objective wilson disease (wd) is an inherited copper metabolism dysfunction disease characterized by cirrhosis and cns findings. wilson disease is important because it is fatal if not recognized and treated. our goal of study is to investigate the clinical signs and symptoms, lab results and other relevant matters in our patients in order to obtain a better understanding of this potentially let...

In this thesis algorithmic improvements and variants for two-flavor lattice QCD simulations with dynamical fermions are studied using the O(a) improved Dirac-Wilson operator in the Schrödinger functional setup and employing a hybrid Monte Carlo-type (HMC) update. Both, the Hermitian and the Non-Hermitian operator are considered. For the Hermitian Dirac-Wilson operator we investigate the advanta...

We present tools for the analysis of Follow-The-Regularized-Leader (FTRL), Dual Averaging, and Mirror Descent algorithms when the regularizer (equivalently, proxfunction or learning rate schedule) is chosen adaptively based on the data. Adaptivity can be used to prove regret bounds that hold on every round, and also allows for data-dependent regret bounds as in AdaGrad-style algorithms (e.g., O...

Since 1997, UKQCD has been conducting dynamical fermion simulations on a Cray T3E machine using typically 128 processors (35 Gflops sustained). This has permitted production studies on lattices up to 16×32 and mπ/mρ down to around 0.60 [1]. Study groups within the collaboration are now planning physics programmes for the advent of the QCDOC multi-Teraflops machine which is expected to be our ma...
