Connectionist models usually have a single weight on each connection. Some interesting new properties emerge if each connection has two weights: A slowly changing, plastic weight which stores long-term knowledge and a fast-changing, elastic weight which stores temporary knowledge and spontaneously decays towards zero. If a network learns a set of associations and then these associations are "bl...

Using the fast measurement of a binary transmission matrix and a digital micromirror device, we demonstrate high-speed interferometric focusing through highly dynamic scattering media with binary intensity modulation. The scanning of speckles for reference optimization gives stable focusing, which can be used for focusing through a fast changing media or two dimensional scanning through a slowl...

This paper aims to explain how aggressive the Turkish movement is under Erdogan's leadership and domination of ambitious AKP in an effort restore glory Islam spread its spirit struggle on soil amidst secularism that has deeply rooted itself dominate every aspect life there. The synergy between two slowly led rivalries authoritarian democratic nationalism with a touch moderate Islamic nuances Ne...

Several ways of improving the realism of the results of traditional ray tracing are presented. The essential physical quantities of spectral radiant power and spectral radiance and their use in lighting calculations are discussed. Global illwnination terms are derived by employing illwnination ray tracing for calculation of quickly changing indirect lighting components, and radiosity ray tracin...

We shall denote the set of all regularly varying functions by R. We shall also denote by L the set of slowly slowly varying (or slowly oscillating) functions, namely those functions in R for which the index ρ = 0. It is easy to show that if h ∈ R, then there exists L ∈ L such that h(x) = xL(x), with ρ being the index of h. Slowly varying functions arise naturally in many branches of number theo...

In this paper, I argue that we should not only orient ourselves to the future by looking forward to the yet unrealized. When researching the future, we should also develop a sensibility to the durability of our past and present creations, and understand how they impact the scope for future innovations. The common emphasis on the visionary and novel components of innovation needs to be complemen...

The essential physical quantities of spectral radiant power and spectral radiance and their use in lighting calculations are discussed. Global illumination terms are derived by employing illumination ray tracing for calculation of quickly changing indirect lighting components, and ra-diosity ray traci...
