description: The convolutional neural network has achieved great success in fulfilling computer vision tasks despite large computation overhead against efficient deployment. Structured (channel) pruning is usually applied to reduce the model redundancy while preserving the network structure, such that the pruned network can be easily deployed in practice. However, existing structured pruning methods require hand-crafted rules which may lead to tremendous pruning space. In this paper, we introduce Differentiable Annealing Indicator Search (DAIS) that leverages the strength of neural architecture search in the channel pruning and automatically searches for the effective pruned model with given constraints on computation overhead. Specifically, DAIS relaxes the binarized channel indicators to be continuous and then jointly learns both indicators and model parameters via bi-level optimization. To bridge the non-negligible discrepancy between the continuous model and the target binarized model, DAIS proposes an annealing-based procedure to steer the indicator convergence towards binarized states. Moreover, DAIS designs various regularizations based on a priori structural knowledge to control the pruning sparsity and to improve model performance. Experimental results show that DAIS outperforms state-of-the-art pruning methods on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet.

description: The emblem as art form began with the "father" of the emblem, Andrea Alciato, an academic lawyer who presented to a printer in 1522 a book he titled Emblemata. Alciato claimed that he had invented a new literary art form containing a series of humorous epigrams. Various printers of Alciato's popular and soon reprinted book made several errors, which in turn developed the form, by either adding or removing pictures or modifying them. Printers and publishers also manipulated the form to increase profits once the genre proved to attract an audience.

description: Device-independent certification, also known as self-testing, aims at guaranteeing the proper functioning of untrusted and uncharacterized devices. For example, the quality of an unknown source expected to produce two-qubit maximally entangled states can be evaluated in a bi-partite scenario, each party using two binary measurements. The most robust approach consists in deducing the fidelity of produced states with respect to a two-qubit maximally entangled state from the violation of the CHSH inequality. In this paper, we show how the self-testing of two-qubit maximally entangled states is improved by a refined analysis of measurement statistics. The use of suitably chosen Bell tests, depending on the observed correlations, allows one to conclude higher fidelities than ones previously known. In particular, nontrivial self-testing statements can be obtained from correlations that cannot be exploited by a CHSH-based self-testing strategy. Our results not only provide novel insight into the set of quantum correlations suited for self-testing, but also facilitate the experimental implementations of device-independent certifications.

The paper reviews the application of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method for measuring the efficiency of national innovation systems (NIS). The paper firstly visualizes the logic of DEA method and briefly summarizes the key advantages and main limitations of the DEA method. Further, this paper provides a comprehensive review of 11 empirical studies on cross-country analysis of NIS efficiency with DEA technique. In its main part the paper analyses the specifications of DEA models used in the reviewed studies, the content of the country samples, sets of input and output variables used and the resulting lists of efficient countries.

The review detects general trends and differences in the sets of variables and the content of country samples. Moreover, this paper highlights the problem of “small countries bias” in the reviewed studies: situation when “small” (in terms of national innovation system scope and the level of development) countries (like Venezuela, Kyrgyzstan etc.) are included in the country sample, these “small” countries become the efficient ones.

In general, empirical studies on cross-country analysis of national innovation systems efficiency using DEA method pay little attention to profound analysis of previous relevant studies. Therefore, this paper is among the first papers with deep review of such empirical studies.

For quality control of ZBPYR, ﬁngerprint analysis and qualitative analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a diode-array detector, and confirmation using HPLC coupled with electrospray ionisation quadrupole time-of-ﬂight tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) were undertaken. HPLC fingerprint consisting of 34 common peaks was developed among 10 batches of ZBPYR, in which 7 common peaks were identified in comparison with the authentic standards and detected simultaneously. Furthermore, these seven compounds were verified by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS methods. The method can be applied to the quality control of ZBPYR.

This paper introduces the evolving understanding and conceptualization of innovation process models. From the discussion of different approaches towards the innovation process understanding and modeling two types of approaches to the evolution of innovation models are developed and discussed. First the so-called innovation management approach which focuses on the evolution of the company innovation management strategies in different socioeconomic environments. Second is the analysis the evolution of innovation models themselves in conceptual sense (conceptual approach) as well as analysis of theoretical backgrounds and requirements for these models.

The main focus of analysis in this approach is on advantages and disadvantages of different innovation models in their ability to describe the reality of innovation processes.

