The progress in nanofabrication has made possible the realization of optic nanodevices able to handle single photons and to exploit the quantum nature of single-photon states. In particular, quantum cryptography (or more precisely quantum key distribution, ...
A longstanding problem in the study of sediment transport in gravel-bed rivers is related to the physical mechanisms governing bed resistance and particle motion. To study this problem, we investigated the motion of coarse spherical glass beads entrained b ...
We present a general method for maintaining estimates of the distribution of parameters in arbitrary models. This is then applied to the estimation of probability distributions over actions in value-based reinforcement learning. While this approach is simi ...
It was found recently that processes of multidimensional tunneling are generally described at high energies by unstable semiclassical trajectories. We study two observational signatures related to the instability of trajectories. First, we find an addition ...

Most discriminative techniques for detecting instances from object categories in still images consist of looping over a partition of a pose space with dedicated binary classifiers. The efficiency of this strategy for a complex pose, i.e., for fine-grained ...
It is known that thermal perception influences occupants’ adaptive actions in buildings which in turn influence their thermal satisfaction. During recent years there has thus been a growing interest in the development of models which predict occupants ther ...
We show how two-dimensional chemical shift conditional probability distributions can be extracted from experimental NMR correlation spectra of disordered solids. We show that transverse dephasing times are of central importance in determining the resolutio ...

In this work, we derive a near-optimal combination rule for adaptation over networks. To do so, we first establish a useful result pertaining to the steady-state distribution of the estimator of an LMS filter. Specifically, under small step-sizes and some ...
