FedCBO: reaching group consensus in clustered Federated learning through Consensus-Based Optimization by Carrillo, JA, Trillos, NG, Li, S, Zhu, Y

“…Our model is motivated by rigorous mathematical reasoning, including a mean field analysis describing the large number of particles limit of our particle system, as well as convergence guarantees for the simultaneous global optimization of general non-convex objective functions (corresponding to the loss functions of each cluster of users) in the mean-field regime. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our FedCBO algorithm compared to other state-of-the-art methods and help validate our methodological and theoretical work.…”

A combined single crystal neutron/X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance study of the hybrid perovskites CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br and Cl) by Baikie, Tom, Barrow, Nathan S., Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, White, Timothy John, Fang, Yanan, Keenan, Philip J., Slater, Peter R., Piltz, Ross O., Gutmann, Matthias

“…Furthermore, impedance spectroscopy has been used to monitor the high-temperature phase transition of CH3NH3PbI3, which confirms a significant increase in conductivity, when it is in its high temperature and higher symmetry structural regime. The optical band-gaps of each halide perovskite were determined using UV-visible spectroscopy and are consistent with previous reports.…”

Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”

The radial spreading of volcanic umbrella clouds deduced from satellite measurements by Prata, F, Prata, A, Tanner, R, Grainger, RG, Borgas, M, Aubry, TJ

“…At the onset of neutral buoyancy, the radial spreading is better explained by a stronger dependence on time of A ⇠ C, rather than C 2/3, C 3/4 or C 2/9. This flow regime exists on the order of minutes and has not been observed previously in satellite data. …”
