AbstractPooling methods are necessities for modern neural networks increasing receptive fields and lowering down computational costs. However, commonly used hand-crafted pooling approaches, e.g., max average pooling, may not well preserve discriminative features. While many researchers have elaborately designed various variants in spatial domain to handle these limitations with much progress, t...

A simple SPICE macro model has been created for ESD MOS modeling. The model consists of standard components only, mainly a MOS transistor modeled by BSIM3v3, a bipolar transistor modeled by VBIC, and a resistor for substrate resistance. It offers advantages of convenience in CAD implementation, high simulation speed, wider availability, and less convergence issues. The modeling approach has bee...

Emerging applications such as forest fire monitoring have increasing demands on WSN to transmit data in real-time. In order to ensure real-time data transmission, it requires that the operating system of a node should schedule tasks in real-time. TinyOS is one of the most popular operation systems that support multifarious applications. However, its FIFO scheduling strategy does not guarantee r...

Regarding the possible multiple functions of a specific gene, finding the alternative roles of genes is a major challenge. Huge amount of available expression data and the central role of the promoter and its regulatory elements provide unique opportunely to address this issue. The question is that how the expression data and promoter analysis can be applied to uncover the different functions o...

A numerical method solving for the diffraction potential on hull is coupled with a boundary element (BEM) to evaluate propeller-induced pressures. The BEM first implemented hydrodynamic analysis of non-cavitating/cavitating propellers in absence hull, and predicted solutions are taken as known unbounded potentials pressure calculations. tip loaded propeller (TLP) adopted model mounted under fla...

The transmission line pulse method (TLP) is used to characterise the reliability of bolometric GaAs microwave power-sensors. Two degradation mechanisms are identified during the degradation process of the absorbing NiCr termination, in which the input power is converted into heat. Simulations and a material analysis have been performed in order to characterise the observed degradation mechanisms.
