New algorithms and VLSI architectures for efficient RNS computations by Tay, Thian Fatt

“…A new algorithm is proposed to directly map the residues of signed integers from one modulo-arithmetic friendly base S1 ≡ {2^n-1, 2^(n+k), 2^n+1} to another S2 ≡ {2^(n-α)-1, 2^(n+k-α), 2^(n-α)+1}, to reduce the word lengths of residue arithmetic operators by α bits. …”

Deep Reinforcement Learning in complex environments by Nardelli, N

“…Secondly, in a single-agent version of the same problem, we investigate how DRL can be used to develop a set of parameter-efficient differentiable planning modules to solve path-planning tasks with complex environment dynamics and variable map sizes. We show that the modules enable learning to plan when the environment also includes stochastic elements, providing a cost-efficient learning system to build low-level size-invariant planners for a variety of interactive, hard navigation problems. …”

Multiple introductions of NRCS-A Staphylococcus capitis to the neonatal intensive care unit drive neonatal bloodstream infections: a case-control and environmental genomic survey by Lees, EA, Gentry, J, Webster, H, Sanderson, N, Eyre, D, Wilson, D, Lipworth, S, Crook, D, Wong, THN, Mark, A, Jeffery, K, Paulus, S, Young, BC
