Image mining deals with the extraction of image patterns from a large collection of images. Clearly, image mining is different from low-level computer vision and image processing techniques because the focus of image mining is in extraction of patterns from large collection of images, whereas the focus of computer vision and image processing techniques is in understanding and / or extracting sp...

The 3x+1 problem is one of the most classical problems in computer science, related to many fields. As it is thought by scientists a highly hard problem, resolving it successfully not only can improve the research in many relating fields, but also be meaningful to the method study. By deep analyzing the 3x+1 calculation process with the input positive integer becoming greater, we find a useful ...

There exist certain intrinsic relations between the ultraviolet divergent graphs and the convergent ones at the same loop order in renormalizable quantum field theories. Whereupon we may establish a new method, the intrinsic regularization method, to regularize those divergent graphs. In this paper, we apply this method to QCD at the one loop order. It turns out to be satisfactory: The gauge in...

1.1 Simple derivation of GBLUP Models for genomic selection are abundant. However, most of them rely (yet not all; [1] ) in a hierarchical formulation in which SNP markers (or haplotypes) have additive effect on the trait of interest [2]. We will focus here in models including biallelic SNP markers. Thus, n markers will have n effects, a1 ... an. Although markers have 2 alleles, a single effect...

We present an algorithm which solves a convex program with faithfully convex (not necessarily differentiable) constraints. While finding a feasible starting point, the algorithm reduces the program to an equivalent program for which Slater's condition is satisfied. Included are algorithms for calculating various objects which have recently appeared in the literature. Stability of the algorithm ...

12 In a single-electrode current clamp recording, the measured potential includes both the 13 response of the membrane and that of the measuring electrode. The electrode response is 14 traditionally removed using bridge balance, where the response of an ideal resistor representing 15 the electrode is subtracted from the measurement. Because the electrode is not an ideal resistor, 16 this proced...
