths. The pump laser is a mode-locked erbium fiber wavelength of 1.56 µm with pulse duration 120 fs. With waveguide-internal energy 1.4 nJ and waveguide 1.0 × 0.9 cross section, designed for anomalous dispersion across the 1500 nm range, output spectrum extends from visible, around 526 nm, up to mid-infrared, least 2.6 µm, instrumental...
Using an innovative, tissue‐independent approach to decellularized tissue processing and biomaterial fabrication, the development of a series “tissue papers” derived from native porcine tissues/organs (heart, kidney, liver, muscle), bovine tissue/organ (ovary uterus), purified Achilles tendon collagen as control extracellular matrix particle ink suspensions cast into molds is described. Each paper type has distinct microstructural characteristics well physical mechanical properties, capable...
We report ultra-broadband supercontinuum generation in high-confinement Si3N4 integrated optical waveguides. The spectrum extends through the visible (from 470 nm) to infrared spectral range (2130 comprising a bandwidth wider than 495 THz, which is widest generated on chip.

This first randomized controlled trial Canada included 351 children (mean age 5.2 years at entry; 51% female) 18 public schools. Stratified randomization...
Kreuz and Glucksberg (1989) argued that sarcasm irony are similar in both forms of reminder, yet different conveys ridicule a specific victim whereas does not. This article reports two experiments provide empirical evidence this relation. In experiments, undergraduates read series passages. One group rated target utterance terms the extent to which it was good example sarcasm, second irony. Experiment 1, manipulation found affect participants' ratings hut not their 2, an ridiculed were...
Abstract This article provides a comprehensive overview of the novel idea real-time traffic safety improvement on freeways. Crash prone conditions freeway mainline and ramps were identified using loop detector data, then intelligent transportation systems (ITS) strategies to reduce crash risk in are proposed. Separate logistic regression models for assessing crashes occurring under two speed regimes estimated. The results show that variables consistent with probable mechanisms respective...
In this paper we present a novel fabrication technique for silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguides with thickness of up to 900 nm, which are suitable nonlinear optical applications. The method is based on etching trenches in thermally oxidized and filling the Si3N4. Using no stress-induced cracks Si3N4 layer were observed resulting high yield devices wafer. propagation losses obtained measured be as low 0.4 dB/cm at wavelength around 1550 nm.
