Deep neural networks (DNNs) are quantized for efficient inference on resource-constrained platforms. However, training deep learning models with low-precision weights and activations involves a demanding optimization task, which calls minimizing stage-wise loss function subject to discrete set-constraint. While numerous methods have been proposed, existing studies full quantization of DNNs most...

The Isogeometric Analysis (IA) is utilized for structural topology optimization  considering minimization of weight and local stress constraints. For this purpose, material density of the structure  is  assumed  as  a  continuous  function  throughout  the  design  domain  and approximated using the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions. Control points of the density surface are...

For SASE-FELs the total undulator length increases with decreasing wavelength. In the X-ray wavelength range, the optimum -function is of the order of 40 m, which makes a separate focusing structure the best choice. In principle, three periodic focusing structures can be considered, namely a singlet (FODO), doublet or a triplet structure. In this report, the three different types of focusing fo...

in this study, aluminium2024- graphite composites containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent of graphite were produced by solid assisted melt disintegration (samd) technique which resulted in production of al/gr powder mixtures which subsequently consolidated and sintered for preparation of al/gr composites. in this technique, powder mixture was prepared by addition of flake graphite (mean diam...

background nucleus(t)ide analogs (nas), containing lamivudine (lmv), adefovir dipivoxil (adv), endeavor (etv), telbivudine (ldt), and tenofovir (tdf) are widely used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis b (chb), but long term anti-hepatitis b virus (hbv) therapy with nas may give rise to the emergence of drug-resistant viral mutants. objectives this study aimed to find and identify some new r...

Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) is a potent and natural antioxidant. Vitamin E is concentrated from soybean oil. The Committee on Fetus and Newborn of the Academy of the American of Pediatrics endorsed 1 to 2 mg/dl as the normal range of serum tocopherol level. Human infants are born with low stores of vitamin E, thus they require an adequate intake of vitamin E soon after birth. The optimum intra...

The present study was conducted to determine the best feeding rates expressed as percent of body weight in Persian sturgeon fingerlings at different body weights. Eighteen fiberglass tanks each holding 30 fingerlings with an average initial body weight of 19.45 ± 0.5 g were used in this experiment. Six different feeding trials (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 percent of body weight) were employed and each ...