The paper focuses on the advantages and disadvantages as well as potentials and limitations of the approaches and also proposes potential future developments of innovation models as well as the analysis of driving forces that underlie the evolution of innovation models recently.

description: Tracer-kinetic models allow for the quantification of kinetic parameters such as blood flow from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) images. Fitting the observed data with multi-compartment exchange models is desirable, as they are physiologically plausible and resolve directly for blood flow and microvascular function. However, the reliability of model fitting is limited by the low signal-to-noise ratio, temporal resolution, and acquisition length. This may result in inaccurate parameter estimates. This study introduces physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) as a means to perform myocardial perfusion MR quantification, which provides a versatile scheme for the inference of kinetic parameters. These neural networks can be trained to fit the observed perfusion MR data while respecting the underlying physical conservation laws described by a multi-compartment exchange model. Here, we provide a framework for the implementation of PINNs in myocardial perfusion MR. The approach is validated both in silico and in vivo. In the in silico study, an overall reduction in mean-squared error with the ground-truth parameters was observed compared to a standard non-linear least squares fitting approach. The in vivo study demonstrates that the method produces parameter values comparable to those previously found in literature, as well as providing parameter maps which match the clinical diagnosis of patients.

description: The optically induced polarization of localized electron spins in an ensemble of quantum dots (QDs) dephases due to the interaction with the surrounding nuclear spins. Despite this dephasing, the spins in the QDs can be controlled to respond coherently by applying periodic laser pulses, leading to a revival of the spin polarization before each pulse. This effect, known as spin mode locking, strongly depends on an emerging selection of certain polarizations of the nuclear spin bath which is driven to a steady state far from equilibrium. We investigate the influence of the nuclear composition in In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As QDs on this nonequilibrium behavior and demonstrate that nuclear magnetic resonances (NMR) appear as very sharp minima in the magnetic field dependence of the revival amplitude. This suggests a novel kind of NMR spectroscopy.

description: Porous SiC has attracted extensive attention for its wide applications, especially in harsh environment, due to its unique properties. In the present paper, novel macro-meso-microporous SiC ultrathin fibers (MMM-SFs) were synthesized through electrospinning process associated with polymer-derived ceramics route, and the porous structure in the SFs can be conveniently tailored by tuning the composition of the spinning solvents and the concentration of the precursor (polycarbosilane). The surface features and microstructures of the resultant MMM-SFs were characterized in detail. These fibers presented a high specific surface area of 86.1–128.2 m2 g−1. The formation mechanism of hierarchically porous structure was discussed as well. N,N′-dimethylformamide (DMF) played a critical role in forming macropores, while the decomposition of SiOxCy phase was responsible for the meso-/micropores. Our method utilized to synthesize hierarchically porous SFs is easily capable of designing other ceramic fibers.
A Geometric View of Closure Phases in Interferometry

description: Closure phase is the phase of a closed-loop product of correlations in a $\ge 3$-element interferometer array. Its invariance to element-based phase corruption makes it invaluable for interferometric applications that otherwise require high-accuracy phase calibration. However, its understanding has remained mainly mathematical and limited to the aperture plane (Fourier dual of image plane). Here, we lay the foundations for a geometrical insight. we show that closure phase and its invariance to element-based corruption and to translation are intricately related to the conserved properties (shape, orientation, and size, or SOS) of the principal triangle enclosed by the three fringes formed by a closed triad of array elements, which is referred herein as the "SOS conservation principle". When element-based amplitude calibration is not needed, as is typical in optical interferometry, the 3-element interference image formed from phase-uncalibrated correlations is a true and uncorrupted representation of the source object's morphology, except for a possible shift. Based on this SOS conservation principle, we present two geometric methods to measure the closure phase directly from a 3-element interference image (without requiring an aperture-plane view): (i) the closure phase is directly measurable from any one of the triangle's heights, and (ii) the squared closure phase is proportional to the product of the areas enclosed by the triad of array elements and the principal triangle in the aperture and image planes, respectively. We validate this geometric understanding across a wide range range of interferometric conditions using data from the Very Large Array and the Event Horizon Telescope. This geometric insight can be potentially valuable to other interferometric applications such as optical interferometry. These geometric relationships are generalised for an $N$-element interferometer.

description: Space-filling and projective properties of design of computer experiments methods are desired features for metamodelling. To enable the production of high-quality sequential samples, this article presents a novel deterministic sequential maximin Latin hypercube design (LHD) method using successive local enumeration, notated as sequential-successive local enumeration (S-SLE). First, a mesh-mapping algorithm is proposed to map the positions of existing points into the new hyper-chessboard to ensure the projective property. According to the maximin distance criterion, new sequential samples are generated through successive local enumeration iterations to improve the space-filling uniformity. Through a number of comparative studies, several appealing merits of S-SLE are demonstrated: (1) S-SLE outperforms several existing LHD methods in terms of sequential sampling quality; (2) it is flexible and robust enough to produce high-quality multiple-stage sequential samples; and (3) the proposed method can improve the overall performance of sequential metamodel-based optimization algorithms. Thus, S-SLE is a promising sequential LHD method for metamodel-based optimization.

