Divergence and Sufficiency for Convex Optimization

Entropy, 2017
Logarithmic score and information divergence appear in information theory, statistics, statistical mechanics, and portfolio theory. We demonstrate that all these topics involve some kind of optimization that leads directly to regret functions and such ...

Ionic Control of Microstructure and Lubrication in Charged, Physically Cross‐Linked Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, charged, physically cross‐linked poly(methacrylamide‐co‐methacrylic acid) hydrogels stabilized by a short‐range attractive, long‐range repulsive potential is investigated. This work uncovers how salt addition alters not only swelling, but also the microstructure and dynamics, near‐surface stiffness and charge, and ultimately, its lubricity. Salts

Self-adaptive iterative method for solving boundedly Lipschitz continuous and strongly monotone variational inequalities

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
In this paper we introduce a new self-adaptive iterative algorithm for solving the variational inequalities in real Hilbert spaces, denoted by VI(C,F) $\operatorname{VI}(C, F)$. Here C⊆H $C\subseteq \mathcal{H}$ is a nonempty, closed and convex set and F:

Decoupling Size and Electronic Effects in Doped SrTiO3 Photocatalysts Through Surface Area–Normalized CO2 Hydrogenation Rates

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Exploring the photocatalytic reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) reaction on doped SrTiO3 nanoparticle films, reveals that normalizing catalytic rates by the catalyst's specific surface area (SSA) disentangled surface area effects from the catalyst's intrinsic material properties.

Interplay of multiple pathways and activity-dependent rules in STDP. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2018
Hebbian plasticity describes a basic mechanism for synaptic plasticity whereby synaptic weights evolve depending on the relative timing of paired activity of the pre- and postsynaptic neurons.

Using an Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Monotonic Regression Rule Discovery

Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, 2016
Many data mining algorithms do not make use of existing domain knowledge when constructing their models. This can lead to model rejection as users may not trust models that behave contrary to their expectations.

A Peptide Nucleic Acid‐Functionalized Heterojunction Thin Film Transistor as a Scalable and Reusable Platform for Label‐Free Detection of MicroRNA

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A miniaturized, label‐free, and enzyme‐free biosensor (miR‐TFT) enables direct electrical detection of microRNA (miRNA) with single‐nucleotide specificity and a detection limit of 0.6 fM. Built on a tri‐channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction and functionalized with bespoke peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes, the device is robust, reusable, and compatible with

Fermi Surface Nesting and Anomalous Hall Effect in Magnetically Frustrated Mn2PdIn

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mn2PdIn, a frustrated inverse Heusler alloy, showing electronic‐structure driven anomalous Hall effect with Weyl crossings, Fermi‐surface nesting and near‐zero magnetization ideal for low‐magnetization spintronics. Abstract Noncollinear magnets with near‐zero net magnetization and nontrivial bulk electronic topology hold significant promise for ...

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Isotonic Design for Phase I Clinical Trials: Can We Improve Further?

Austrian Journal of Statistics, 2019
One of the most challenging tasks in clinical trials is finding the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to be tested in the next phase. An assurance for the safety of the patients and recommendation of a suitable dose for phase II are the main objectives of a ...
