Physical computational devices leak side-channel information that may, and often does, reveal secret internal states. We present a general transformation that compiles any circuit into a circuit with the same functionality but resilience against well-defin ...
Although the production and use of technical hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and lindane (the purified insecticidal isomer -HCH) are prohibited in most countries, residual concentrations still constitute an immense environmental burden. Many studies describe t ...
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a key platform chemical that may be obtained from various cellulosic (biomass) derivatives. Previously, it has been shown that ionic liquids (ILs) facilitate the catalytic conversion of glucose into HMF. Herein, we demonstr ...
A compelling method to calibrate the positions of microphones in an array is with sources at unknown locations. Remarkably, it is possible to reconstruct the locations of both the sources and the receivers, if their number is larger than some prescribed mi ...
We present a methodology for determining stress distributions ahead of blunt notches in plates of fiber-reinforced ceramic–matrix composites subject to uniaxial tensile loading, accounting for the effects of inelastic straining due to matrix cracking. The ...
The analysis of collections of visual data, e.g., their classification, modeling and clustering, has become a problem of high importance in a variety of applications. Meanwhile, image data captured in uncontrolled environments by arbitrary users is very li ...
Manifold models provide low-dimensional representations that are useful for processing and analyzing data in a transformation-invariant way. In this paper, we study the problem of learning smooth pattern transformation manifolds from image sets that are ob ...

We propose an algorithmic framework for convex minimization problems of a composite function with two terms: a self-concordant function and a possibly nonsmooth regularization term. Our method is a new proximal Newton algorithm that features a local quadra ...
In this note we present a method to compute approximate descriptions of a class of stochastic systems. For the method to apply, the system must be presented as a Markov chain on a state space consisting in graphs or graph-like objects, and jumps must be de ...
Vocal tract length normalisation (VTLN) is a well known rapid adaptation technique. VTLN as a linear transformation in the cepstral domain results in the scaling and translation factors. The warping factor represents the spectral scaling parameter. While, ...
