the present treatment goals for inflammatory bowel diseases (ibd) especially ulcerative colitis (uc) include rapid induction of clinical remission, steroid-free maintenance of clinical remission, mucosal healing and improvement of quality of life in uc patients. immunomodulators have been reserved for steroid- dependent or steroid- refractory uc patients. among these agents, azathioprine/6-merc...

Aiming at alleviate the detrimental effect of similar object interferences and target state changes in SiamRPN tracker, a Channel Positive Negative Feedback Network (CPFN) is proposed, which Gaussian score map generated by feature channels selected kernel, combined with classification branches SiamRPN. In this way, are divided into positive feedback interference channels, these effectively util...

Abstract The paper presents memristor crossbar architectures for implementing layers in deep neural networks, including the fully connected layer, convolutional and pooling layer. crossbars achieve positive negative weight values approximately realize various nonlinear activation functions. Then constructed by are adopted to build memristor-based multi-layer network (MMNN) (MCNN). Two kinds of ...

To improve the accuracy of indoor pedestrian positioning, an indoor pedestrian positioning system with two-order Bayesian estimation based on Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Particle Filter (PF) is proposed in this paper. The presented system combines a foot-mounted inertial sensor, a Wi-Fi propagation model and building structure to make good use of these information resources. There are two ...

For the static list update problem, given an ordered list ρ0 (an ordering of the list L = { aa, a2, ..., al }), and a sequence σ = (σ1, σ2, ..., σm) of requests for items in L, we characterize the list reorganizations in an optimal offline solution in terms of an initial permutation of the list followed by a sequence of m element transfers, where an element transfer is a type of list reorganiza...

Read-copy update (RCU) has been used in the Linux kernel for more than a decade, raising the question of exactly what it is used for. To answer this question, we briefly survey use of RCU in the Linux kernel, addressing the why, where, and how of its usage. This document also includes a novel graphical depiction of the relationships among several patterns of RCU usage.

Let φ be a locally upper bounded Borel measurable function on a Greenian open set Ω in Rd and, for every x ∈ Ω, let vφ(x) denote the infimum of the integrals of φ with respect to Jensen measures for x on Ω. Twenty years ago, B.J. Cole and T.J. Ransford proved that vφ is the supremum of all subharmonic minorants of φ on X and that the sets {vφ < t}, t ∈ R, are analytic. In this paper, a differen...

DIAGONAL ELEMENTS, EIGENVALUES, AND SINGULAR VALUES DRAFT AS OF April 30, 2013 SHENG-JHIH WU AND MOODY T. CHU Abstract. Diagonal entries and eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix, diagonal entries and singular values of a general matrix, and eigenvalues and singular values of a general matrix satisfy necessarily some majorization relationships which turn out also to be sufficient conditions. The in...

The terrain classification is a very important subject to the all-terrain robotics community. The knowledge of the type of terrain allows a rover to deal with its environment more efficiently. The work presented in this paper shows that it is possible to differentiate terrains based on their aspects, using exteroceptive sensors, as well as based on their influence on the rover’s behavior, using...
