A tale of two shuffle algebras by Neguț, Andrei

“…In the present paper, we take an orthogonal viewpoint, and give shuffle algebra presentations for the “top” and “bottom” halves instead, starting from the evaluation representation 𝑈𝑞(𝔤𝔩˙𝑛)↷ℂ𝑛(𝑧) and its usual R-matrix 𝑅(𝑧)∈End(ℂ𝑛⊗ℂ𝑛)(𝑧) (see Faddeev et al. in Leningrad Math J 1:193–226, 1990). …”

Protecting neural networks from adversarial attacks by Yeow, Zhong Han

“…The security benefits of the SSE implementation will also have to outweigh the cost for it to see realistic use. Other methods such as homomorphic encryption can be used on larger datasets and more complex models and may even be able to allow models to be trained while fully encrypted, protecting against more possibilities of adversarial attacks.…”

On the evolution of the Kham agreement paradigm by DeLancey, Scott

“…Recent studies of the agreement systems of the "prono-minalizing" Tibeto-Burman languages (Bauman 1974, 1975, 1979, DeLancey 1980, 1981a, 1983, Caughley 1982, Thurgood 1985) have established that the suffixed "pronominal" verb agreement paradigm, once considered to be a late secondary development in a few western branches of the family, is in fact widespread throughout the TB languages, and traceable to the Proto-Tibeto-Burman level.2 There is no reasonable doubt that most of the agreement paradigms found in the family represent com¬mon inheritance -- often, to be sure, with considerable reana¬lysis and secondary alteration -- of an original paradigm in which the ST pronominal roots *na '1st person' and *na(n) '2nd person' were suffixed to the verb in a split ergative pattern. (See DeLancey 1981b for a discussion of the notion of split ergativity and its relevance to some of the data discussed here).…”

Low-noise sensor interface circuits for implantable brain interfaces by Zhang, Beixi

“…In this circuit of amplifier, the capacitance will be used to reject dc offsets and pass the low-frequency signals.The amplification will be C1/C2,it is setted to 40dB and it can be implemented by the simulation test.This circuit also be proved that it has an input-referred noise of 4.822 uVrms.We can see in this paper that this amplifier can balance the noise and power.…”

Unsettling subject English in the 21st century by Elliott, VF, McLean Davies, L

“…We conclude with the implications for a systemic and multi-layered approach to unsettling. We see this as an opening up of a comparative conversation about subject English across the Anglophone world, the different contexts of unsettling, and what that subject might look like if it is to enact the justice imperatives of education in the 21st century. …”
