Limb reduction in squamate reptiles correlates with the reduction of the chondrocranium: A case study on serpentiform anguids

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 250, Issue 9, Page 1300-1317, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Background In vertebrates, the skull evolves from a complex network of dermal bones and cartilage—the latter forming the pharyngeal apparatus and the chondrocranium. Squamates are particularly important in this regard as they maintain at least part of the chondrocranium throughout their whole ontogeny until adulthood.

A unified single-loop alternating gradient projection algorithm for nonconvex–concave and convex–nonconcave minimax problems [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical programming, 2020
Much recent research effort has been directed to the development of efficient algorithms for solving minimax problems with theoretical convergence guarantees due to the relevance of these problems to a few emergent applications. In this paper, we propose

Crashworthiness and optimization of novel concave thin-walled tubes

open access: yesComposite structures, 2021
In this work, a new type of energy-absorbing thin-walled tubes with concave angles is proposed by a unique structural design method to improve the crashworthiness performance of the traditional hexagonal thin-walled tube (TH).

Efficient Search of First-Order Nash Equilibria in Nonconvex-Concave Smooth Min-Max Problems [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Optimization, 2020
We propose an efficient algorithm for finding first-order Nash equilibria in min-max problems of the form $\min_{x \in X}\max_{y \in Y} F(x,y)$, where the objective function is smooth in both variables and concave with respect to $y$; the sets $X$ and $Y$

Alternating Proximal-Gradient Steps for (Stochastic) Nonconvex-Concave Minimax Problems [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Optimization, 2020
Minimax problems of the form $\min_x \max_y \Psi(x,y)$ have attracted increased interest largely due to advances in machine learning, in particular generative adversarial networks. These are typically trained using variants of stochastic gradient descent

GEOMETRIC REDESIGN OF THE SUBDIVIDED SURFACE OF CC II: APPLICATION IN ARCHITECTURE

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics, 2019
The concave polyhedral surface of CC II can be used as a structural template for architectural design of domes, roofs or other covering or stand-alone structures.

Nearly unbiased variable selection under minimax concave penalty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We propose MC+, a fast, continuous, nearly unbiased and accurate method of penalized variable selection in high-dimensional linear regression. The LASSO is fast and continuous, but biased.

A Primal-Dual Algorithm with Line Search for General Convex-Concave Saddle Point Problems

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Optimization, 2020
In this paper, we propose a primal-dual algorithm with a novel momentum term using the partial gradients of the coupling function that can be viewed as a generalization of the method proposed by Chambolle and Pock in 2016 to solve saddle point problems ...

Micropropagation of Bioencapsulation and Ultrastructural Features of Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) Grown In Vivo and In Vitro

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
To explore the potential of in vitro rapid regeneration, three varieties (Golpaygan‐181, Orumieh‐1763, and Gorgan‐1601) of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. syn. Onobrychis sativa L.) were evaluated. For the first time, an encapsulation protocol was established from somatic embryogenic callus in torpedo and cotyledonary stages to create artificial ...
