Normalizing the Normalizers: Comparing and Extending Network Normalization Schemes [PDF]
Normalization techniques have only recently begun to be exploited in supervised learning tasks. Batch normalization exploits mini-batch statistics to normalize the activations. This was shown to speed up training and result in better models. However its success has been very limited when dealing with recurrent neural networks.

The authority of a souverain no longer seems important if one wants to analyse complex modern democratic societies. At the same time, one can observe an increasing desire for authority in social and political life, a longing for orientation and guidance.

We examine Becker's (1960) contention that children are "normal." For the cross section of non-Hispanic white married couples in the U.S., we show that when we restrict comparisons to similarly-educated women living in similarly-expensive locations, completed fertility is positively correlated with the husband's income.

Normal ordering normal modes [PDF]
AbstractIn a soliton sector of a quantum field theory, it is often convenient to expand the quantum fields in terms of normal modes. Normal mode creation and annihilation operators can be normal ordered, and their normal ordered products have vanishing expectation values in the one-loop soliton ground state.

Concern for the state: ‘Normality’, state effect and distributional claims in Serbia [PDF]
Ethnographies of the post-Yugoslav region often focus on the production of the ‘state effect’ through narratives of statelessness, namely on the normative imagination evident in the yearnings for ‘normal life’. Drawing from fieldwork research in

Normal, Abby Normal, Prefix Normal [PDF]
A prefix normal word is a binary word with the property that no substring has more 1s than the prefix of the same length. This class of words is important in the context of binary jumbled pattern matching. In this paper we present results about the number $pnw(n)$ of prefix normal words of length $n$, showing that $pnw(n) = \left(2^{n - c\sqrt{n\ln n}}

Purity or perversion? from taboo to fact: kindergarten teachers’ reflections on age-normal sexuality
Many educators and pedagogues around the world face challenging situations in their everyday work. Being caught off guard when children begin to explore their bodies and show curiosity about body parts and sexual issues is one of the most uncomfortable ...

The normality and sum of normalities of trees [PDF]
The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum distance from $v$ to any other vertex. The vertices whose eccentricity are equal to the diameter (the maximum eccentricity) of $G$ are called peripheral vertices. In trees the eccentricity at $v$ can always be achieved by the distance from $v$ to a peripheral vertex.

Reference values and the problem of health as normality: a veterinary attempt in the light of a one health approach [PDF]
Reference values seem crucial to both veterinary medicine and human medicine. The main critique is that the theoretical connections between the concepts of reference values, normality, and health are weak. In this paper, we analyze especially one attempt
