    A Rice’s Theorem for Abstract Semantics

    No full text
    Classical results in computability theory, notably Rice’s theorem, focus on the extensional content of programs, namely, on the partial recursive functions that programs compute. Later and more recent work investigated intensional generalisations of such results that take into account the way in which functions are computed, thus affected by the specific programs computing them. In this paper, we single out a novel class of program semantics based on abstract domains of program properties that are able to capture nonextensional aspects of program computations, such as their asymptotic complexity or logical invariants, and allow us to generalise some foundational computability results such as Rice’s Theorem and Kleene’s Second Recursion Theorem to these semantics. In particular, it turns out that for this class of abstract program semantics, any nontrivial abstract property is undecidable and every decidable overapproximation necessarily includes an infinite set of false positives which covers all values of the semantic abstract domain

    Investigations of the stability and electronic properties of two-dimensional Ga2O3 nanosheet in air from first-principles calculations

    2D Ga2O3 nanosheet with ultra-high carrier mobility and wide bandgap has gained extensively interests due to its great potential in next generation of solar-bind photodetectors, high-power devices, and gas sensors. However, the study of the stability and air-resistance of Ga2O3 nanosheet is scare up to now. Herein, we investigate the stability and electronic properties of Ga2O3 in air through first-principles calculations. It is found that O2 molecule can physisorb on Ga2O3 nanosheet with the binding energy of −0.12 eV, while it is very hard to dissociate spontaneously due to an extremely high dissociation energy barrier of 4.78 eV. The O2 molecule physisorption can introduce extra energy levels in the bandgap and affect the optical properties of Ga2O3 nanosheet. While H2O molecule adsorption has weak effects on the structural and electronic properties of Ga2O3 nanosheet. The high air-resistance of Ga2O3 nanosheet is attributed to the strong charge transfer between the Ga and O ions, which avoids the surplus electrons induced by the dangling bonds to interact with foreign molecules. These theoretical results indicate Ga2O3 nanosheet has extremely high stability to resist oxidation and humid environment, which is a very promising next-generation 2D material for high-power and ultraviolet applications.This work is supported by the Key Research and Development Program of Shaanxi Province (2019ZDLGY16-01), Xi'an Key Laboratory of Intelligent Detection and Perception (201805061ZD12CG45).

    <p>The incompleteness of author names is a well-known issue in the MEDLINE database. It was since 2002, the full author name has been systematically indexed in MEDLINE. Although many full author names have been added to MEDLINE, we still found a significant number of abbreviated names in papers published after 2002.</p> <p>Here we built an enhanced author name dataset for MEDLINE, called EAN,  achieved by linking the whole PubMed to other large literature databases and conducting a large-scale name comparison and restoration with obtained multi-sources author names. Our evaluation shows that more than 90% of author names in EAN are complete as compared to the ratio of ~60% in MEDLINE.</p&gt

    Professor Zhang Weihua's Clinical Experience in the Application of Yongquan Acupoint

    No full text
    Summarizing Professor Zhang Weihua's understanding of the bidirectional regulation function of Yongquan Point and his clinical application experience, the author believes that Yongquan is a meeting place of Yin and Yang qi, and both Yin and Yang qi are rooted here, which can be used to balance Yin and Yang, and proposes that Yongquan is the key point of bidirectional regulation, which has the functions of bidirectional regulation, bidirectional lifting, bidirectional replenishing. At the same time, Professor Zhang believes that Yongquan point should be combined with the corresponding stimulation method in the treatment of different diseases, which provides a new idea for the clinical treatment of some difficult diseases

    From expectation-3-maximization to bayesian expectation-3-maximization: A latent mixture modeling-based bayesian algorithm for the 4-parameter logistic model

    No full text
    There is renewed interest in the four-parameter logistic model (4PLM), but the lack of a user-friendly calibration method constitutes a major barrier to its widespread application. In the present study, this researcher reformulated the 4PLM from a latent mixture modeling view and developed the Expectation-Maximization-Maximization-Maximization (EMMM) method. Combining the EMMM with the Bayesian approach, allowed the Bayesian Expectation-Maximization-Maximization-Maximization (BEMMM) algorithm to be proposed. First, the author compared the EMMM with BEMMM to confirm that the BEMMM method reduced the number of implausible estimates in EMMM. Next, when comparing the BEMMM with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method (Culpepper, 2016) and Bayesian Modal Estimation (Waller & Feuerstahler, 2017), the results from a simulation study and a real-world data calibration indicated that the BEMMM and the MCMC are more accurate than the BME, while the BEMMM is much faster than the MCMC.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Ci Zhang, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-11 at 15:29.The student, Ci Zhang, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-11 at 15:36.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-13 at 11:03.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12194 on 2018-08-31 at 17:27:19Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:03Z (GMT).
