Generative Adversarial Network-Based Edge-Preserving Superresolution Reconstruction of Infrared Images by Yuqing Zhao, Guangyuan Fu, Hongqiao Wang, Shaolei Zhang, Min Yue

“…Aiming at the problems of low resolution and unclear edges of infrared images, this work proposes a two-stage generative adversarial network model to reconstruct realistic superresolution images from four times downsampled infrared images. In the first stage of the generative adversarial network, it focuses on recovering the overall contour information of the image to obtain clear image edges; the second stage of the generative adversarial network focuses on recovering the detailed feature information of the image and has a stronger ability to express details. …”

A Hybrid Multiuser Detector Based on MMSE and AFSA for TDRS System Forward Link by Zhendong Yin, Xu Jiang, Zhilu Wu, Xiaohui Liu

“…The result of MMSE and its modified formations are used as the initial values of artificial fishes to accelerate the speed of global convergence and reduce the iteration times for AFSA. The simulation results show that the bit error ratio and near-far resistance performances of the proposed detector are much better, compared with MF, DEC, and MMSE, and are quite close to OMD. …”

Adaptive temporal-difference learning via deep neural network function approximation: a non-asymptotic analysis by Guoyong Wang, Tiange Fu, Ruijuan Zheng, Xuhui Zhao, Junlong Zhu, Mingchuan Zhang

“…Abstract Although deep reinforcement learning has achieved notable practical achievements, its theoretical foundations have been scarcely explored until recent times. Nonetheless, the rate of convergence for current neural temporal-difference (TD) learning algorithms is constrained, largely due to their high sensitivity to stepsize choices. …”

Dynamics of epidemiological indicators of glaucoma in the Republic of Bashkortostan for the period of 2010–2016 by M.M. Bikbov, A.E. Babushkin, I.I. Khusnitdinov, L. Kh. Murova, E.N. Matyukhina

“…The absolute number of people with primary disabilities with glaucoma was reduced due to high coverage of the population with annual preventive examinations with an increasing number of identified patients suspected of having this disease (6304 vs. 7685) and its primary detection at the initial stages, an increase of antiglaucoma operations (including those performed using drains and non-penetrating technology), a broader purpose and use of modern and effective anti-hypertensive drops, first of all, prostaglandins (2 times) and fixed combinations (1.5 times). In the course of conducted analysis, there was a decrease in patients, who underwent surgical treatment (from 27.9% to 23.7%), blind in one and both eyes (from 17.3% to 12.6%). …”
