We present a novel semi-supervised classifier model based on paths between unlabeled and labeled data through a sequence of local pattern transformations. A reliable measure of path-length is proposed that combines a local dissimilarity measure between consecutive patters along a path with a global, connectivity-based metric. We apply this model to problems of object recognition, for which we p...

The synthesis these past few years of novel organic molecules that spontaneously 9 self-assemble into a large variety of molecular architecture, particularly generating organogels, has 10 opened up new horizons for preparing functional materials. Here, we present an original 11 preparation path of such materials through the making of hybrid gels of these molecules together 12 with covalent poly...

What qualities lead some Internet videos to reach millions of viewers while others languish in obscurity? This question has been largely unexamined empirically. We addressed this issue by examining the role of emotional response and video source on the likelihood of spreading an Internet video by validating the emotional response to an Internet video and investigating the underlying mechanisms....

We give a Clifford+T representation of the Toffoli gate of T -depth 1, using four ancillas. More generally, we describe a class of circuits whose T -depth can be reduced to 1 by using sufficiently many ancillas. We show that the cost of adding an additional control to any controlled gate is at most 8 additional T -gates, and T -depth 2. We also show that the circuit THT does not possess a T -de...

This paper reviews the major adhesives and processes used for 3D TSV thin wafer handling, provides thermal and other performance data on the materials and processes and attempts to establish a first order estimate of process related thermal performance using a common analytical method.

in this study, we investigate the further properties of quasi irresolute topological groupsdened in [20]. we show that if a group homomorphism f between quasi irresolute topologicalgroups is irresolute at eg, then f is irresolute on g. later we prove that in a semi-connectedquasi irresolute topological group (g; ; ), if v is any symmetric semi-open neighborhood ofeg, then g is generated by v...
