Speeding up deep neural network training with decoupled and analytic learning by Zhuang, Huiping

“…The analytic learning of CPNet is made possible after the label information is projected into the hidden modules so that each 2-layer module can analytically solve the locally supervised learning using the least squares solutions. The other challenge is that, to implement the analytic learning, there is a possible issue of memory leak caused by matrix operations based on the entire dataset. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…FTIR and NMR analysis of arlydiazirine precursor reveals the decay kinetics of diazoalkane, and in some cases diazoalkane groups are stable for at least 30 minutes. Different UV wavelengths allow curing of diazirine with different efficiency depending on its shift relative to diazirine’s absorbance peak (~360 nm), and the longer wavelengths within this absorption region is able to penetrate the bioadhesive matrix deeper. …”

Mitigation of membrane biofouling via immobilizing Ag-MOFs on composite membrane surface for extractive membrane bioreactor by Yuan, Guoyu, Tian, Yuxiao, Wang, Bingxin, You, Xiaofei, Liao, Yuan

“…Moreover, #M2 exhibited the most stable EMBR performance among the composite membranes developed in this work and other reported membranes with a finally stabilized k0 of 33.0 × 10-7 m/s (89% of initial k0). The least amounts of proteins, polysaccharides and total suspended solids (TSS) on the surface of tested #M2 also demonstrated its outstanding biofouling resistance. …”

Homocysteine metabolism pathway is involved in the control of glucose homeostasis: a cystathionine beta synthase deficiency study in mouse by Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Meneyrol, Kelly, Denom, Jessica, Kassis, Nadim, Rachdi, Latif, Makaci, Fatna, Migrenne-Li, Stéphanie, Daubigney, Fabrice, Georgiadou, Eleni, Denis, Raphaël G., Sanchez-Archidona, Ana Rodriguez, Paul, Jean-Louis, Thorens, Bernard, Rutter, Guy A., Magnan, Christophe, Le Stunff, Hervé, Janel, Nathalie

“…Islets isolated from CBS+/- mice maintained their ability to respond to the elevated glucose levels, and we showed that a lower parasympathetic tone could, at least in part, be responsible for the insulin secretion defect. …”

Synthesis of noble metal-based nanocomposites for enhanced catalytic performance by Liu, Ye

“…Secondly, combing noble metal with some functional materials, such as MOFs, can introduce some additional properties, which may be beneficial to the catalytic activity as well as selectivity. Last but not least, supporting materials can promote the dispersion and stability of noble metal nanostructures.…”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Having confirmed the importance of spin-ice physics, chapter 6 explores the pressure and temperature dependence of the ice-like correlations. At least two phase transitions are identied at low pressure, kinetic trapping is observed and the extreme compressibility shown to be a function of cyanide reorientation and ice-like coordination. …”

Towards formal verification of Bayesian inference in probabilistic programming via guaranteed bounds by Zaiser, F

“…These bounds can be computed for a much larger class of probabilistic programs than exact methods and, unlike approximate methods, provide non-stochastic guarantees about the posterior distribution, such as: “the posterior probability of a given event is at least <em>p</em> and at most <em>q</em>”. Crucially, these bounds are fully automated and require no user-provided auxiliary information like loop invariants. …”
