The Gluon Sivers Distribution: Status and Future Prospects by Daniël Boer, Cédric Lorcé, Cristian Pisano, Jian Zhou

“…We review what is currently known about the gluon Sivers distribution and what are the opportunities to learn more about it. Because single transverse spin asymmetries in p↑p→πX provide only indirect information about the gluon Sivers function through the relation with the quark-gluon and tri-gluon Qiu-Sterman functions, current data from hadronic collisions at RHIC have not yet been translated into a solid constraint on the gluon Sivers function. …”

Motion feature extraction using magnocellular-inspired spiking neural networks for drone detection by Jiayi Zheng, Jiayi Zheng, Yaping Wan, Xin Yang, Hua Zhong, Minghua Du, Gang Wang, Gang Wang

“…To address this, inspired by the magnocellular motion processing mechanisms, we proposed to utilize the spatial–temporal characteristics of the flying drones based on spiking neural networks, thereby developing the Magno-Spiking Neural Network (MG-SNN) for drone detection. The MG-SNN can learn to identify potential regions of moving targets through motion saliency estimation and subsequently integrates the information into the popular object detection algorithms to design the retinal-inspired spiking neural network module for drone motion extraction and object detection architecture, which integrates motion and spatial features before object detection to enhance detection accuracy. …”
