Firms use samples to increase the sales of almost all consumable goods. However, product sampling is also expensive. As a result, a firm needs to determine the optimal number of samples that must be available for trial by the innovators, early adopters, and other key co...

This work focuses on exploring the active polysaccharide fraction from Sijunzi decoction (SJZD), which is a classical herbal prescription in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Three polysaccharide fractions (S-1, S-2, S-3) were obtained from SJZD, the effects of which ...

Clustering ensemble refers to combine a number of base clusterings for a particular data set into a consensus clustering solution. In this paper, we propose a novel self-supervised learning framework for clustering ensemble. Specifically, we treat the base clusterings a...

This paper addresses personal E-mail filtering by casting it in the framework of text classification. Modeled as semi-structured documents, Email messages consist of a set of fields with predefined semantics and a number of variable length free-text fields. While most w...

In this note we give a new separation between sensitivity and block sensitivity of Boolean functions: $bs(f)=(2/3)s(f)^2-(1/3)s(f)$.

In non-Hermitian coulped-resonator networks, the eigenvectors of degenerate eigenmodes may become parallel due to the singularity at so-called Exceptional Points (EP). To exploit the parametric sensitivity at EPs, an important problem is, given an arbitrary set of coupl...

AbstractThe heat transfer characteristics between liquid lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) and helium are of great significance for the two-loop cooling system based on an accelerator-driven system (ADS). This paper presents an experimental study on the resistance characteris...

BACKGROUND/AIM Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), a protein with multiple functions in genome stability maintenance, is important in cancer prevention. The two functional germline variants of FEN1, rs174538 and rs4246215, regarding cancer susceptibility have been reported in l...

The paper proposes a new intelligent control method to precisely control the tip motion of the atomic force microscopy (AFM). The tip moves up and down at a high rate along the z direction during scanning, requiring the utilization of a rapid feedback controller. The st...
