Low degree (typically 2, 3) tetrahedral implicit algebraic patches are gaining in popularity for modeling boundaries of free-form (sculptured) solids. A Constructive Shell Representation (CSR) is a union of truncated tetrahedra, called \trunctets", that form a thick shell containing the boundary of such a free-form solid. One bounding face of each trunctet is an algebraic patch, and the other f...

Embed-to-control (E2C) [17] is a model for solving high-dimensional optimal control problems by combining variational autoencoders with locally-optimal controllers. However, the current E2C model suffers from two major drawbacks: 1) its objective function does not correspond to the likelihood of the data sequence and 2) the variational encoder used for embedding typically has large variational ...

Single-moment microphysics schemes have long enjoyed popularity for their simplicity and efficiency. However, in this article it is argued through theoretical considerations, idealized thunderstorm simulations, and radiative–convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations that the assumptions inherent in these parameterizations can induce large errors in the proper representation of clouds and their f...

We observed resonant coherent excitation (RCE) of 1s electron to nˆ 2 states in Ar17‡ through measurements of the survived fraction of 390 MeV/u hydrogen-like Ar17‡ channeled in a Si crystal. We adopted a totally depleted Si surface barrier detector as a target crystal as well as a probe of the energy deposition. The charge state of emerged ions was measured by a combination of a charge separat...

The retro-cue effect (RCE) describes superior working memory performance for validly cued stimulus locations long after encoding has ended. Importantly, this happens with delays beyond the range of iconic memory. In general, the RCE is a stable phenomenon that emerges under varied stimulus configurations and timing parameters. We investigated its susceptibility to dual-task interference to dete...

Recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) is a common ocular disorder resulting in repeated episodes of pain, tearing, redness, and photophobia, especially in the morning. It is frequently associated with anterior stromal dystrophies, epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, or trauma to the corneal surface, but RCE may also spontaneously occur without any predisposing factor [1,2]. The conservative treat...

We present a detailed theoretical analysis on the quantum efficiency of a resonant cavity enhanced ~RCE! GaAs homojunction work function internal photoemission far-infrared ~FIR! detector. The quantum efficiency under both resonant and nonresonant conditions has been calculated. All the detector parameters are optimized under the realistically nonresonant condition. The further investigation of...

The RCE algorithm, which can be considered as belonging to the category of the Region of Influence (ROI) incremental algorithms, is one of the first and most widely used incremental algorithms. It is well known that the performance of this algorithm is limited by constraints affecting the initial parameter settings: order in which input patterns are presented during the training phase and initi...
