Deep Ensemble of Weighted Viterbi Decoders for Tail-Biting Convolutional Codes [PDF]
Tail-biting convolutional codes extend the classical zero-termination convolutional codes: Both encoding schemes force the equality of start and end states, but under the tail-biting each state is a valid termination. This paper proposes a machine-learning approach to improve the state-of-the-art decoding of tail-biting codes, focusing on the widely ...

In-Mouth Robotic Bite Transfer with Visual and Haptic Sensing [PDF]
Assistance during eating is essential for those with severe mobility issues or eating risks. However, dependence on traditional human caregivers is linked to malnutrition, weight loss, and low self-esteem. For those who require eating assistance, a semi-autonomous robotic platform can provide independence and a healthier lifestyle.

A unified theory for some non Newtonian fluids under singular forcing [PDF]
We consider a model of steady, incompressible non-Newtonian flow with neglected convective term under external forcing. Our structural assumptions allow for certain non-degenerate power-law or Carreau-type fluids. We provide the full-range theory, namely existence, optimal regularity and uniqueness of solutions, not only with respect to forcing ...

Postulations for the Migration Behavior of Amino Acids as Cations in Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
ABSTRACT Amino acids (AAs) in their cationic form at pH 2.2 and usual ionic strength show a non‐intuitive migration order in CZE. This is explained by setting up four postulates. The central points in these postulates are the influence of the AA side chain on the pKa${\rm p}K_{\rm a}$ value and the adoption of a defined, preferred conformation to build

Assessing the Accuracy of a Wrist Motion Tracking Method for Counting Bites across Demographic and Food Variables [PDF]
This paper describes a study to test the accuracy of a method that tracks wrist motion during eating to detect and count bites. The purpose was to assess its accuracy across demographic (age, gender, ethnicity) and bite (utensil, container, hand used, food type) variables. Data were collected in a cafeteria under normal eating conditions.

Abstract The exploration of gender differences in non‐andrological fields was the core focus of a series of discussions, which took place at the Endocrinology Unit in Modena, Italy in the form of the aporetic dialogue of ancient Greece. This second episode reports the transcript of the actual debate on testosterone's role in defining empathic behavior ...

The DCIDE framework: systematic investigation of evolutionary hypotheses, exemplified with autism
ABSTRACT Evolutionary explanations of mental disorders are a longstanding aim of evolutionary psychiatry, but have suffered from complexities including within‐disorder heterogeneity and environmental effects of contemporary societies obscuring possible ancestral functions.

Reliability-output Decoding of Tail-biting Convolutional Codes [PDF]
We present extensions to Raghavan and Baum's reliability-output Viterbi algorithm (ROVA) to accommodate tail-biting convolutional codes. These tail-biting reliability-output algorithms compute the exact word-error probability of the decoded codeword after first calculating the posterior probability of the decoded tail-biting codeword's starting state ...

Abstract Objectives With raising rates of mental health problems, mind–body interventions are increasingly being integrated in schools to support children and adolescents' mental health and well‐being. The aim of this study was to explore young adolescents' experiences of yoga and mindfulness and the acceptability of delivery within the school ...

MR imaging of proton beam‐induced oxygen depletion
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that in‐beam magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to visualize a proton beam during the irradiation of liquid‐filled phantoms. The beam energy‐ and current‐dependent local image contrast observed in water was identified to be predominantly caused by beam‐induced buoyant convection and associated ...
