The goal of this work is to learn and retrieve a sequence of highly correlated patterns using a Hopfield-type of Attractor Neural Network (ANN) with a small-world connectivity distribution. For this model, we propose a weight learning heuristic which combines the pseudo-inverse approach with a row-shifting schema. The influence of the ratio of random connectivity on retrieval quality and learni...

We experimentally demonstrate and systematically study the stimulated revival (echo) of motional wave packet oscillations. For this purpose, we prepare wave packets in an optical lattice by nonadiabatically shifting the potential and stimulate their reoccurrence by a second shift after a variable time delay. This technique, analogous to spin echoes, enables one even in the presence of strong de...

© 2013 Sangkil Lee and Insung Lee 935 This letter presents an algorithm for selecting a low delay for the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and inverse MDCT (IMDCT). The implementation of conventional MDCT and IMDCT requires a 50% overlap-add (OLA) for a perfect reconstruction. In the OLA process, an algorithmic delay in the frame length is employed. A reduced overlap window and MDCT/IM...

Fourier inversion is the computational method of choice for a fast and accurate calculation of plain vanilla option prices in models with an analytically available characteristic function. Shifting the contour of integration along the complex plane allows for different representations of the inverse Fourier integral. In this article, we present the optimal contour of the Fourier integral, takin...

The factor VIII gene (F8) intron 22 inversion (Inv22) is a paradigmatic duplicon-mediated rearrangement, found in about one half of patients with severe hemophilia A worldwide. The identification of this prevalent cause of hemophilia was delayed for nine years after the F8 characterization in 1984. The aim of this review is to present the wide diversity of practical approaches that have been de...

For solving large dense complex linear systems that arise in electromagnetic calculations, we perform experiments using a general purpose spectral low rank update preconditioner in the context of the GMRES method preconditioned by an approximate inverse preconditioner. The goal of the spectral preconditioner is to improve the convergence properties by shifting by one the smallest eigenvalues of...

public accountability is a sign of modern and democratic administration. accountability has become a topic of concern in governance literature. the question of holding politicians and administration accountable in new governance environment, where many traditional means for controlling government have been no longer fully applied, has gained wide recognition. as a consequence, new types of acco...

many procedures suggest for reduction of responses of riser to vortex induced vibrations (viv). natural frequencies of marine risers is an important parameter that can affect the responses of riser to viv. change of riser properties such as top tension and bending stiffness can alter natural frequencies. in this study effects of riser specifications on the responses and fatigue damage of marine...

No organism lives in a constant environment. Based on classical studies in molecular biology, many have viewed microbes as following strict rules for shifting their metabolic activities when prevailing conditions change. For example, students learn that the bacterium Escherichia coli makes proteins for digesting lactose only when lactose is available and glucose, a better sugar, is not. However...
