Objectives Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation is involved in Alzheimer’s disease
(AD) pathology. This study quantitatively summarised the data on peripheral inflammatory …

We review topics of current interest in the physics of electronic, atomic and molecular
scattering in the vicinity of thresholds. Starting from phase space arguments, we discuss the …

A summary is presented of the statistical mechanical theory of learning a rule with a neural
network, a rapidly advancing area which is closely related to other inverse problems …

eROSITA (extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) is the primary
instrument on the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission, which was successfully launched …

The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a fully-automated, wide-field survey aimed at a
systematic exploration of the optical transient sky. The transient survey is performed using a new …

Soft-γ-ray repeaters (SGRs) are galactic X-ray stars that emit numerous short-duration (about
0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays during sporadic active periods. They are thought to be …

This paper presents a comparison study between 10 automatic and six interactive methods
for liver segmentation from contrast-enhanced CT images. It is based on results from the “…

The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) is a wide-field experiment designed to investigate the
optical transient and variable sky on time scales from minutes to years. PTF uses the CFH12k …

Quantum discord, a kind of quantum correlation, is defined as the difference between
quantum mutual information and classical correlation in a bipartite system. In general, this …

Over the past decade, long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs)—including the subclass of X-ray
flashes (XRFs)—have been revealed 1 , 2 , 3 to be a rare variety of type Ibc supernova. …
