The global localization methods deal with the estimation of the pose of a mobile robot assuming no prior state information about the pose and a complete a priori knowledge of the environment where the mobile robot is going to be localized. Most existing algorithms are based on the minimization of an L2-norm loss function. In spite of the extended use of the L2-norm, the use of the L1-norm offer...

This paper discusses an adaptive non-linear transform for image sequences that aims to generate a l1-norm preserving sparse approximation for efficient coding. Most sparse approximation problems employ a linear model where images are represented by a basis and a sparse set of coefficients. In this work, however, we consider image sequences where linear measurements are of limited use due to mot...

The synthesis of a new linear bis-tetraamine ligand L1, based on two 1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane units grafted at the 2 and 6 positions of a pyridinyl linker substituted by an anthracenyl fluorophore in the para position, is described and anion complexation studies of L1 with anionic substrates are reported. The protonation pattern and the study of the binding properties of L1 in an aqueous mediu...

Crammer and Singer's method is one of the most popular multiclass support vector machines (SVMs). It considers L1 loss (hinge loss) in a complicated optimization problem. In SVM, squared hinge loss (L2 loss) is a common alternative to L1 loss, but surprisingly we have not seen any paper studying the details of Crammer and Singer's method using L2 loss. In this letter, we conduct a thorough inve...

Sparsity-promoting L1-regularization has recently been succesfully used to learn the structure of undirected graphical models. In this paper, we apply this technique to learn the structure of directed graphical models. Specifically, we make three contributions. First, we show how the decomposability of the MDL score, plus the ability to quickly compute entire regularization paths, allows us to ...

Targeted and immune-based therapies have improved outcomes in advanced kidney cancer, yet novel strategies are needed to extend the duration of these benefits and expand them to more patients. Combined inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathways with therapeutic agents already in clinical use may offer such...

let $mathcal{a}$ be a banach algebra with bai and $e$ be an introverted subspace of $mathcal{a'}$.in this paper we study the quotient arens regularity of $mathcal{a}$ with respect to $e$ and prove that the group algebra $l^1(g)$ for a locally compact group $g$, is quotient arens regular with respect to certain introverted subspace $e$ of $l^infty(g)$.some related result are given as well.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors highlight the importance of anticancer immunity. However, their clinical utility and safety are limited by low response rates adverse effects. We focused on progesterone (P4), a hormone produced placenta during pregnancy, because it has multiple biological activities related to immune regulation P4 reversible regulatory function distinct from that stress cortisol, w...
