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

“…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. Hence, a block-wise recursive Moore-Penrose inverse (BRMP) method is proposed which can reformulate the original analytic learning exactly into a block-wise alternative using a block-wise decomposition of Moore-Penrose inverse. …”

Concurrent removal of Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) from wastewater by nanostructured layered sodium vanadosilicate: competitive adsorption kinetics and mechanisms by Zhang, Xiaoyuan, Liu, Yu

“…On the other hand, the adsorption efficiency of Cu2+ was not affected by the increase in the Co2+ and Ni2+ concentrations from 25 to 100 mg/L. Based on the experimental results obtained, the working mechanisms of nanostructured layered sodium vanadosilicates for Ni2+, Co2+ and Cu2+adsorption could be attributed to ion-exchange with sodium ion, surface electrostatic interaction and the formation of copper vanadium oxide. …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…We also mapped the binding interfaces of ZαADAR1 to Z-DNA, Z-RNA and E.coli ribosomes, and found them to be identical. Based on this finding, we proposed that the role of ZαADAR1 in binding to ribosomes and inhibiting translation is to recognize potentially Z-forming structures and/or induce localized structural transitions from A- to Z-conformations in ribosomal RNA. …”
