Deep clustering learns deep feature representations that favor clustering task using neural networks. Some pioneering work proposes to simultaneously learn embedded features and perform clustering by explicitly defining a clustering oriented loss. Though promising performance has been demonstrated in various applications, we observe that a vital ingredient has been overlooked by these work that...

The photosynthetic apparatus in higher plants has been found to be located in complex lipoprotein membrane systems in the chloroplasts called grana. Electron microscopy has provided invaluable information in determining the fine structure of grana (6-9, 11, 21, 28-30). However, due to the harsh methods employed in fixation (usually by osmium tetroxide or potassium permanganate) and dehydration ...

The exchange of power between two identical coupled waveguides with embedded periodic structure along the z direction is studied in the framework of Floquet–Bloch theory. A one-period propagator is calculated and a spectrum of its eigenvalues (eigenphases) is studied. We show that due to special symmetry properties of the Floquet–Bloch operator, a strong enhancement or a total suppression of po...

We show that a vertex based data structure that keeps only pointers per vertex can store triangulations navigate them and maintain them under swap operations By comparison edge based structures such as the winged edge take pointers per vertex and triangle based structures take pointers per vertex Introduction Representations of planar subdivisions are central to applications of geo metric compu...

In this study, a system of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEXP)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles embedded in poly-ε-caprolacton (PCL) and gelatin electrospun nanofiber scaffold was introduced with potential therapeutic application for treatment of the nervous system. Besides anti-inflammatory properties, DEXP act through its glucocorticoid receptors, which are involved in the inhibition of astroc...

Compared to the long history of plasmonic gratings, there are only a few studies regarding the bandgap in the propagation of plasmonic surface waves. Considering the previous studies on interpretation of plasmonic bandgap formation, we discuss this phenomenon using the effect of both surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and localized surface plasmon (LSP) for our fabricated one-dimensional metallic-...

At present, the best view of the activity of a neural circuit is provided by multipleelectrode extracellular recording technologies. These technologies are able to simultaneously measure spike trains from up to a few hundred cells in one or more brain areas during each trial. However, characterizing the dynamics of the circuit from such data is made difficult, both by the point-like nature of t...
