Relations between randomness deficiencies [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The notion of random sequence was introduced by Martin-Loef in 1966. At the same time he defined the so-called randomness deficiency function that shows how close are random sequences to non-random (in some natural sense). Other deficiency functions can be obtained from the Levin-Schnorr theorem, that describes randomness in terms of Kolmogorov ...

Hyperspectral Raman imaging to understand patterns in dried biofluids in Alzheimer's disease
VIEW, EarlyView.Raman spectroscopy is commonly used to identify biomarkers in biological fluids, often focusing on the outer ring of dried droplets due to molecular accumulation from the coffee ring effect. However, this approach may overlook important spectral information, so hyperspectral Raman mapping is used to analyze the entire droplet and identify optimal ...

Therapeutic advances in the management of Pompe disease and other metabolic myopathies
Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders, 2013 The world of metabolic myopathies has been dramatically modified by the advent of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), the first causative treatment for glycogenosis type II (GSDII) or Pompe disease, which has given new impetus to research into that disease

Non-linear functionals, deficient topological measures, and representation theorems on locally compact spaces [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We study non-linear functionals, including quasi-linear functionals, p-conic quasi-linear functionals, d-functionals, r-functionals, and their relationships to deficient topological measures and topological measures on locally compact spaces. We prove representation theorems and show, in particular, that there is an order-preserving, conic-linear ...

A narrative literature review about alpha‐lipoic acid role in dry eye and ocular surface disease
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Ocular surface diseases (OSD) include various conditions that affect the eye's surface, causing discomfort and pain. One such condition, dry eye disease (DED), is a multifactorial disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, with prevalence rates ranging from 5% to 50% and higher incidence in women.

On weight and variance uncertainty in neural networks for regression tasks [PDF]
arXivWe consider the problem of weight uncertainty proposed by [Blundell et al. (2015). Weight uncertainty in neural network. In International conference on machine learning, 1613-1622, PMLR.] in neural networks {(NNs)} specialized for regression tasks. {We further} investigate the effect of variance uncertainty in {their model}.
