This is so funny 😂. Evil EU can make laws without following ancient & overcome principles of anti competition law. The hubris transpiring from it is revealing.

Does this guy think the DMA is not a law? That it's *not* approved by the elected European Parliament? What the fuck is this obvious misinformation? https://hardcoresoftware.learningbyshipping.com/p/215-building-under-regulation

Vote for representatives who pledge strong climate action. 2. Reduce flying and fossil fuel-powered transport in favour of electric and public transport. 3. Reduce meat consumption. 4. Reduce home heating or cooling emissions. 5. Join a campaign or protest group.

Electron Imaging of Nanoscale Charge Distributions Induced by Femtosecond Light Pulses
Surface charging is a phenomenon ubiquitously observable in in-situ transmission electron microscopy of non-conducting specimens as a result of electron beam/sample interactions or optical stimuli and often limits the achievable image stability and spatial or spectral resolution. Here, we report on the electron-optical imaging of surface charging on a nanostructured surface following femtosecond-multiphoton photoemission. By quantitatively extracting the light-induced electrostatic potential an…

Domain adaptation, Explainability & Fairness in AI for Medical Image Analysis: Diagnosis of COVID-19 based on 3-D Chest CT-scans
The paper presents the DEF-AI-MIA COV19D Competition, which is organized in the framework of the 'Domain adaptation, Explainability, Fairness in AI for Medical Image Analysis (DEF-AI-MIA)' Workshop of the 2024 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) Conference. The Competition is the 4th in the series, following the first three Competitions held in the framework of ICCV 2021, ECCV 2022 and ICASSP 2023 International Conferences respectively. It includes two Challenges on: i) Covid-19 Dete…

Effective refractive index of a silicon dioxide with implanted Ag nanoparticles and Er$^{3+}$ ions
We consider light propagation in a silicon dioxide substrate with implanted ${\mathrm{Er}}^{3+}$ ions and silver nanoparticles that are randomly and homogeneously distributed in the substrate. When their densities are large enough, the medium can have a negative refractive index over a certain range of frequencies, within which the following exotic property ensues: increasing the electric and magnetic plasma frequencies, the medium transparency is augmented.

Rolling Shutter Correction with Intermediate Distortion Flow Estimation
This paper proposes to correct the rolling shutter (RS) distorted images by estimating the distortion flow from the global shutter (GS) to RS directly. Existing methods usually perform correction using the undistortion flow from the RS to GS. They initially predict the flow from consecutive RS frames, subsequently rescaling it as the displacement fields from the RS frame to the underlying GS image using time-dependent scaling factors. Following this, RS-aware forward warping is employed to conv…

Anatomically-Controllable Medical Image Generation with Segmentation-Guided Diffusion Models
Diffusion models have enabled remarkably high-quality medical image generation, yet it is challenging to enforce anatomical constraints in generated images. This hampers many useful applications, including pre-registered image generation, counterfactual scenarios, and others. To this end, we propose a diffusion model-based method that supports anatomically-controllable medical image generation, by following a multi-class anatomical segmentation mask at each sampling step. We additionally introd…
