We describe Chandra High-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer observations of RT Cru, the first of a new sub-class of symbiotic stars that appear to contain white dwarfs (WDs) capable of producing hard X-ray emission out to greater than 50 keV. The production of such hard X-ray emission from the objects in this sub-class (which also includes CD −57 3057, T CrB, and CH Cyg) challenges our un...

The performance of cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio (CR) networks depends on the sensing mode, the sensing time and the number of cooperative users. In order to improve the sensing performance and reduce the interference to the primary user (PU), a periodic cooperative spectrum sensing model based on weight fusion is proposed in this paper. Moreover, the sensing period, the sensi...

The spatial relationship between mitochondria and the membrane systems, more specifically the calcium release units (CRUs) of skeletal muscle, is of profound functional significance. CRUs are the sites at which Ca(2+) is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during muscle activation. Close mitochondrion-CRU proximity allows the organelles to take up Ca(2+) and thus stimulate aerobic metaboli...

In this work we argue that, from a system-theoretical point of view, there is only a limited degree of freedom in the input-output dynamics of a reservoir system. This means that, for a given configuration of wells in the reservoir, a large number of combinations of the state variables (pressure and saturation values in the grid blocks) are not actually controllable and observable, and accordin...

The X-ray emission from most accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in symbiotic binary stars is quite soft. Several symbiotic WDs, however, produce strong X-ray emission at energies greater than ∼ 20 keV. The Swift BAT instrument has detected hard X-ray emission from 4 such accreting WDs in symbiotic stars: RT Cru, T CrB, CD −57 3057, and CH Cyg. In one case (RT Cru), Swift detected X-rays out to greate...

Residual units are wildly used for alleviating optimization difficulties when building deep neural networks. However, the performance gain does not well compensate the model size increase, indicating low parameter efficiency in these residual units. In this work, we first revisit the residual function in several variations of residual units and demonstrate that these residual functions can actu...
