Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) is an objective, quantitative technique for coordinate-based meta-analysis (CBMA) of neuroimaging results that has been validated for a variety of uses. Stepwise modifications have improved ALE's theoretical and statistical rigor since its introduction. Here, we evaluate two avenues to further optimize ALE. First, we demonstrate that the maximum contributi...

Abstract—The Adaptive Line Enhancer (ALE) is widely used for enhancing narrowband signals corrupted by broadband noise. In this paper, we propose novel ALE methods to improve the enhancing capability. The proposed methods are motivated by the fact that the output of the ALE is a fine estimate of the desired narrowband signal with the broadband noise component suppressed. The proposed methods pr...

This paper evaluates the comparative performance of adaptive and conventional square law detectors for inputs consisting of finite bandwidth signals in white Gaussian noise. The comparative perfOrmance of two distinct ALE augmented detector implementations will be provided. Performance is determined on the basis of ROC curves for a range of signal bandwidths, ALE bulk delays, ALE time constants...

ALE is a new authenticated encryption algorithm published at FSE 2013. The authentication component of ALE is based on the strong Pelican MAC, and the authentication security of ALE is claimed to be 128-bit. In this paper, we propose the leaked-state-forgery attack (LSFA) against ALE by exploiting the state information leaked from the encryption of ALE. The LSFA is a new type of differential cr...

We consider type IIA compactification on K3. We show that the instanton subsectors of the worldvolume of N 4-branes wrapped around K3 lead to a Hagedorn density of BPS states in accord with heterotic-type IIA duality in 6 dimensions. We also find evidence that the correct framework to understand the results of Nakajima on the appearance of affine Kac-Moody algebras on the cohomology of moduli s...

In Sri Lankan traditional medicine, the decoction of leaves of the plant Pongamia pinnata (L.) is claimed to possess antinociceptive activity. However, as yet, its antinociceptive potential has not been scientifically investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the antinociceptive potential of an aqueous leaf extraction (ALE) of P. pinnata in rats, using three algesiometric methods (...

Maltose and maltotriose are the major sugars in brewer's wort. Brewer's yeasts contain multiple genes for maltose transporters. It is not known which of these express functional transporters. We correlated maltose transport kinetics with the genotypes of some ale and lager yeasts. Maltose transport by two ale strains was strongly inhibited by other alpha-glucosides, suggesting the use of broad ...

In this extended abstract we introduce the Arcade Learning Environment (ALE): both a challenge problem and a platform and methodology for evaluating the development of general, domainindependent AI technology. ALE provides an interface to hundreds of Atari 2600 game environments, each one different, interesting, and designed to be a challenge for human players. ALE presents significant research...
