In this paper, we investigate the capabilities of Local Feedback Multi-Layered Networks, a particular class of recurrent networks, in which feedback connections are only allowed from neurons to themselves. In this class, learning can be accomplished by an algorithm which is local in both space and time. We describe the limits and properties of these networks and give some insights on their use ...

The structure of glucose dehydrogenase from the extreme halophile Haloferax mediterranei has been solved at 1.6-A resolution under crystallization conditions which closely mimic the "in vivo" intracellular environment. The decoration of the enzyme's surface with acidic residues is only partially neutralized by bound potassium counterions, which also appear to play a role in substrate binding. T...

Multilayered thin films prepared with the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique are typically "brittle" composites, while many applications such as flexible electronics or biomedical devices would greatly benefit from ductile, and tough nanostructured coatings. Here we present the preparation of highly ductile multilayered films via LBL assembly of oppositely charged polyurethanes. Free-stand...

Co/Cu multilayered nanowires were electrochemically fabricated using a pulsed current deposition technique into a nanochannel template. Time-dependence of deposition current was monitored to determine the growth rate of Co and Cu nanowires. Co layer and Cu layer thicknesses were adjusted to several tens nanometers, by controlling the deposition times. With decreasing the each layer thickness, t...

A compact representation is given of the electricand magnetic-type dyadic Green’s functions for plane-stratified, multilayered, uniaxial media based on the transmission-line network analog along the axis normal to the stratification. Furthermore, mixed-potential integral equations are derived within the framework of this transmission-line formalism for arbitrarily shaped, conducting or penetrab...

We present a framework to apply Volterra series to analyze multilayered perceptrons trained to estimate the posterior probabilities of phonemes in automatic speech recognition. The identified Volterra kernels reveal the spectro-temporal patterns that are learned by the trained system for each phoneme. To demonstrate the applicability of Volterra series, we analyze a multilayered perceptron trai...

We demonstrate the generation of systemically releasable anti-cancer drugs from multilayer nanofilms. Nanofilms designed to drug release profiles in programmable fashion are promising new and alternative way for drug delivery. For the nanofilm structure, we synthesized various unique 3-dimensional anti cancer drug incorporated DNA origami structures (hairpin, Y, and X shaped) and assembled with...

This work demonstrates a high‐performance in‐cell polarizer adopting photo‐aligned azobenzene dyes. On the strength of multilayered design, simple fabrication process has been developed to assemble an polarizer. We have achieved broadband dichroic ratio after long‐term stability test. Meanwhile, cell with proposed can be driven regularly without voltage boost, which renders excellent practicabi...

We propose a wound recovery synthesis model that illustrates the appearance of a wound healing on a 3-dimensional (3D) face. The H3 model is used to determine the size of the recovering wound. Furthermore, we present our subsurface scattering model that is designed to take the multilayered skin structure of the wound into consideration to represent its color transformation. We also propose a no...
