Hashing is emerging as a powerful tool for building highly efficient indices in large-scale search systems. In this paper, we study spectral hashing (SH), which is a classical method of unsupervised hashing. In general, SH solves for the hash codes by minimizing an objective function that tries to preserve the similarity structure of the data given. Although computationally simple, very often S...

Let SH,K = {SH,K(t), t ? 0} be a d?dimensional sub-bifractional Brownian motion with indices H (0, 1) and K (0,1]. Assuming d 2, as HKd < 1, we mainly prove that the renormalized self-intersection local time t0 s0 ?(SH,K(s) SH,K(r))drds E [?t0 ?s0 SH,K(r))drds] exists in L2, where ?(x) is Dirac delta function for x Rd.

Spiral-defect chaos (SDC) in Rayleigh-Bénard convection is a well-established spatio-temporal complex pattern, which competes with stationary rolls near the onset of convection. The characteristic properties of SDC are accurately described on the basis of the standard three-dimensional Boussinesq equations. As a much simpler and attractive two-dimensional model for SDC generalized Swift-Hohenbe...

When a mesoscopic two dimensional four-terminal Hall cross bar with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is subjected to a perpendicular uniform magnetic field B, both integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) and mesoscopic spin Hall effect (MSHE) may exist when disorder strength W in the sample is weak. We have calculated the low field "phase diagram" of MSHE in the (B,W) plane for disordered samples in the...

Each of the d-dimensional dual hyperovals Sh m discovered by Yoshiara [20] gives rise, via affine expansion, to a flag-transitive semibiplane A f (Sh m ). We prove that, if m + h = d + 1, then A f (Sh m ) is an elation semibiplane. In the other cases, if d > 2 then A f (Sh m ) is not isomorphic to any of the examples we are aware of, except possibly for certain semibiplanes obtained from Dn -bu...

Following the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, satellite and in situ measurements showed a large enhancement in stratospheric aerosol in both hemispheres, but significant midlatitude column O3 depletion was observed only in the north. We use a three-dimensional chemical transport model to determine the mechanisms behind this hemispheric asymmetry. The model, forced by European Centre for Medium-Rang...

The title novel mixed mu(2)-SH- and mu(3)-SH-bridged tetranuclear copper(I) complex, cyclo-bis[mu(2)-bis(diphenylphosphino)amine]di-mu(3)-sulfanido-di-mu(2)-sulfanido-tetracopper(I) methanol disolvate, [Cu(4)(SH)(4)(C(24)H(21)NP(2))(2)].2CH(3)OH, has crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry and affords a neutral Cu(4)S(4) core with a distorted step-like structure. The distances of 2.8458 (16...

Hamster caput epididymal spermatozoa exhibit a marked 90-180 degree bend when induced to acquire progressive motility in vitro (Cornwall et al, 1988). Flagellar bending is prevented by oxidizing sperm sulfhydryl (SH) groups with diamide. In the present study, the authors examined the SH proteins involved in sperm flagellar bending using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mon...

We study the effect of disorder on the intrinsic anomalous Hall (AH) conductivity in a spinpolarized two-dimensional electron gas with a Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction. We find that AH conductivity vanishes unless the lifetime is spin-dependent, similar to the spin Hall (SH) conductivity in the non-magnetic system. In addition, we find that the SH conductivity does not vanish in the presenc...

background: in this study, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-de) method was applied to determine and compare the protein spots expressed in the two field isolates of leishmania major and recovered from the patients who were clinically sensitive and resistant to glucantime® treatment. methods: leishmania parasites were isolated from the cutaneous lesions of two cl infected patients in shira...
