Monotonicity of optimized quantum f-divergence [PDF]

Quantum Information Processing
AbstractOptimized quantumf-divergence was first introduced by Wilde and further explored by Li and Wilde later. Wilde raised the question of whether the monotonicity of optimized quantumf-divergence can be generalized to maps that are not quantum channels.

Upacicalcet: A Novel Intravenous Calcimimetic Agent for Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in patients receiving maintenance dialysis, driven by calcium and phosphate metabolism disturbances. Calcimimetics are central to the management of SHPT by enhancing calcium‐sensing receptor sensitivity and reducing parathyroid hormone secretion.

Correlations of Cross-Entropy Loss in Machine Learning

Entropy
Cross-entropy loss is crucial in training many deep neural networks. In this context, we show a number of novel and strong correlations among various related divergence functions.

Ancient polymorphisms contribute to genome-wide variation by long-term balancing selection and divergent sorting in Boechera stricta

Genome Biology, 2019
Background Genomic variation is widespread, and both neutral and selective processes can generate similar patterns in the genome. These processes are not mutually exclusive, so it is difficult to infer the evolutionary mechanisms that govern population ...

Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

Generalized Jensen and Jensen–Mercer inequalities for strongly convex functions with applications

Journal of Inequalities and Applications
Strongly convex functions as a subclass of convex functions, still equipped with stronger properties, are employed through several generalizations and improvements of the Jensen inequality and the Jensen–Mercer inequality.

Information Measures: the Curious Case of the Binary Alphabet

, 2014
Four problems related to information divergence measures defined on finite alphabets are considered. In three of the cases we consider, we illustrate a contrast which arises between the binary-alphabet and larger-alphabet settings.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Gene flow analysis method, the D-statistic, is robust in a wide parameter space

BMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background We evaluated the sensitivity of the D-statistic, a parsimony-like method widely used to detect gene flow between closely related species. This method has been applied to a variety of taxa with a wide range of divergence times.

Convergence of latent mixing measures in finite and infinite mixture models

, 2013
This paper studies convergence behavior of latent mixing measures that arise in finite and infinite mixture models, using transportation distances (i.e., Wasserstein metrics). The relationship between Wasserstein distances on the space of mixing measures
