Federated learning has emerged recently as a promising solution for distributing machine tasks through modern networks of mobile devices. Recent studies have obtained lower bounds on the expected decrease in model loss that is achieved each round federated learning. However, convergence generally requires large number communication rounds, which induces delay training and costly terms network r...

The rapid generation of diverse sets of complex molecules can be achieved by employing diversity oriented synthetic strategies in combination with so called complexity generating reactions. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) have been emerged as an extremely powerful tool in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery, since it offers significant advantages over conventional linear step syntheses, ...

Riemann’s theorems on the rearrangement of absolutely convergent and conditionally convergent series of real numbers are analysed within Bishop-style constructive mathematics. The constructive proof that every rearrangement of an absolutely convergent series has the same sum is relatively straightforward; but the proof that a conditionally convergent series can be rearranged to converge to what...

In this paper we extend the notion of convergent systems defined by B.P. Demidovich and introduce the notions of uniformly, exponentially convergent and input-to-state convergent systems. Basic (interconnection) properties of such systems are established. Sufficient conditions for input-to-state convergence are presented. For a class of nonlinear systems we design (output) feedback controllers ...

BACKGROUND Convergence extension movements are conserved tissue rearrangements implicated in multiple morphogenetic events. While many of the cell behaviors involved in convergent extension are known, the molecular interactions required for this process remain elusive. However, past evidence suggests that regulation of cell adhesion molecule function is a key step in the progression of these be...

The role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in influencing creative thinking has been investigated by many researchers who, while succeeding in proving an effective involvement of PFC, reported suggestive but sometimes conflicting results. In order to better understand the relationships between creative thinking and brain activation in a more specific area of the PFC, we explored the role of dorsolater...

INTRODUCTION Limited research has examined reasons for polytobacco use, an increasing public health problem, particularly among young adults. We examined reasons for polytobacco use among users of more than one tobacco product in the past 4 months enrolled in an ongoing six-wave longitudinal study of 3,418 students aged 18-25 from seven US colleges and universities. METHODS An expert panel ge...
