This work addresses the problem of regularized linear least squares (RLS) with non-quadratic separable regularization. Despite being frequently deployed in many applications, the RLS problem is often hard to solve using standard iterative methods. In a recent work [10], a new iterative method called Parallel Coordinate Descent (PCD) was devised. We provide herein a convergence analysis of the P...

Collective action raises both conceptual and descriptive questions. The conceptual question concerns when we should count a set of actions performed by individuals as a unified ‘collective action’. For example, when a group of passengers aboard a broken bus spontaneously exit the bus and push it off the railroad tracks, we would call this event an instance of ‘collective action’ – we would say ...

The theoretical framework of the present modeling pipeline follows the methodology introduced in our former analysis study of the Vα/Vβ association angles in TCR complexes [1]. In that former analysis, the structure with the PDB-ID 2bnu was used as an arbitrary reference to superimpose all TCR structures in the data set on the Vα domain and thus the 2bnu coordinate system is further used as ref...

In order to obtain a unified approach for the FiniteDifference Time-Domain (FDTD) analysis of dispersive media described by a variety of models, the coordinate stretched Maxwell’s curl equation in time domain is firstly deduced. Then the FDTD update formulas combined with the semi-analytical recursive convolution (SARC) in Digital Signal Process (DSP) technique for general dispersive media are ...

Successful change detection in multi-temporal images relies on high spatial co-registration accuracy. However, co-registration accuracy alone cannot meet the needs of change detection when using several ground control points to separately geo-reference multi-temporal images from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This letter reports on a new approach to perform bundle adjustment—named united bund...

Under appropriate conditions, the dynamics of a control system governed by ordinary differential equations can be formulated several ways: differential inclusion, control parameterization, flatness parameterization, higher-order inclusions and so on. A plethora of techniques have been proposed for each of these formulations but they are typically not portable across equivalent mathematical form...

Sports athletes easily get joint damage due to the high intensity of physical training and exertion. The treatment of joint injury caused by physical exercise is very important for competitive sports. Joint composition structure is complex and the knee joint is considered as an example in the full text and the application of CT imaging technology in the diagnosis and treatment of knee joint was...

We introduce a two-dimensional (2D) multisurface reaction free energy description of the catalytic cycle that explicitly connects the recently observed multi-time-scale conformational dynamics as well as dispersed enzymatic kinetics to the classical Michaelis-Menten equation. A slow conformational motion on a collective enzyme coordinate Q facilitates the catalytic reaction along the intrinsic ...

We discuss cosmological solutions of Hořava-Witten theory describing the strongly coupled heterotic string. At energies below the grand-unified scale, the effective theory is five, not four, dimensional, where the additional coordinate parametrizes an S/Z2 orbifold. Furthermore, it admits no homogeneous solutions. Rather, the static vacuum state, appropriate for a reduction to four-dimensional ...

Internal coordinate molecular dynamics (ICMD) is an efficient method for studying biopolymers, but it is readily applicable only to molecules with tree topologies, that is with no internal flexible rings. Common examples violating this condition are prolines and loops closed by S-S bridges in proteins. The most important such case, however, is nucleic acids because the flexibility of the furano...
