We study an equivariant co-assembly map that is dual to the usual Baum–Connes assembly map and closely related to coarse geometry, equivariant Kasparov theory, and the existence of dual Dirac morphisms. As applications, we prove the existence of dual Dirac morphisms for groups with suitable compactifications, that is, satisfying the Carlsson–Pedersen condition, and we study a K–theoretic counte...

Dual-energy CT has remained underutilized over the past decade probably due to a cumbersome workflow issue and current technical limitations. Clinical radiologists should be made aware of the potential clinical benefits of dual-energy CT over single-energy CT. To accomplish this aim, the basic principle, current acquisition methods with advantages and disadvantages, and various material-specifi...

In this paper, we propose combining augmented Lagrangian optimization with the dual decomposition method to obtain a fast algorithm for approximate MAP (maximum a posteriori) inference on factor graphs. We also show how the proposed algorithm can efficiently handle problems with (possibly global) structural constraints. The experimental results reported testify for the state-of-the-art performa...

Approximate MAP inference in graphical models is an important and challenging problem for many domains including computer vision, computational biology and natural language understanding. Current state-of-theart approaches employ convex relaxations of these problems as surrogate objectives, but only provide weak running time guarantees. In this paper, we develop an approximate inference algorit...

Dual-specificity MAP kinase phosphatases (MKPs) provide a complex negative regulatory network that acts to shape the duration, magnitude and spatiotemporal profile of MAP kinase activities in response to both physiological and pathological stimuli. Individual MKPs may exhibit either exquisite specificity towards a single mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoform or be able to regulate mul...

The Kneser-Hecke-operator is a linear operator defined on the complex vector space spanned by the equivalence classes of a family of self-dual codes of fixed length. It maps a linear self-dual code C over a finite field to the formal sum of the equivalence classes of those self-dual codes that intersect C in a codimension 1 subspace. The eigenspaces of this self-adjoint linear operator may be d...

A triangular quantum deformation of osp(2/1) from the classical r-matrix including an odd generator is presented with its full Hopf algebra structure. The deformation maps, twisting element and tensor operators are considered for the deformed osp(2/1). It is also shown that its subalgebra generated by the Borel subalgebra is self-dual.

We prove the conjecture of Berstein, Hilton, and Ganea that an (n I)-connected CW-complex X with dim X < k(n 2) + 3 which has a co-Ak_,-space structure desuspends. Moreover, we show the following dual of a result of Segal: given a cosimplicial space Y, which is special in the sense that the canonical maps Vz’, Yr + k;, are homotopy equivalences and Yl is 2-connected then there is a functorial d...
