A version of the law of small numbers is analyzed in information-theoretic terms. Specifically, let f = {fi, i = 0, 1, . . .} be a probability mass function (pmf) on nonnegative integers with mean λ < ∞. Denote the nth convolution of f by f and denote the α-thinning of f by Tα(f). Then, as n → ∞, the entropy H(T1/n(f )) tends to H(po(λ)), where po(λ) denotes the pmf of the Poisson distribution ...

The reactions of the hydrated Group 13 fluorides, MF3·3H2O (M = Al, Ga or In) with 2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl, 2,2'-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline under hydrothermal conditions (180 °C/15 h) produced high yields of the complexes [MF3(terpy)]·3H2O, [MF3(bipy)(OH2)]·2H2O and [MF3(phen)(OH2)]. X-Ray crystal structures of [M'F3(terpy)]·3H2O (M' = Al or Ga), [M'F3(bipy)(OH2)]·2H2O and [GaF3(phen)(OH2)...

For a fixed collection of graphs F , the F-M-Deletion problem consists in, given a graph G and an integer k, decide whether there exists S ⊆ V (G) with |S| ≤ k such that G \ S does not contain any of the graphs in F as a minor. We are interested in the parameterized complexity of F-M-Deletion when the parameter is the treewidth of G, denoted by tw. Our objective is to determine, for a fixed F ,...

F(ab')2 fragments are sometimes preferred to whole IgG for therapeutic or diagnostic uses. Preclinical pharmaceutical development studies are necessary before their use in humans. Here we propose an allometric approach among three mammalian species to predict F(ab')2 pharmacokinetic parameters in humans. Plasma disposition of horse antivenom F(ab')2 fragments labeled with iodine 125 was studied...

A recent interesting paper by Melton et al. [ 11 discussed finding measures which preserve intuitive orderings on software documents. Informally, if 5 is such an ordering, then they argue that a measure M is a real-valued function defined on documents such that M(F) < M(F')whenever F< F. However, in measurement theory, this is only a necessary condition for a measure M. The representation condi...

Monitoring and diagnosis of complex dynamic systems are based on receiving inputs from sensors. The number, weight, size, reliability and cost of these sensors are important design concerns, particularly in remote systems like the Space Station. There is a need to minimize the costs associated with sensors without sacri cing the diagnosability of the system. We have de ned three metrics: (1) DE...

In this paper, we mainly study the convergence properties of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) as described in Needell et al. [2]. The function to be minimized with SGD is assumed to be strongly convex. Also, its gradients are assumed to be Lipschitz continuous. First, we discuss the superior bound on convergence (of standard SGD) obtained by Needell et al. [2] as opposed to the previous work o...
