hafez is considered to be one of the most well-known iranianpoets in german culture. although there are many translations of his divan(anthology and complete translation of poems), the question is do we need a newtranslation? hafiz was obliged to compress all his knowledge in words, which iswhy his poetry is so enigmatic. reading his poetry is like entering a labyrinthfrom where it is difficult...

UNLABELLED Periprosthetic fractures after massive endoprosthetic reconstructions pose a reconstructive challenge and jeopardize limb preservation. Compressive osseointegration technology offers the promise of relative ease of prosthetic revision, since fixation is achieved by means of a short intramedullary device. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 221 patients who had Compress((R)) dev...

AI systems consume volumes of relational knowledge to extract patterns and model the world. We face the challenges of scaling to growing volumes of knowledge, identifying more sophisticated patterns and concepts, and compressing and indexing relational knowledge for future access. This paper describes the domain-general path-specific isomorphic abstraction (ψ-abstraction) approach for encoding ...

Ordinarily, RSA and Rabin ciphertexts and signatures are log N bits, where N is a composite modulus; here, we describe how to “compress” Rabin ciphertexts and signatures (among other things) down to about (2/3) log N bits, while maintaining a tight provable reduction from factoring in the random oracle model. The computational overhead of our compression algorithms is small. We also improve upo...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have recently emerged as one of the most significant wireless techniques, as they can greatly improve the channel capacity and link reliability of wireless communications. These benefits have encouraged extensive research on a virtual MIMO system where the transmitter has multiple antennas and each of the receivers has a single antenna. Single-anten...

We present a parallelizable algorithm for computing the persistent homology of a filtered chain complex. Our approach differs from the commonly used reduction algorithm by first computing persistence pairs within local chunks, then simplifying the unpaired columns, and finally applying standard reduction on the simplified matrix. The approach generalizes a technique by Günther et al., which use...

Colonic mucus is a key biological hydrogel that protects the gut from infection and physical damage and mediates host-microbe interactions and drug delivery. However, little is known about how its structure is influenced by materials it comes into contact with regularly. For example, the gut abounds in polymers such as dietary fibers or administered therapeutics, yet whether such polymers inter...
