Conceptual short term memory in perception and thought
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-04)
Conceptual short term memory (CSTM) is a theoretical construct that provides one answer to the question of how perceptual and conceptual processes are related. CSTM is a mental buffer and processor in which current perceptual ...
A 0.077 to 0.168 nJ/bit/iteration Scalable 3GPP LTE Turbo Decoder with an Adaptive Sub-Block Parallel Scheme and an Embedded DVFS Engine
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-09)
3GPP LTE requires a 100 Mbps of peak bandwidth, and the instantaneous throughput demand changes with different applications. Fixed sub-block parallel turbo decoding scheme introduces bit-error rate (BER) performance drop ...
Measuring active-to-sterile neutrino oscillations with neutral current coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering
(American Physical Society, 2012-07)
Light sterile neutrinos have been introduced as an explanation for a number of oscillation signals at Δm[superscript 2]∼1 eV[superscript 2]. Neutrino oscillations at relatively short baselines provide a probe of these ...
Metagenomic mining of regulatory elements enables programmable species-selective gene expression
(Springer Nature, 2018-03)
Robust and predictably performing synthetic circuits rely on the use of well-characterized regulatory parts across different genetic backgrounds and environmental contexts. Here we report the large-scale metagenomic mining ...
Automatic prediction of consistency among team members' understanding of group decisions in meetings
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-12)
Occasionally, participants in a meeting can leave with different understandings of what had been discussed. For meetings that require immediate response (such as disaster response planning), the participants must share a ...
Coded continuous wave meteor radar
(Copernicus GmbH, 2016-03)
The concept of a coded continuous wave specular meteor radar (SMR) is described. The radar uses a continuously transmitted pseudorandom phase-modulated waveform, which has several advantages compared to conventional pulsed ...
On fairness in decision-making under uncertainty: Definitions, computation, and comparison
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2015-01)
The utilitarian solution criterion, which has been extensively studied in multi-agent decision making under uncertainty, aims to maximize the sum of individual utilities. However, as the utilitarian solution often discriminates ...
Fairness in Multi-Agent Sequential Decision-Making
(Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation Inc., 2014-12)
We define a fairness solution criterion for multi-agent decision-making problems, where agents have local interests. This new criterion aims to maximize the worst performance of agents with consideration on the overall ...
Regioselective Synthesis of Benzimidazolones via Cascade C–N Coupling of Monosubstituted Ureas
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-06)
A direct method for the regioselective construction of benzimidazolones is reported wherein a single palladium catalyst is employed to couple monosubstituted urea substrates with differentially substituted 1,2-dihaloaromatic ...
Helium: lifting high-performance stencil kernels from stripped x86 binaries to halide DSL code
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2015-06)
Highly optimized programs are prone to bit rot, where performance quickly becomes suboptimal in the face of new hardware and compiler techniques. In this paper we show how to automatically lift performance-critical stencil ...
