Elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is a significant healthcare risk. Continuous monitoring for patients with elevated PAP is crucial for effective treatment, yet the most accurate method is invasive and expensive, and cannot be performed repeatedly. Noninvasive methods exist but are somewhat inaccurate, expensive, and cannot be used for continuous monitoring. We present a machine learning...

Purpose In real life, we only know the consequences of each possible action with some uncertainty. A typical example is interval uncertainty, when lower and upper bounds on expected gain. usual way to compare such interval-valued alternatives use optimism–pessimism criterion developed by Nobelist Leo Hurwicz. this approach, a weighted combination worst-case best-case gains maximized. There exis...

BACKGROUND The combination melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide (MPT) is considered a standard therapy for patients with myeloma who are ineligible for stem-cell transplantation. However, emerging data on the use of lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone warrant a prospective comparison of the two approaches. METHODS We randomly assigned 1623 patients to lenalidomide and dexamethasone in 28-day ...

This paper describes a new approach to acoustic mod-eling for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) systems. Each phone is modeled with a large Gaussian mixture model (GMM) whose context-dependent mixture weights are estimated with a sentence-level discrim-inative training criterion. The estimation problem is casted in a neural network framework, which enables the incorporation...

This paper investigates the dynamics of decentralised nest construction in the ant species Leptothorax tuberointerruptus, exploring the contribution of, and interaction between, a pheromone building template and a physical building template (the bodies of the ants themselves). We present a continuous-space model of ant behaviour capable of generating ant-like nest structures, the integrity and ...

It is now well-established that a variety of singularities can be characterized and observed in optical wavefields. It is also known that these phase singularities, polarization singularities and coherence singularities are physically related, but the exact nature of their relationship is still somewhat unclear. We show how a Young-type three-pinhole interference experiment can be used to creat...

A generalization of the known results in fusion frames and $g$-frames theory to continuous fusion frames which defined by M. H. Faroughi and R. Ahmadi, is presented in this study. Continuous resolution of the identity (CRI) is introduced, a new family of CRI is constructed, and a number of reconstruction formulas are obtained. Also, new results are given on the duality of continuous fusion fram...

With the development of cloud computing, storage and processing massive visual media data has gradually transferred to server. For example, if intelligent video monitoring system cannot process a large amount locally, will be uploaded cloud. Therefore, how in without exposing original become an important research topic. We propose single-server version somewhat homomorphic encryption cryptosyst...

Infinite-dimensional spaces are ubiquitous in many branches of mathematics, and their topologies are almost always interesting. Samples of spaces that one is sure to encounter areCc(R),C (R),L(R), and their continuous linear duals. There are two good reasons for making oneself at least somewhat familiar with the subject. On the one hand, without some preparation, it is easy to make false statem...
