Abstract: Cyclic prefix based channel equalization employed in the Discrete Multitone (DMT) modulation offers the advantage of simplified implementation. However, this method has the disadvantage of amplifying channel noise for channels having deep nulls in the frequency response. The in-home power line channel is one such channel that has high noise content, in addition to deep frequency nulls...

In this paper, we present a multimodal Recurrent Neural Network (m-RNN) model for generating novel image captions. It directly models the probability distribution of generating a word given previous words and an image. Image captions are generated according to this distribution. The model consists of two sub-networks: a deep recurrent neural network for sentences and a deep convolutional networ...

In this paper, we present a multimodal Recurrent Neural Network (m-RNN) model for generating novel sentence descriptions to explain the content of images. It directly models the probability distribution of generating a word given previous words and the image. Image descriptions are generated by sampling from this distribution. The model consists of two sub-networks: a deep recurrent neural netw...

The concept of improving the timing behavior of a circuit by relocating registers is called retiming and was "rst presented by Leiserson and Saxe. They showed that the problem of determining an equivalent minimum area (total number of registers) circuit is polynomial-time solvable. In this work, we show how this approach can be reapplied in the deep sub-micron domain when area-delay trade-o!s a...

Abstract Photoelectrochemical photocurrent switching (PEPS) effect can regulate the polarity of photocurrent, which has significant potential applications in areas such as logic gates, photosynapse, and artificial intelligence. In this work, it is reported for first time that a pure Ga 2 O 3 photoelectrochemical system exhibits ambipolar behavior induced by deep ultraviolet, closely linked to c...

Fluorescent, ultrabright, stable and cytocompatible flame-made Mn5+-doped Ba3(VO4)2–Bi2O3 nanoparticles are most suitable for near-IR-II bioimaging within 1 cm deep lying tissues outperforming commercial organic fluorophores quantum dots.

A simple and fast process for micro-electromechanical (MEM) resonators with deep sub-micron transduction gaps in thin SOI is presented in this paper. Thin SOI wafers are important for advanced CMOS technology and thus are evaluated as resonator substrates for future cointegration with CMOS circuitry on a single chip. As the transduction capacitance scales with the resonator thickness, it is imp...

Whilst snoring itself is usually not harmful to a person’s health, it can be an indication of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), a serious sleep-related disorder. As a result, studies into using snoring as acoustic based marker of OSA are gaining in popularity. Motivated by this, the INTERSPEECH 2017 ComParE Snoring sub-challenge requires classification from which areas in the upper airways differ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of IL-1 beta-induced *NO and PGE(2)release by stimulated superficial and deep chondrocyte/agarose constructs subjected to mechanical compression. DESIGN Chondrocyte sub-populations were seeded separately in agarose constructs and cultured unstrained, within a 24-well tissue culture plate, for 48 h in medium supplemented with IL-1 beta and/or L-N-(1-iminoethyl)-...

The growing demand for high density VLSI circuits and the exponential dependency of the leakage current on the oxide thickness is becoming a major challenge in deep-submicron CMOS technology. In this work, a novel Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) Cell is proposed targeting to reduce the overall power requirements, i.e., dynamic and standby power in the existing dual-bit-line architecture. The...
