The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a new complex of U(IV) with the tridentate Schiff base ligand Menaphtquinolen are reported. The reduction of the bis-ligand complexes [UX2(Menaphtquinolen) 2] (X = Cl, (1-Cl); I (1-I)) with potassium metal affords the U(IV) co...

We consider the estimation of a signal from the knowledge of its noisy linear random Gaussian projections. A few examples where this problem is relevant are compressed sensing, sparse superposition codes, and code division multiple access. There has been a number of wor...

Abstract Data collected during four heavy rainfall events that occurred in Ardèche (France) with the help of a 2D video disdrometer (2DVD) are used to investigate the structure of the raindrop distribution in both space and time. A first type of analysis is based on the...

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome which frequently accompanies acute or chronic liver disease. It is characterized by a variety of symptoms of different severity such as cognitive deficits and impaired motor functions. Currently, HE is seen as a...

A waterborne latex-based technique has been used to prepare acrylic films with laponite contents up to about 25 vol%. The laponite was attached to the surfaces of the latex particles, giving a cellular arrangement of laponite-rich regions at high laponite contents. Two ...

Visual Question Answering is a new task that can facilitate the extraction of information from images through textual queries: it aims at answering an open-ended question formulated in natural language about a given image. In this work, we introduce a new dataset to tac...

Nostocarboline and seven derivatives were prepared and displayed minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ≥100 nM against the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806, Synechococcus PCC 6911, and Kirchneriella contorta SAG 11.81, probably via the inhibition of pho...

In contrast to multimedia applications that involve human-to-human communication, streaming media over the Internet enjoys relaxed delay constraints. Thus, streaming media servers are at liberty to retransmit missing packets to avoid unnecessary signal corruption. While...
