Batch normalization is currently the most widely used variant of internal for deep neural networks. Additional work has shown that weights and additional conditioning as well gradients further improve generalization. In this work, we combine several these methods thereby increase generalization The advantage newer compared to batch not only increased generalization, but also have be applied dur...

The creation of unwrapped stitched images pipework internal surfaces is being increasingly used to augment routine visual inspection. A significant challenge the these need estimate pose and position camera for each frame, which often alleviated through use a mechanical centralizer ensure held in center pipe. This article proposes novel method image centralization estimation, particularly benef...

This paper revisits the fiscal "decentralization theorem", by relaxing the role of the assumption that governments are benevolent, while retaining the assumption of policy uniformity. If instead, decisions are made by direct majority voting, (i) centralization can welfare-dominate decentralization even if there are no externalities and regions are heterogenous; (ii) decentralization can welfare...

Histogram-based template matching is an important method to search the globe optimization exhaustively. However, this method is commonly algorithmic complex. In this paper, we propose to replace the traditional histogram-based method with equivalent histogram-based method, which distinctly improves the matching efficiency. We first introduce the equivalent histogram on the basis of the relative...

I study two regions that are negotiating an agreement to internalize externalities. Local preferences are local information, but reluctance is, in equilibrium, signaled by delay. Conditions are derived for when it is efficient to restrict the attention to policies that are uniform across regions with and without side payments and when it is efficient to prohibit side payments in the negotiation...

An organization will often use a specialized technical language that is understood by its members but not by others. We develop a theory of optimal organizational languages and identify a key trade-o¤ between facilitating internal communication and encouraging communication with other organizations. “Dialects”are suboptimal: two organizations will either share the same language or develop two e...

We would like to make the following corrections of our paper (Int J Biol Sci 2009; 5:647-658) . On Page 649, the sentence “Mckenzie in 1981 first described the centralization phenomenon, which consists of pain in the central line of the spine upon lateral movement” should be replaced by “McKenzie in 1981 first defined the centralization phenomenon as a rapid change in the location of pain from ...

This paper discusses the fundamental hypothesis of policy uniformity under centralized decision making underlying Oates’ famous decentralization theorem. The theorem has come under pressure by the prediction that local public goods are provided to minimum winning coalitions rather than uniformly. The focus of this paper is on the impact of uniformity rules on political accountability. Using the...