Optimization of this effect for cylinders permits to reach a super resolution in the line thickness what can be used for contacting optical lithography.

description: With the release of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, many popular commentators and critics heralded the film as Hollywood's sincere at- tempt at diversifying popular cinema. Two years earlier, Halle Berry and Denzel Washington—two of Hollywood's most eminent black actors—both won Oscars for leading roles. Apparently, Hollywood had finally begun to give serious attention to issues of race and representation. Considering Hollywood's poor track record for dealing with controversial subject matter, it should not be surprising that Harold and Kumar is not the subversive film that these commentators made it out to be. Indeed, the film is contradictory in nature, and, in the end, fails to put forth a progressive and politically subversive line of thinking (although this is not to ignore the fact that Harold and Kumar represents a profound moment in Hollywood history for actors-of-colour). With the reception of the film being largely positive—not just in terms of film quality but as raising hope for a more diverse (read: progressive) Hollywood—the political failings of the film are that much more glaring.

description: The ELBA coarse-grained model describes a water molecule as a single-site Lennard-Jones particle embedded with a point dipole. ELBA was previously reported to capture several properties of real water with relatively high accuracy, while being up to two orders of magnitude more computationally efficient than atomistic models. Here, we ‘stress test’ the ELBA model by investigating the temperature and pressure dependences of two most important water properties, the liquid density and the self-diffusion coefficient. In particular, molecular dynamics simulations are performed spanning temperatures from 268 K up to 378 K and pressures from 1 atm up to 4000 atm. Comparisons are made with literature data from experiments and from simulations of traditional three-site atomistic models. Remarkably, the ELBA results show an overall similar (and sometimes higher) accuracy with respect to the atomistic data. We also calculate a number of additional thermodynamic properties at ambient conditions, namely isothermal compressibility, shear viscosity, isobaric heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient and melting point. The accuracy of ELBA is relatively good compared to atomistic and other coarse-grained models.

description: Frankly, it's hard to imagine that French women "get" anything in the grabby way the word is used in the title of Mireille Guiliano's book. French Women Don’t Get Fat is a discordant appellation for this self-help / autobiography crossover, its bluntness misrepresentative of Guilianoís carefully modulated plea for restrained pleasure. Or is that pleasured restraint? The je ne sais quoi of that most tantalising of prospective existences—"French Women"—uncomfortably receives the incongruity. Continental accoutrement of apple-pie American nous, the title's claim is bald, brassy and self- satisfied, but the title's subject represents pure aspiration. French Women Don’t Get Fat is the new transatlantic fusion.

description: Objective: To determine the relationships between variants in adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) with advanced forms of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility.Methods: A total of 189 advanced AMD patients and 168 controls were recruited. Seven tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ADIPOQ were genotyped by the SNaPshot method.Results: Alleles or genotypes of rs822396 distributed significantly differently in advanced AMD patients and controls. The minor allele G at rs822396 was associated with an increased risk of advanced AMD in a dominant model. Furthermore, haplotype analysis revealed that haplotypes AGGACCT and TGACCCC were significantly increased the advanced AMD susceptibility, whereas haplotypes AGAACGC, TGAACGT and TGACAGC had protective effects.Conclusion: ADIPOQ genetic variant rs822396 might affect an individual’s susceptibility to AMD, making it efficient genetic biomarkers for early detection of AMD.

description: Objective: With the help of fetal echocardiography, cardiovascular profile score (CVPS) can be evaluated. However, no general agreement has been recognized on the prediction value of CVPS on fetal adverse outcome.Methods: Literature review has identified up to Nov 2012 in the databases. Meta-analysis was performed in a fixed/random-effect model using Revman 5.1.1 and Meta-disc 1.4. The differences among different cut-offs were measured by STATA 11.0.Results: Result from seven studies reported an outcome in favor of significant lower CVPS in fetus of adverse outcome with std. mean difference of −1.17 (95% CI = −1.78, −0.55). The overall performance of CVPS ≤6 prediction adverse outcome evaluated as area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) was 0.8777. The AUC of CVPS ≤7 was 0.8728 and the AUC of CVPS ≤8 was 0.7207. However, the result indicated the performance of CVPS ≤6 prediction adverse outcome had a statistical significance comparing to other two cut-offs.Conclusion: Analysis has proven the CVPS is a credible index for predicting fetal adverse outcome. And once CVPS decreased at eight, the patient should be observed carefully. With the CVPS dropped at seven, treatment is demanded immediately while some cases suffer irreversible cardiac dysfunction.
Catherine Millet. The Sexual Life of Catherine M, trans. Adriana Hunter. London: Serpent’s Tail, 2002 [Book review]

