We present the NLO QCD corrections to the processes pp and p(p) over bar -> W(+)W(-)b(b) over bar including leptonic decays of the W bosons. Non-resonant contributions as well as diagrams with doubly resonant and singly resonant top quark propagators are fully taken into account. We employ the narrow width approximation to perform the decays of the W bosons; spin correlations are however preserved. We also calculate observables relevant for top quark mass measurements, and study the impact of kinematical requirements and different scale choices on t(t) over bar asymmetries.

Enhancing Human Pose Estimation in Ancient Vase Paintings via Perceptually-grounded Style Transfer Learning

Prathmesh Madhu, Angel Villar-Corrales, Ronak Kosti, Torsten Bendschus, Corinna Reinhardt, Peter Bell, Andreas Maier, Vincent Christlein

Summary: Human pose estimation is crucial for interpreting visual narratives and body movements in artworks, but existing methods lack generalization across domains leading to poor pose recognition. To address this, we propose a two-step approach: (1) adapting a dataset of natural images to the style of Greek vase paintings through perceptually-grounded style transfer, and fine-tuning the base model. Our method significantly improves the state-of-the-art performance on unlabelled data. (2) To further improve results, we create a dataset of ancient Greek vase paintings with person and pose annotations and fine-tune a style-transferred model on this data. We also provide a pose-based image retrieval to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

13C-Labeled Artificial Root Exudates Are Immediately Respired in a Peat Mesocosm Study

Raphael Mueller, Andreas Maier, Erich Inselsbacher, Robert Peticzka, Gang Wang, Stephan Glatzel

Summary: Root exudates in peat are immediately respired mainly as CO2, with a lag time for CH4 release. The majority of added root exudates remain in the solid and liquid phases of peat, suggesting no priming effect occurred.

Summary: Blood pressure monitoring is crucial for assessing cardiovascular health, but current methods have limitations in capturing blood pressure variations and are inaccurate and uncomfortable. A radar-based approach using skin movement to extract pressure waves and a neural network regression model shows potential in capturing blood pressure variations and can be incorporated into wearable devices for continuous blood pressure monitoring after further improvements.

Method for comparison of data driven gating algorithms in emission tomography

M. P. Reymann, A. H. Vija, A. Maier

Summary: This study aims to analyze the application of data driven gating (DDG) algorithms in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). By performing Monte Carlo simulation of phantoms, we evaluated the accuracy of two DDG algorithms and found that view angle, object size, count rate density, and contrast have significant impact on the algorithms.

Summary: This study aims to improve the classification accuracy of previous work on ERG signals by combining three optimal mother wavelet functions. The results show the feasibility of using Continuous Wavelet Transform for simultaneous analysis of mixed pediatric and adult ERG signals. The modern Visual Transformer-based architectures applied on the time-frequency representation of the signals achieve high classification accuracy, improving the results by an average of 7.6% compared to previous work.

Unsupervised Deep Learning for Advanced Forming Limit Analysis in Sheet Metal: A Tensile Test-Based Approach

Aleksandra Thamm, Florian Thamm, Annette Sawodny, Sally Zeitler, Marion Merklein, Andreas Maier

Summary: An accurate description of the formability and failure behavior of sheet metal materials is essential for optimizing forming process design. The forming limit curve (FLC) based on the Nakajima test is a widely used method for evaluating the formability of sheet metal materials. However, this method has limitations that can be overcome by using a combination of uniaxial tensile test and hydraulic bulge test. Machine learning approaches have the potential to improve the determination of the forming limit curve by incorporating other parameters. This work focuses on using a machine learning approach based on uniaxial tensile tests to define the forming limit of lightweight materials and high-strength steels.

Summary: Our study explores the feasibility of using quantum computing in emission tomography reconstruction, and proposes the use of a commercially available quantum annealer. We compare the performance of quantum computing with traditional algorithms and find that quantum computing shows competitive performance for small binary images, even under noisy and underdetermined conditions. However, scalability challenges exist as image size and pixel bit range increase.

Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks for Limited Data Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Image Classification

Mohammad Joshaghani, Amirabbas Davari, Faezeh Nejati Hatamian, Andreas Maier, Christian Riess

Summary: Hyperspectral remote sensing (HSRS) images with high dimensionality pose challenges for deep neural networks due to limited labeled data. In this study, Bayesian convolutional neural networks (BCNNs) are introduced as an alternative to CNNs, benefiting from Bayesian learning and providing an uncertainty measure. Experimental results on multiple datasets demonstrate that BCNN outperforms non-Bayesian CNNs, random forests, and Bayesian neural networks. BCNN also exhibits better resistance to overfitting and larger capacity for model compression, making it suitable for hardware-constrained settings. The uncertainty measure of BCNN effectively identifies misclassified samples, providing useful information for detecting mislabeled data or rejecting low-confidence predictions.
