As an edge intelligence algorithm for multi-device collaborative training, federated learning (FL) can protect data privacy but increase the computing load of wireless devices. In contrast, split (SL) reduce devices by model splitting and assignment. To take advantage FL SL, we propose a hybrid (HFSL) framework networks in this paper, which combines multi-worker training flexible SL. computatio...

Mammals native to high altitude (HA) exhibit larger lung volumes than their lowland counterparts. To test the hypothesis that adaptation induced by HA residence during somatic maturation improves pulmonary gas exchange in adulthood, male foxhounds born at sea level (SL) were raised at HA (3,800 m) from 2.5 to 7.5 mo of age and then returned to SL prior to somatic maturity while their littermate...

MOTIVATION There is growing momentum to develop statistical learning (SL) methods as an alternative to conventional genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Methods such as random forests (RF) and gradient boosting machine (GBM) result in variable importance measures that indicate how well each single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) predicts the phenotype. For RF, it has been shown that variable i...

We have analyzed the physical origins of the temperature gradient of the ordinary refractive index ( dn(o) /dT) of liquid crystals. To achieve a large dn(o) /dT , high birefringence and low clearing temperature play crucial roles. Based on these simple guidelines, we formulated two exemplary liquid crystal mixtures, designated as UCF-1 and UCF-2, and compared their physical properties with a co...

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

OBJECTIVE To study the outcomes of broncho ± angioplastic sleeve lobectomy (SL) versus pneumonectomy (PN), and the PN:SL ratio after an aggressive policy of parenchyma-sparing surgery to improve postoperative complications rate and long-term quality of life (QoL). METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 490 patients with non-small cell lung cancer between 2005 and 2009. All patients not ...

The temperature dependence of quantum Hall conductivities is studied in the context AdS/CMT paradigm using a model with bulk theory consisting (3+1)-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell action coupled to dilaton and an axion, negative cosmological constant. We consider solution which has Lifshitz like geometry dyonic black-brane bulk. There $Sl(2,R)$ corresponding electromagnetic duality, maps between ...

Abstract Lithium niobate Mach–Zehnder modulators (MZMs) with compact footprint and fast electro-optics (EO) responses are highly demanded for the next-generation optical interconnect systems. Here, we demonstrate slow-light (SL) effect using a coupled Bragg resonator structure on thin-film lithium (TFLN) platform, an ultra-compact SL-MZM length L of ∼370 μm is also constructed. The fabricated S...
