The function of 5'-nucleotidase in nucleoside uptake from AMP was investigated in human lymphocytes by comparing the transport in cells containing this enzyme (5'N+) with that in cells deficient in the activity (5'N-). The rate of adenosine and Pi uptake from AMP was 3.9-fold greater in the 5'N+ then in the 5'N- lymphocytes. There was no difference in transport between these cells when incubate...

We propose a convolutional neural network as an alternative to recurrent neural networks for separating out individual speakers in a sound mixture. Our results achieve state-of-the-art results with an order of magnitude fewer parameters. We also characterize the robustness of both models to generalize to three different testing conditions including a novel dataset. We create a new dataset RealT...

In cities with tall buildings, emergency responders need an accurate floor level location to find 911 callers quickly. We introduce a system to estimate a victim’s floor level via their mobile device’s sensor data in a two-step process. First, we train a neural network to determine when a smartphone enters or exits a building via GPS signal changes. Second, we use a barometer equipped smartphon...

For every prediction we might wish to make, we must decide what to observe (what source of information) and when to observe it. Because making observations is costly, this decision must trade off the value of information against the cost of observation. Making observations (sensing) should be an active choice. To solve the problem of active sensing we develop a novel deep learning architecture:...

This thesis is concerned with normal and pathological oscillations generated in thalamocortical neuronal network. By means of anatomically and physiologically based computational models we attempt to provide insight into phenomena such as event-related dynamics of alpha band rhythms and spontaneous generation of absence seizures. We present novel hypothesis regarding the neurophysiological subs...

To improve ATMs’ cash demand forecasts, this paper advocates the prediction of cash demand for groups of ATMs with similar day-of-the week cash demand patterns. We first clustered ATM centers into ATM clusters having similar day-of-the week withdrawal patterns. To retrieve “day-of-the-week” withdrawal seasonality parameters (effect of a Monday, etc) we built a time series model for each ATMs. F...

This paper proposes Adaptive Multi-Path routing (AMP) as a simple algorithm for dynamic traffic engineering within autonomous systems. In contrast to related multipath routing proposals, AMP does not employ a global perspective of the network in each node. It restricts available information to a local scope, which opens the potential of reducing signaling overhead and memory consumption in rout...

Abstract. The variations of δO2/N2 and δAr/N2 in the Dome Fuji ice core were measured from 112 m (bubbly ice) to 2001 (clathrate hydrate ice). Our method, combined with low storage temperature samples (−50 ∘C), successfully excludes post-coring gas-loss fractionation signals our data. From bubbly middle bubble–clathrate transition zone (BCTZ) (112–800 m) below BCTZ (>1200 m), data exhibit or...

Abstract. The variations of ?O2/N2 and ?Ar/N2 in the Dome Fuji ice core were measured from 112 m (bubbly ice) to 2001 (clathrate hydrate ice). Our method, combined with low storage temperature samples (?50 ?C), successfully excludes post-coring gas-loss fractionation signals our data.

In this letter, we describe a convergence of batch gradient method with a penalty condition term for a narration feed forward neural network called pi-sigma neural network, which employ product cells as the output units to inexplicit amalgamate the capabilities of higher-order neural networks while using a minimal number of weights and processing units. As a rule, the penalty term is condition ...
