National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience, Tsukuba, Japan We analyzed strong-motion records at the ground and borehole in and around the Kanto Basin and the seafloor in the Japan Trench area from three nearby offshore earthquakes of similar magnitudes (Mw 5.8–5.9). The seafloor strong-motion records were obtained from S-net, which was established to enhance tsunami and earthquake early warnings after the 2011 great Tohoku-oki earthquake disaster. The borehole records were obtained from MeSO-net, a dense network of seismometers installed at a depth of 20 m in th...

Omnimatte: Associating Objects and Their Effects in Video We pose a novel problem: automatically associating subjects in videos with ‘effects’ related to them in the scene. Given an input video (top) and rough masks of subjects of interest (middle), our method estimates an omnimatte – an alpha matte and foreground color that includes the subject itself along with all scene elements associated with it (bottom). The associated elements can be other objects attached to the subject or moving with it, or complex effects such as shadows, reflections, smoke, or ripples the subject creates in ...

  Unlike most industries who have had major technological breakthroughs over the last one hundred years, the railroad industry has been stagnant in a lot of ways. Especially when it comes to track maintenance and repair; rail crews have been using the same technology –namely hydraulics and hand tools–to do the job. Although these methods have been industry-standard to this point, they come with severe negative factors working against them. From a pure production standpoint, both hydraulic and hand tools are extremely inefficient. Hydraulic tools require multiple people to operate; one pe...

Press Release Date: March 5, 2021 In the first months of the pandemic, Black and Hispanic patients accounted for a larger share of COVID-19-related hospitalizations than White patients, according to a new data analysis from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). A second data analysis demonstrates how different vaccine distribution prioritization plans may lead to different levels of equity across income and race/ethnicity. “AHRQ analysts continue to produce important insights into the pandemic and help healthcare policymakers make informed decisions,” said AHRQ Acting Dir...
