How behavioral constraints may determine optimal sensory representations [PDF]

, 2006
The sensory-triggered activity of a neuron is typically characterized in terms of a tuning curve, which describes the neuron's average response as a function of a parameter that characterizes a physical stimulus.

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

Axiomatizations of signed discrete Choquet integrals [PDF]

, 2010
We study the so-called signed discrete Choquet integral (also called non-monotonic discrete Choquet integral) regarded as the Lov\'asz extension of a pseudo-Boolean function which vanishes at the origin.

A Positron Lifetime Study of Cooling and Natural Aging of Solutionized Aluminum Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The process during cooling of Al–Mg and Al–Mg–Si alloys from the solutionizing temperature down to 20 °C is interrupted. These states are analyzed with positron lifetime spectroscopy to trace the processes during cooling. In different temperature ranges, two stages of vacancy loss and solute clustering are identified.

On a Functional Equation Appearing on the Margins of a Mean Invariance Problem

Annales Mathematicae Silesianae, 2020
Given a continuous strictly monotonic real-valued function α, defined on an interval I, and a function ω : I → (0, +∞) we denote by Bαω the Bajraktarević mean generated by α and weighted by ω:

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

The incoherent feed‐forward loop can generate non‐monotonic input functions for genes

Molecular Systems Biology, 2008
Gene regulation networks contain recurring circuit patterns called network motifs. One of the most common network motif is the incoherent type 1 feed‐forward loop (I1‐FFL), in which an activator controls both gene and repressor of that gene.

On-Line AdaTron Learning of Unlearnable Rules

, 1997
We study the on-line AdaTron learning of linearly non-separable rules by a simple perceptron. Training examples are provided by a perceptron with a non-monotonic transfer function which reduces to the usual monotonic relation in a certain limit.

Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

A completely monotonic function involving the gamma and trigamma functions

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2016
In the paper the author provides necessary and sufficient conditions on $a$ for the function\begin{equation*}\frac{1}{2}\ln(2\pi)-x+\biggl(x-\frac{1}{2}\biggr)\ln x-\ln\Gamma(x)+\frac1{12}{\psi'(x+a)}\end{equation*}and its negative to be completely ...
