We link the reverse KL divergence with adversarial learning. This insight enables learning to synthesize realistic samples in two settings: (i) Given a set of samples from the true distribution, an adversarially learned likelihood-ratio and a new entropy bound are used to learn a GAN model, that improves synthesized sample quality relative to previous GAN variants. (ii) Given an unnormalized di...

BACKGROUND Multiple micronutrients (MMN) are commonly prescribed in pediatric primary healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa to improve nutritional status and appetite without evidence for their effectiveness or international clinical guidelines. Community-wide MMN supplementation has shown limited and heterogeneous impact on growth and morbidity. Short-term ready-to-use therapeutic foods in acutely ...

Recently, lecithin-derived phosphatidylserine (PS), which originates from marine life, has received much attention as a viable alternative to bovine cerebral cortex PS. In this study, the use of squid phosphatidylcholine-transphosphatidylated PS (SQ-PS) was evaluated through examination of its ameliorating effects on age-associated learning and memory deficits in rats. Aged rats were orally adm...

The external quantum efficiency (EQE), also known as incident-photon-to-collected-electron spectra are typically used to access the energy dependent photocurrent losses for photovoltaic devices. integral over EQE spectrum results in theoretical short-circuit current under a given incident illumination spectrum. Additionally, one can estimate bandgap (Eg) from inflection point absorption thresho...

Two squaraine (SQ) donor molecules with different absorption bands are blended together for better coverage of the solar spectrum. The blend SQ device shows a significant improvement compared with single SQ donor devices. By applying a solvent annealing process and a compound buffer layer, a power-conversion efficiency of 5.9 ± 0.3% is achieved under 1 sun illumination.

This paper presents a new method for 3D object localization from a single image. It is known that single camera provide 2D image data, annihilating valuable 3D information about object and its localization in space. The main new idea is to match 2D image gradient to the reprojection of 3D curvature to retrieve objects position relative to the camera. The object parameters are a-priori known and...

We consider the problem of routing customers to one of two parallel queues. Arrivals are independent of the state of the system but otherwise arbitrary. Assuming that queues have in-nite capacities and the service times form a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with Increasing Likelihood Ratio (ILR) distribution, we prove that the Shortest Queue (SQ) policy minimizes various cost functionals r...

7-con-O-Methylnogarol (7-OMEN), a new analog of the an thracycline antibiotic, nogalamycin, has chemotherapeutic ac tivity in several experimental mouse tumor systems. As part of the preclinical development of 7-OMEN, the cardiotoxic poten tial was evaluated in chronically dosed rabbits. Groups of 4 rabbits were dosed twice weekly i.v. with 11 or 33 mg/sq m/ week for 12 weeks, 110 sq m/mg/week ...

Abstract A store queue (SQ) is a critical component of the load execution machinery. High ILP processors require high load execution bandwidth, but providing high bandwidth SQ access is difficult. Address banking, which works well for caches, conflicts with age-ordering which is required for the SQ and multi-porting exacerbates the latency of the associative searches that load execution require...
