Introduction and Analysis of a Method for the Investigation of QCD-like Tree Data

The properties of decays that take place during jet formation cannot be easily deduced from the final distribution of particles in a detector. In this work, we first simulate a system of particles with well-defined masses, decay channels, and decay probabilities. This presents the “true system” for which we want to reproduce the decay probability distributions. Assuming we only have the data that this system produces in the detector, we decided to employ an iterative method which uses a neural network as a classifier between events produced in the detector by the “true system” and some arbitrary “test system”. In the end, we compare the distributions obtained with the iterative method to the “true” distributions.     

Speaker Recognition Using Constrained Convolutional Neural Networks in Emotional Speech

Speaker recognition is an important classification task, which can be solved using several approaches. Although building a speaker recognition model on a closed set of speakers under neutral speaking conditions is a well-researched task and there are solutions that provide excellent performance, the classification accuracy of developed models significantly decreases when applying them to emotional speech or in the presence of interference. Furthermore, deep models may require a large number of parameters, so constrained solutions are desirable in order to implement them on edge devices in the Internet of Things systems for real-time detection. The aim of this paper is to propose a simple and constrained convolutional neural network for speaker recognition tasks and to examine its robustness for recognition in emotional speech conditions. We examine three quantization methods for developing a constrained network: floating-point eight format, ternary scalar quantization, and binary scalar quantization. The results are demonstrated on the recently recorded SEAC dataset.     

Geometric analysis of a two-body problem with quick loss of mass

Nonlinear Dynamics - We consider a two-body problem with quick loss of mass which was formulated by Verhulst (Verhulst in J Inst Math Appl 18: 87–98, 1976). The corresponding dynamical system...     

Crystal structure of rosmanol-9-ethylether

The title compound: 2H-10,4a-(epoxy-methano)-phenantren-12-one-1,3,4,9,10,10a-hexahydro-5,6-dihydroxy-9-etoxy-1,1-dirnethyl-7-(1-methylethyl), was isolated fromSalvia officinalis L. andHyssopus officinalis L. C₂₂H₃₀O₅, orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, (No. 19)a=8.309(1),b=11.320(2),c=22.060(3) Å,V=2075.0(9) ų,Z=4,D _x=1.199 g·cm^–3, (CuK)=1.54184 Å,=6.43 cm^–1, F(000)=808,T=296(1) K. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined toR=0.047 for 1824 observed reflections collected on a CAD-4 diffractometer. In the course of structure refinement conformational disorder of the isopropyl moiety and the terminal methyl group pertaining to the ethoxy ligand was established. They result altogether in four different conformers.Alternatively it can be termed 9-ethoxyrosmanol.

Synthesis of Gossypol Analogues

Two gossypol analogues 2a and 2b were synthesized for biological evaluation as male contraceptive agents. The naphthol 8c was prepared by analogy with a known procedure starling from 3-isopropylcatechol ( 3 ). (t-Bu)₂O₂-Mediated phenolic coupling of 8c furnished the binaphthol 9c which, after pyrane ring closure, deprotection. and selective bisformylation with SnCl₄/Cl₂CHOCH₃, gave the target compound 2a . The corresponding tetrahydroxy analogue 2b was prepared in a similar way.     

Analysis of calcium, oxalate, and citrate interaction in idiopathic calcium urolithiasis in children

The majority of urinary stones in children are composed of calcium oxalate. To investigate the interaction between urinary calcium, oxalate, and citrate as major risk factors for calcium stones formation, their 24-h urinary excretion was determined in 30 children with urolithiasis and 15 normal healthy children. The cutoff points between children with urolithiasis and healthy children, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for each risk factor alone as well as for all three taken together were determined. OneR and J4.8 classifiers as parts of the larger data mining software Weka, based on machine learning algorithms, were used for the determination of the cutoff points for differentiation of the children. The decision tree based on J4.8 classifier analysis of all three risk factors together proved to be the best for differentiating stone formers from normal children. In comparison to the accuracy of the differentiation after calcium and oxalate of 80% and 75.6%, respectively, the decision tree showed an accuracy of 97.8%. Even when its stability was tested by the leave-one-out cross-validation procedure, the accuracy remained at a very acceptable percentage of 93.2% correctly classified patients. J4.8 classifier analysis gave a look inside urinary calcium, oxalate, and citrate interaction. Urinary calcium excretion was shown as the most informative in discrimination of the children with urolithiasis from healthy children. However, it was shown that oxalate and citrate excretions might influence the stone formation in a subpopulation of the stone formers. In patients with low urinary calcium, a major role in lithogenesis belongs to oxalate, in some of them alone and in others in conjunction with citrate. Decreased urinary citrate excretion in the presence of increased oxalate excretion may lead to stone formation.