description: Posited as an autobiographical account, [Catherine Millet's The Sexual Life of Catherine M] is a painstakingly detailed and at times shocking exploration into the darkest terrain of one woman's sex life, focussing in particular, on her guiltless unabashed participation in group sex. The more salacious elements (and there are many) of the French art critic's memoir are by now well known. As a young woman in 1960s and 1970s Paris, Catherine Millet was introduced to group sex at the age of 18, some weeks after her first sexual encounter. Finding the cumbersome pawing of teenage love offensive, she spent her 20s and 30s pinned down by a total of more than 5000 men in a series of anonymous orgies.

description: Formal power series products appear in nonlinear control theory when systems modeled by Chen-Fliess series are interconnected to form new systems. In fields like adaptive control and learning systems, the coefficients of these formal power series are estimated sequentially with real-time data. The main goal of the present article is to prove the continuity and analyticity of such products with respect to several natural (locally convex) topologies on spaces of locally convergent formal power series in order to establish foundational properties behind these technologies. In addition, it is shown that a transformation group central to describing the output feedback connection is in fact an analytic Lie group in this setting with certain regularity properties.

description: Elle played from 3 to 8 August, 2004 at La Mama Theatre in Carlton, Melbourne. It was directed by Christian Leavesley, designed by Angela Buckingham and per- formed by Anita Beckman. There were two performances every evening. In the early show three "layers" of audience were present: A single person to whom ELLE directed her speech (referred to as AUDIENCE in the script), a person who watched from a concealed peephole booth (referred to as VOYEUR) and a ìconventionalî group audience who observed the interaction between ELLE, AUDIENCE and VOYEUR. The late show was an intimate performance with only three people present: ELLE, AUDIENCE and VOYEUR.

description: The multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method has been used for a wide variety of stochastic applications. In this paper we consider its use in situations in which input random variables can be replaced by similar approximate random variables which can be computed much more cheaply. A nested MLMC approach is adopted in which a two-level treatment of the approximated random variables is embedded within a standard MLMC application. We analyse the resulting nested MLMC variance in the specific context of an SDE discretisation in which Normal random variables can be replaced by approximately Normal random variables, and provide numerical results to support the analysis.

description: L’utilisation couplée de techniques d’imagerie (MEB, Tomographie) et de caractérisation chimique globale (DRX, ATD) s’impose depuis de nombreuses années dans l’obtention d’informations quant à l’étude des processus de dégradation des matériaux de construction. L’objectif de cette étude est d’obtenir des informations quantitatives locales à l’aide d’un microscope infrarouge à transformée de Fourier (FTIR). Les aspects théoriques et expérimentaux à la base de la cartographie chimique par microscopie infrarouge sont détaillés en s’appuyant sur un matériau modèle (composite ciment polymère avec inclusions). Les principaux modes d’acquisition s’appliquant aux matériaux organo-minéraux, ainsi que le traitement des spectres et les méthodes de déconvolution spectrale sont abordés. Enfin, il est montré qu’en utilisant conjointement des considérations statistiques (algoritme SIMPLISMA) et une résolution itérative pénalisée (Alternative Least Square), issues d’un code développé au laboratoire, il est possible d’obtenir la distribution spatiale des concentrations relatives de chacun des composants.

В статье представлена классификация диуретиков. Особое внимание уделяется петлевому диуретику торасемиду. Отмечаются особенности его клинической фармакологии, фармакокинетики и фармакодинамики.
Торасемид, обладая более длительной продолжительностью диуретического действия, является современным, более безопасным антигипертензивным и органопротективным препаратом при длительном применении, чем другие петлевые и тиазидные препараты. На основании имеющейся доказательной базы торасемид можно успешно применять при АГ, в том числе при резистентной к лечению, при сочетании АГ с СД, гиперурикемией, гиперлипидемией, хронической болезнью почек (ХБП), у женщин с АГ при климактерическом синдроме, при циррозе печени и ХСН.
