Vibrational spectra for an extended cosine hyperbolic type potential model by C.A. Onate, Ituen B. Okon, E.S. Eyube, E. Omugbe, E.S. William, A.D. Ahmed, E.P. Inyang

“…The radial Schrödinger equation is solved for an extension of a cosine hyperbolic type potential using the parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method to obtain the energy equation and wave function. Using the condition of the diatomic molecular potential function, the screening parameter was calculated to suit the computations for different molecules. …”

TACO: Adversarial Camouflage Optimization on Trucks to Fool Object Detectors by Adonisz Dimitriu, Tamás Vilmos Michaletzky, Viktor Remeli

“…Adopting Unreal Engine 5, TACO integrates differentiable rendering with a Photorealistic Rendering Network to optimize adversarial textures targeted at YOLOv8. To ensure the generated textures are both effective in deceiving detectors and visually plausible, we introduce the Convolutional Smooth Loss function, a generalized smooth loss function. …”
