The recently proposed Minimal Complexity Machine (MCM) finds a hyperplane classifier by minimizing an exact bound on the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension. The VC dimension measures the capacity of a learning machine, and a smaller VC dimension leads to improved generalization. On many benchmark datasets, the MCM generalizes better than SVMs and uses far fewer support vectors than the number u...

We present a new technique for content based image retrieval using motif cooccurence matrix(MCM). MCM is derived using a motif transformed image. The whole image is divided into 2 2 pixel grids. Each grid is replaced with the scan motif which minimize the local gradient while traversing the 2 2 grid forming a motif transformed image. MCM is then de ned as a 3 dimensional matrix whose (i,j,k) en...

MCM: mucormycosis PAS: periodic acideSchiff INTRODUCTION Mucormycosis (MCM) is a fungal infection from members of the Mucorales order of fungi found almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients. The number of these infections seems to be increasing, presumably paralleling the increasing numbers of people with diminished immune surveillance. Primary cutaneous MCM in healthy patients is rare ...

This paper presents a new approach based on multicarrier modulation (MCM) with OFDM, to accomplish the goals of 4G. MCM [1] is a form of multicarrier system and a derivative of frequency-division multiplexing. MCM is a baseband process that uses parallel equal bandwidth sub channels to transmit information. Normally implemented with Fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques, MCM's advantages incl...

In this report, we describe three encodings of the multiple constant multiplication (MCM) problem to pseudo-boolean satisfiability (PBS), and introduce an algorithm to solve the MCM problem optimally. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed encodings and the optimization algorithm are the first formalization of the MCM problem in a PBS manner. This report evaluates the complexity of the prob...

In this paper a demonstrator oscillator circuit integrated in a MCM-D on glass technology is presented. The active device of the oscillator is a thin-film Ge (germanium) -based MHEMT. The MHEMT is embedded in the bottom dielectric layer of the MCM-D. The combination of passive MCM-D technology and MHEMTs on Ge allows for efficient semi-monolithic integration of active devices and realisation of...

INTRODUCTION Synovial macrophages, which can release proinflammatory factors, are responsible for the upregulation of cartilage-breakdown proteases and play critical roles in cartilage degradation during the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). In addition, shear stress exerts multifunctional effects on chondrocytes by inducing the synthesis of catabolic or anabolic genes. However, the interplay...

chemical vapor deposition was employed to synthesize carbon nanotubes with ni-loaded mcm-41 and mcm-48 as catalysts and acetylene as precursor at 750°c. mesoporous ni mcm-41 and ni mcm-48 molecular sieves were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and were characterized by xrd and n2 adsorption isotherm. the catalytically synthesized carbon materials were characterized with raman spectroscopy, n...
