The reverse or adjoint mode of Automatic Diierentiation is a software engineering technique that permits eecient computation of gradients. However, this technique requires a lot of temporary memory storage. In this paper, we present iteration-wise adjoining, a reenement that reduces memory consumption in the case of parallel loops, and we give a proof of its correctness, based on properties of ...

A coherence-oriented run-processing method and its hardware architecture is proposed for multiple widely-used techniques in video object segmentation algorithms including connected component labeling, binary morphology, seeded region growing and bitwise operations of binary masks. Experimented result shows that this run-domain processing method allows significant computation acceleration, memor...

Previous algorithms for supervised sequence learning are based on dynamic recurrent networks. This paper describes alternative gradient-based systems consisting of two feed-forward nets which learn to deal with temporal sequences by using fast weights: The rst net learns to produce context dependent weight changes for the second net whose weights may vary very quickly. The method o ers a potent...

It is proposed that the kinetic energy of a pigeon's wing, in hovering or slow forward flight, is transferred to the air at the end of the downstroke by a mechanism involving temporary storage of additional energy in bent primary feather shafts. Estimates of the amounts of energy which can be stored and recovered in this way are compared with the requirements of the theory. The hypothesis is no...

rivers are one of the major resources of drinking and agriculture water, so accurate control and modeling of their water quality is essential for protection of human health and environment stability. transient storage zones have a great effect on contaminant transport, especially in small mountain streams. the main effects include temporary detainment of solute and decrease its concentration in...

Afetlerin ne zaman ve nerede meydana geleceği belli değildir. Bundan dolayı hem toplumsal yaşam kesintiye uğramakta de çevreye zarar vermektedir. Ayrıca, afet sonrası insanların yiyecek, barınma, temizlik gibi ihtiyaçları hızlı düzenli bir şekilde karşılanmalıdır. Deprem büyük zararlara neden olan birçok yeri kullanılmaz hale getiren afetlerde ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilmek için geçici deponun k...

Abstract One of the problems that arise due to typhoon and flooding is generation large volumes disaster wastes, which poses threats environment human health when not managed properly. This study focused on identification suitable locations temporary storage sites (TSS) for wastes using geographic information system address gaps in waste management. A set criteria selection was established base...

Although studies of biogeochemical processes in polar sea ice have been increasing, similar research on relatively warm low-salinity remains sparse. In this study, we investigated properties the landfast cover brackish Bothnian Bay (Northern Baltic Sea) and possible role mediating exchange greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) across water column–s...

background: the aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the characteristics of patients, treated by acute peritoneal dialysis (pd). we also assessed the indications for pd, pd-associated complications and neonatal outcomes in our patients. methods: during five years, 30 term newborns underwent temporary cycling pd. the procedure was performed by applying the manual technique. a straight a...
