From Melanocyte to Metastatic Malignant Melanoma by Bizhan Bandarchi, Linglei Ma, Roya Navab, Arun Seth, Golnar Rasty

“…There is a complex interaction of environmental (exogenous) and endogenous, including genetic, risk factors in developing malignant melanoma. 8–12% of familial melanomas occur in a familial setting related to mutation of the CDKN2A gene that encodes p16. The aim of this is to briefly review the microanatomy and physiology of the melanocytes, epidemiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, historical classification and histopathology and, more in details, the most recent discoveries in biology and genetics of malignant melanoma. …”

Enhanced overloaded code division multiple access for network on chip by Behnam Vakili, Morteza Gholipour

“…On the other hand, one drawback is that the number of transmitters is limited to the number of encoding bits. In this study, the authors used the combination of Walsh codes and their inverses, as well as the simultaneous application of the time‐division multiple access (TDMA) method, to increase the transmission capacity of this protocol more than four times the standard mode. …”

Two-way relaying protocol tailored for sensor network by Qing-feng ZHOU, Zhi-zhong DING, Cai-hong KAI

“…A three-time-slot two-way relaying protocol,named as two-way selective decode-and-forward (TW-SDF) protocol,was proposed.This relaying protocol integrates network coding and the selective decode-and-forward method,and was tailored for wireless networks with simple devices,like sensor networks.Compared with the well-known physical-layer network coding protocol,the considered TW-SDF has the merits of full diversity order gain,low encoding and decoding complexity and easy-to-implement.Provided block codes,an upper bound on the block error rate of TW-SDF was derived and proved,which is valid for all hard decoders.Simulation results further verify that the upper bound is remarkably tight if BCH codes are utilized.…”

Burgers’ Equations in the Riemannian Geometry Associated with First-Order Differential Equations by Z. Ok Bayrakdar, T. Bayrakdar

“…In the case of PDEs, we show that the scalar curvature of a three-dimensional manifold encoding a system of first-order PDEs is determined in terms of the integrability condition and the Gaussian curvatures of the surfaces corresponding to the integral curves of the vector fields which are annihilated by the contact form. …”

"Narrative Cloggers": Notes on Description and Subversion in Nicholson Baker’s Fiction by Françoise Sammarcelli

“…The essay focuses on three of Baker’s novels and comments on the evolution in Baker’s work between 1988 and 2003, from the exuberant description of objects in The Mezzanine (1988), to a more intimate rehistoricizing of the object as a trace of the narrator’s experience as a family man in Room Temperature (1990), to the repeated encoding of daily life as an ever-renewed mystery in A Box of Matches (2003).Dwelling on the various strategies at work in Baker’s descriptions (such as his frequent experiment with conjunction and disjunction, or his particular use of metaphor and metonymy), this paper also shows how the humorous defamiliarization of the visible contributes to the resistance of the texts. …”

A ranking hashing algorithm based on listwise supervision by Anbang YANG, Jiangbo QIAN, Yihong DONG, Huahui CHEN

“…Recently,learning to hash technology has been used for the similarity search of large-scale data.It can simultaneous increase the search speed and reduce the storage cost through transforming the data into binary codes.At present,most ranking hashing algorithms compare the consistency of data in the Euclidean space and the Hamming space to construct the loss function.However,because the Hamming distance is a discrete integer value,there may be many data points sharing the same Hamming distance result in the exact ranking cannot be performed.To address this challenging issue,the encoded data was divided into several subspaces with the same length.Each subspace was set with different weights.The Hamming distance was calculated according to different subspace weights.The experimental results show that this algorithm can effectively sort the data in the Hamming space and improve the accuracy of the query compared with other learning to hash algorithms.…”
