A New Collocation Scheme Using Non-polynomial Basis Functions by Zhang, Chao, Liu, Wenjie, Wang, Li-Lian

“…With a direct inverting the operator, the basis can be pre-computed in a fast and stable manner. This leads to new collocation schemes for general second-order boundary value problems with (i) the matrix corresponding to the operator LλLλ being identity; (ii) well-conditioned linear systems and (iii) exact imposition of various boundary conditions. …”

Adeno-associated virus mediated rhodopsin delivery in preventing secondary cone degeneration in rhodopsin knockout mice by Dauletbekov, D

“…The overall objective of this work was to develop an optimized gene replacement therapy, delivering the rhodopsin gene for rhodopsin- linked RP and establish whether secondary cone loss can be delayed.</p> <p>A fast-acting single mutant serotype 8 self-complementary adeno-associated virus vector was produced containing the human rhodopsin promoter and the human rhodopsin coding sequence. …”

Highly selective upcycling of plastic mixture waste by microwave-assisted catalysis over Zn/b-ZnO by Zhao, J, Liu, B, Xiong, L, Liu, W, Wang, D, Ma, W, Jiang, L, Yang, J, Wang, P, Xiao, T, Zhao, S, Edwards, PP, Tang, J

“…Here, a hybrid Zn/b-ZnO catalyst, together with the specially-designed microwave reaction system, has achieved fast plastic waste upgrading under atmospheric pressure without using H2. …”

Efficient additive kernels via explicit feature maps by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…In particular, we: 1) provide explicit feature maps for all additive homogeneous kernels along with closed form expression for all common kernels; 2) derive corresponding approximate finite-dimensional feature maps based on a spectral analysis; and 3) quantify the error of the approximation, showing that the error is independent of the data dimension and decays exponentially fast with the approximation order for selected kernels such as χ2. …”
