RMSSD Is More Sensitive to Artifacts Than Frequency-Domain Parameters: Implication in Athletes? Monitoring

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani

Easy-to-use and accurate heart rate variability (HRV) assessments are essential in athletes??? follow-up, but artifacts may lead to erroneous analysis. Artifact detection and correction are the purpose of extensive literature and implemented in dedicated a ...

Trace norm regularization for multi-task learning with scarce data

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Etienne Patrice Boursier, Mikhail Konobeev

Multi-task learning leverages structural similarities between multiple tasks to learn despite very few samples. Motivated by the recent success of neural networks applied to data-scarce tasks, we consider a linear low-dimensional shared representation mode ...

Nonempirical hybrid functionals for advanced electronic-structure calculations

Thomas Bischoff

Electronic-structure calculations based on hybrid functionals have emerged as a standard technique used in physics, chemistry, and material science. Despite this success, hybrid functionals have the drawback of containing undetermined parameters. To overc ...

Global and high-level effects in crowding cannot be predicted by either high-dimensional pooling or target cueing

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Mauro Manassi, Alban Bornet, Oh-Hyeon Choung

In visual crowding, the perception of a target deteriorates in the presence of nearby flankers. Traditionally, target-flanker interactions have been considered as local, mostly deleterious, low-level, and feature specific, occurring when information is poo ...

OdiEnCorp 2.0: Odia-English Parallel Corpus for Machine Translation

Petr Motlicek

The preparation of parallel corpora is a challenging task, particularly for languages that suffer from under-representation in the digital world. In a multi-lingual country like India, the need for such parallel corpora is stringent for several low-resourc ...

Hospital climate actions and assessment tools: a scoping review protocol

Nicola Mary Banwell

Introduction Health and climate change are inexorably linked through the exacerbation of health risks and the contribution of the health sector to greenhouse gas emissions. Climate action in healthcare settings is critical to reduce risks and impacts of cl ...

Restoration of ancient Chinese opera spiral wooden domes, accounts of field practice

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye

The zaojing is a wooden construction system that covers opera stages for rain protection and sound control. Zaojings in China display a diverse range of geometric expressions, delicate manufacturing, structural behaviours, and acoustic qualities. Despite t ...

On machine learning force fields for metallic nanoparticles

Kevin Rossi

Machine learning algorithms have recently emerged as a tool to generate force fields which display accuracies approaching the ones of the ab-initio calculations they are trained on, but are much faster to compute. The enhanced computational speed of machin ...

Strategic Objectives For State-Owned Enterprises As A Means To Mitigate Political Interference: An Empirical Analysis Of Two Swiss State-Owned Enterprises

Matthias Finger, Fabian Liechti

When governments act as owners of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), they are both principal and agent at the same time. The literature on steering SOEs has mainly focused on the government as the principal that must control SOEs. However, the government is a ...

The sources of sovereign risk: a calibration based on Levy stochastic processes

Sylvain Jean Pascal Carré, Daniel Cohen

Governments choose to issue risky or riskless debt depending on the nature of the stochastic process of output. We use Brownian motion and Poisson shocks a modeling method in the literature on corporate default known as Levy processes to approximate a deco ...

Sparse Inverse Problems Over Measures: Equivalence Of The Conditional Gradient And Exchange Methods

Armin Eftekhari

We study an optimization program over nonnegative Borel measures that encourages sparsity in its solution. Efficient solvers for this program are in increasing demand, as it arises when learning from data generated by a "continuum-of-subspaces" model, a re ...

Between the Lines: On the Explicit and Implicit in Writing and Building

Matthew Skjonsberg

Narratives employed when writing about a place and building a place have a central theme in common: both weave between the human, personal and emotional experience of place and the physical, spatial and atmospheric place – a dialogue between the inner and ...

Two sides of the same coin: A population genetics perspective on lethal mutagenesis and mutational meltdown

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

The extinction of RNA virus populations upon application of a mutagenic drug is frequently referred to as evidence for the existence of an error threshold, above which the population cannot sustain the mutational load. To explain the extinction process aft ...
