Sturmian words are infinite binary words with many equivalent definitions: They have a minimal factor complexity among all aperiodic sequences; they are balanced sequences (the labels 0 and 1 are as evenly distributed as possible) and they can be constructed using a mechanical definition. All this properties make them good candidates for being extremal points in scheduling problems over two pro...

A tiling of a planar shape is called monohedral if all tiles are congruent to each other. We will investigate the possibility of producing monohedral tilings of the disk. Such tilings are produced on a daily basis by pizza chefs by taking radial cuts distributed evenly around the centre of the pizza. After constructing this tiling, a neighbourhood of the origin has non-trivial intersection with...

In March 2001 we started to collect the CMU Motion of Body (MoBo) database. To date the database contains 25 individuals walking on a treadmill in the CMU 3D room. The subjects perform four different walk patterns: slow walk, fast walk, incline walk and walking with a ball. All subjects are captured using six high resolution color cameras distributed evenly around the treadmill. In this technic...

Radically complex: The photolytic reaction of [Cp*P{W(CO)(5)}(2)] (Cp* = C(5)Me(5)) with a diphosphene produces, via a radical intermediate, an air-stable complexed triphosphaallyl radical, in which the unpaired electron is evenly distributed over both terminal P atoms. Oxidation of the radical leads to a triphosphaallyl cation, which is only stable at low temperatures in solution, whereas the ...

Acupunct Med Month 2017 Vol 0 No 0 Figure 1 Shear wave elastography of the gastrocnemius muscle in a longitudinal plane. Rectangular field of view demonstrating good quality shear-wave elastogram as indicated by homogeneously distributed blue colour-coded muscle (A) and evenly spaced propagation waves (B). Quantitative analysis of gastrocnemius muscle stiffness was achieved by placing the small...

From Figure A, protein bands on SurePAGE were more evenly distributed compared to competitor B’s Tris-Glycine gel, in which proteins in the middle parts of the gel were clustered. In addition, more bands were visualized on SurePAGE compared to both competitor B and homemade Tris-Glycine gels (zoomed panel). Lastly, SurePAGE offers slightly better resolution compared to Competitor T’s Bis-Tris g...

This article introduces the concept of optimally distributed computation in feedforward neural networks via regularization of weight saliency. By constraining the relative importance of the parameters, computation can be distributed thinly and evenly throughout the network. We propose that this will have beneficial effects on fault-tolerance performance and generalization ability in large netwo...
