U-dualities in Type II string theories and M-theory.
(Queen Mary University of London, 2013-10)In this thesis the recently developed duality covariant approach to string and Mtheory is investigated. In this formalism the U-duality symmetry of M-theory or Tduality symmetry of Type II string theory becomes manifest ... -
U.S. and EU Engagement with Islamists in the Middle East and North Africa
(Transatlantic Academy, 2015-08-25)The Arab uprisings have reminded U.S. and EU diplomats that they need to communicate with Islamist actors in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Western diplomacy has undergone a modest yet nonetheless significant ... -
UHD Video Super-Resolution using Low-Rank and Sparse Decomposition
(International Conference on Computer Vision, Robust Subspace Learning and Applications in Computer Vision, 2017)Sparse coding-based algorithms have been successfully applied to the single-image super resolution problem.
