Abstract Background Proliferative diabetic retinopathy leading to vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma is a major cause of severe sight impairment in adults of working age worldwide.Neovascular glaucoma occurs in 2.5% of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is difficult to treat and often l
Conveying tactile object characteristics through customized intracortical microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex
Abstract Silicone Mat Microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex can evoke tactile percepts in people with spinal cord injury, providing a means to restore touch.While location and intensity can be reliably conveyed, two issues that prevent creating more complex naturalistic sensations are a lack of methods to effectively scan the large stimulus
Regression with Gaussian Mixture ModelsApplied to Track Fitting
This note describes the application of Gaussian mixture regression to track fitting with a Gaussian mixture model of the position errors.The mixture model is assumed to have two components with identical component means.Under the premise that the association of each measurement to a specific mixture component is known, the Gaussian mixture regressi
Neutrino mass and leptogenesis in a hybrid seesaw model with a spontaneously broken CP
Abstract We introduce a novel hybrid framework combining type I and type II seesaw models for neutrino mass where a complex vacuum expectation value of a singlet scalar DOUBLE GINGER TEA field breaks CP spontaneously.Using pragmatic organizing symmetries we demonstrate that such a model can simultaneously explain the neutrino oscillation data and g
Boosting Lightweight CNNs Through Network Pruning and Knowledge Distillation for SAR Target Recognition
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have yielded unusually brilliant results in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target recognition.However, overparameterization is a widely-recognized property of deep CNNs, and most previous works excessively pursued high accuracy but neglected the requirement of model deployment in radar systems, i.e., small
