This work presents Unified Contrastive Arbitrary Style Transfer (UCAST), a novel style representation learning and transfer framework, that can fit in most existing arbitrary image models, such as CNN-based, ViT-based, flow-based methods. As the key component tasks, suitable is essential to achieve satisfactory results. Existing approaches based on deep neural networks typically use second-orde...

With a specific and strong molecular-recognition capability cultivated in humoral acquired immunity, an antibody has been extensively utilized in various applications, such as diagnostics and therapy. However, so far most of its uses have been limited to be in the liquid phase. In view of its potential uses, such as a gas-phase biosensor or a high-performance air filter, we have tried to verify...

The main drawback of minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer is the cancellation of the desired speech signal and its degradation in multi-path wave propagation environment. To make the adaptive algorithm robust against room reverberation and to prevent desired signal cancellation an estimation of unknown desired speaker's transfer function was proposed. The estimation is bas...

This paper addresses the data transfer scheduling problem for Grid environments, presenting a centralized scheduler developed with dynamic and adaptive features. The algorithm offers a reservation system for user transfer requests that allocates them transfer times and bandwidth, according to the network topology and the constraints the user specified for the requests. This paper presents the p...

This paper addresses the problem of rate control for Available Bit Rate (ABR) service class in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. An adaptive neurofuzzy mechanism based on Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for allocating rates in ABR service has been proposed and compared with the fuzzy technique called as Fuzzy Explicit Rate Marking (FERM). To achieve this, a neurofuzzy A...

In this paper, we propose the Neighbor-state Based Queuing (NBQ) for improving the performance of ows sharing link bandwidth under various transfer protocols. Each router with NBQ informs the next upstream router of its link status. According to the received status, NBQ dynamically sets the packet discard ratio of the non-adaptive ows. NBQ reduces the wasted nonadaptive ows and provides availab...

This paper presents a new method of synthesizing an output feedback adaptive controller for a class of uncertain, non-square, multi-input multi-output systems that often occur in hypersonic vehicle models. The main challenge that needs to be addressed is the determination of a corresponding square and strictly positive real transfer function. This paper proposes a new procedure to synthesize tw...
