Multilevel weighted least squares polynomial approximation

Fabio Nobile

Weighted least squares polynomial approximation uses random samples to determine projections of functions onto spaces of polynomials. It has been shown that, using an optimal distribution of sample locations, the number of samples required to achieve quasi ...

Removing imaging systematics from galaxy clustering measurements with Obiwan: application to the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey emission-line galaxy sample

Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

This work presents the application of a new tool, Obiwan, which uses image simulations to determine the selection function of a galaxy redshift survey and calculate three-dimensional (3D) clustering statistics. Obiwan relies on a forward model of the proce ...

Hold me tight! Influence of discriminative features on deep network boundaries

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez, Apostolos Modas

Important insights towards the explainability of neural networks reside in the characteristics of their decision boundaries. In this work, we borrow tools from the field of adversarial robustness, and propose a new perspective that relates dataset features ...

Siloxane compounds in biogas from manure and mixed organic waste: Method development and speciation analysis with GC-ICP-MS

Christian Ludwig, Debora Foppiano, Mohamed Tarik

A novel method for the determination of linear and cyclic siloxane compounds (L2, L3, D3, D4, D5, and D6) in biogas was developed by combining gas chromatography (GC) with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Using a continuous liquid que ...

Measurement of the charm-mixing parameter y(CP) in D-0 -> K-S(0)omega decays at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

We report the first measurement of the charm-mixing parameter y(CP) in D-0 decays to the CP-odd final state K-S(0 omega). The study uses the full Belle e(+)e(-) annihilation data sample of 976 fb(-1) taken at or near the gamma (4S) centre-of-mass energy. W ...

First search for the decays at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Lei Li

The first dedicated search for the eta(c2)(1D) is carried out using the decays B+-> eta(c2)(1D)K+, B-0 -> eta(c2)(1D)KS0 with eta(c2)(1D) -> h(c)gamma. No significant signal is found. For the eta(c2)(1D) mass range between 3795 and 3845 MeV/c(2), the branc ...

Dynamic Modeling and Control of a Coupled Reforming/Combustor System for the Production of H2 via Hydrocarbon-Based Fuels

Theodoros Damartzis

The present work aims to provide insights into the dynamic operation of a coupled reformer/combustion unit that can utilize a variety of saturated hydrocarbons (HCs) with 1–4 C atoms towards H2 production (along with CO2). Within this concept, a preselecte ...

Optimization and Generalization of Shallow Neural Networks with Quadratic Activation Functions

Lenka Zdeborová

p>We study the dynamics of optimization and the generalization properties of one-hidden layer neural networks with quadratic activation function in the overparametrized regime where the layer width m is larger than the input dimension d. We conside ...

New Evidence for Ag-Sputtered Materials Inactivating Bacteria by Surface Contact without the Release of Ag Ions: End of a Long Controversy?

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The study provides new evidence for Ag-coated polyester (PES) mediating Escherichia colt inactivation by way of genetically engineered E. coli (without porins, from now denoted porinless bacteria). This allows the quantification of the bactericidal kinetic ...
