Expectation propagation (EP), a family of methods for iterative approximate statistical inference closely related to belief propagation, is linked to a hybrid between Dykstra’s algorithm with cyclic Bregman projections and the method of alternating Bregman projections from convex analysis via the use of the information geometry of exponential families. Doing so justifies extrinsic information e...

This paper proposes a novel flow-batch analyzer (FBA), which employs a compact, low-cost aquarium air pump as an alternative to a peristaltic pump. The feasibility of using this simple propulsion device is demonstrated in a case study involving the classification of citrus juice samples with respect to brand. For this purpose, UV-vis spectra and SIMCA (soft independent modelling of class analog...

This paper focuses on minimizing the time requirement for CT capture through innovative simultaneous x-ray capture method. The state-of-the-art CT imaging methodology captures a sequence of projections during which the internal organ movements may lead to poor reconstruction due to motion artefacts. Traditional CT scanners' minimize such effect by taking more projections than necessary. In this...

Moldy apple core is an internal fruit disease that poses a threat to consumer health. In this study, synthetic minority over-sampling technology (SMOTE) based model of moldy was proposed solve the problem poor performance due imbalanced sample distribution in spectral nondestructive detection core. Two different methods, random under-sampling (RUS) and SMOTE, were used balance original samples....

We solve the problems of detecting and counting various forms of regularities in a string represented as a Straight Line Program (SLP). Given an SLP of size n that represents a string s of length N , our algorithm compute all runs and squares in s in O(nh) time and O(n) space, where h is the height of the derivation tree of the SLP. We also show an algorithm to compute all gapped-palindromes in...

In pandemic times, like the one we are witnessing for COVID-19, discussion about new efficient and rapid techniques diagnosis of diseases is more evident. this mini-review, present to virological scientific community potential attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy as a technique. Herein, explain operation technique, well its advantages over standard meth...
