We show a reduction from explicit two-source extractors with small error and arbitrarily small constant entropy rate to the existence of explicit t-non-malleable extractors with a small seed length. Previously, such a reduction was known either when one source had entropy rate above half [Raz05] or for general entropy rates but only for large error [CZ16]. As in previous reductions we start wit...

The angular error of indexing table on machine tool is measured using new developed measuring device. The measuring techniques, which have been reviewed in this paper, are currently available in manufacturing engineering to calibrate the angle measurement. The new developed measuring device using 6 points kinematic concept and employing ball and vee grooves is used to calibrate angle errors of ...

Emotion is considered to be an important factor in human decision making and consciousness. Due to its perceived importance, recently a number of works try to explore emotion in IR tasks. However, the complexity of emotion extractors and lack of understanding on their effectiveness hinder the progress of such works. In this paper, we conduct a comparative study on the effectiveness of three emo...

This paper presents and evaluates two linear feature extractors based on mutual information. These feature extractors consider general dependencies between features and class labels, as opposed to well known linear methods such as PCA which does not consider class labels and LDA, which uses only simple low order dependencies. As evidenced by several simulations on high dimensional data sets, th...

BACKGROUND Depression with psychomotor agitation (PMA; "agitated depression") is a putative psychiatric phenotype that appears to associate with some forms of substance dependence. However, it is unclear whether such relationships extend across different substances and independent (I-MDE) versus substance-induced (SI-MDE) subtypes of major depressive episodes. METHOD We examined whether lifet...
