Traditional experimental implementations need N2 units such as Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) for an input dimension N to realize typical computing operations (convolutions and matrix multiplication), resulting in limited scalability and consuming excessive power. Here, we propose the integrated diffractive optical network for implementing parallel Fourier transforms, convolution operations and application-specific optical computing using two ultracompact diffractive cells (Fourier transform operation) and only N MZIs. The footprint and energy consumption scales linearly with the input data dimension, instead of the quadratic scaling in the traditional ONN framework. A ~10-fold reduction in both footprint and energy consumption, as well as equal high accuracy with previous MZI-based ONNs was ...

Conventional digital electronic computing platforms are incapable of executing truly complex-valued representations and operations. In contrast, optical computing platforms that encode information in both phase and magnitude can execute complex arithmetic by optical interference, offering significantly enhanced computational speed and energy efficiency. However, to date, most demonstrations of optical neural networks still only utilize conventional real-valued frameworks that are designed for digital computers, forfeiting many of the advantages of optical computing such as efficient complex-valued operations. In this article, we highlight an optical neural chip (ONC) that implements truly complex-valued neural networks. We benchmark the performance of our complex-valued ONC in four settings: simple Boolean tasks, species classification of an Iris dataset, classifying nonlinear datasets (Circle a...

Most of existing fingerprint datasets are very large (>1 million fingerprints). • In some cases other attributes such as race, gender, age, soft biometrics are introduces in the database, which allows partitioning of the dataset into smaller subsets. However, in most cases the data are fingerprints only. • Comparison of an on-line acquired fingerprint with all fingerprints in the database is computationally expensive (FBI dataset has >200 million fingerprints). • A solution to this problem is to divide the database into a number of bins (based on some predefined automatically extracted general fingerprint features). • Classification is referred to the assigning a class in consistent and reliable way. • Fingerprint matching is based on local features while fingerprint classification is based on global features, such as global ridge patter and singularities.

This makes channel fusion a crucial step in color face recognition (FR) systems. However, existing methods simply concatenate channel-wise color features without identifying the importance or reliability of features in different color channels. In this paper, we propose a color channel fusion (CCF) approach using jointly dimension reduction algorithms to select more features from reliable and discriminative channels. Experiments using two different dimension reduction approaches, two different types of features on three image datasets show that CCF achieves consistently better performance than color channel concatenation (CCC) method which deals with different color channels equally.

Improved estimation of regional input-output tables using cross-regional methods, Regional Studies. Many regional input-output tables are estimated by means of non-survey methods. Often, information on the margins of the projected table is complemented by full information on intermediate inputs from tables for other regions. This paper compares the performance of four of such 'cross-regional' methods. Two of these were already proposed in the literature, whereas the other two are based on recent advances in regression analysis. The methods are tested not only against each other, but also against traditional methods that do not employ cross-regional information. To this end, twenty-seven regional input-output tables for China in 1997 and 2002 are used.

Internal mental calculation tasks including simple tasks and complicated tasks were conducted in 11 normal aged volunteers. The fMRI data was postprocessed using SPM99 to reveal the activated cortex. The simple calculation tasks were fulfilled satisfactorily in all aged subjects. Cortex in the bilateral Superior parietal lobule, inferior parietal lobule and bilateral occipital lobes showed activation. We found a selective enhancement of fMRI signal in Brodmann regions 9, 10 and 46 in the complicated tasks. fMRI tasks are feasible in aged people and more cortex of the left frontal lobe shows activation in complicated calculation tasks.

Gating in this frequency range was accomplished using a matched delay line technique to achieve parasitic transient cancellation, and FPGA-based data acquisition firmware was implemented to provide an efficient, flexible multiple-gate sequencing methodology for obtaining the dependence

We removed the gubernacula from 3-day-old mice with the surgical magnifier and cultured the gubernacular cells. Then we detected the cell viability by trypan blue and cell morphology by HE staining. The subcultured cells were randomly divided into a blank control, a DMSO (0.1%, v/v) control, and 4 experimental groups (given 0.01, 0.10, 1.00 and 10.00 micdrog/ml of diethylstilbestrol [DES] dissolved in DMSO, respectively). After treated for 12, 24 and 48 hours, the gubernacular cells were observed for morphological changes and proliferation inhibition by CCK-8. Most of the cultured gubernacular cells were fibroblasts, and a few were epithelioids. The primary cells showed a viability of 85%-90%. Dose- and time-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation was found in the four experimental groups at three different times, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.01). Gubernacular cells can be cultured in vitro. EEs inhibit the proliferation of gubernacular cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. An in- sight into the effects EES on cultured gubernacular cells is an effective approach to the study of their influence on the development of the reproductive system.
