China (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region). Remarks. The Y-shaped lobe of the aedeagal tube also demonstrate its placement in the diehli subgroup, including several species mentioned above and Neoperla delphina sp. nov.. However, the two spines at the ends of each fork of the Y-shaped lobe of Neoperla quadrispina sp. nov. could distinguish it from other species in this subgroup.Published as part of Li, Weihai, Mo, Raorao & Wang, Guoquan, 2020, Two new species of Neoperla montivaga group (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China, pp. 573-583 in Zootaxa 4718 (4) on pages 577-581, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4718.4.10, http://zenodo.org/record/360259

    With the development of society and economy, when people meet their needs, they also need to improve their quality of life. Taking part in physical exercise is not only to satisfy people's needs, but also to improve their quality of life. However, author observes that the present situation is that college students are addicted to the Internet and do not want to take part in physical exercise. This paper is about stimulating the interest of college physical training, advising the school take different measures for different types of people. The aim is make more college students take part in physical exercise. The author hopes to find ways to enable college students to take an active role in physical exercise. The author also investigated 105 students from Guangzhou polytechnic of sports. Study show that although most students like physical training, some students are passive in physical exercis

    Universal Approximation to Nonlinear Operators by Neural Networks with Arbitrary Activation Functions and Its Application to Dynamical Systems

    No full text
    The purpose of this paper is to investigate neural network capability systematically. The main results are: (1) Every Tauber-Wiener function is qualified as an activation function in the hidden layer of a three-layered neural network; (2) For a continuous function to be a Tauber-Wiener function, the necessary and sufficient condition is that it is not a polynomial; (3) The capability of approximating nonlinear functionals defined on some Banach space and nonlinear operators has been shown, which implies that (4) we can use neural network computation to approximate the output as a whole (not at a fixed point) of a dynamical system. Key words: Approximation theory, neural networks, dynamical systems, compact set, functional, operator. 1 The author is with the Department of Mathematics, Fudan University, Shanghai, P.R.China. 2 The author was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556, USA.
