Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks
The central building block of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is the convolution operator, which enables networks to construct informative features by fusing both spatial a...
Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices
This paper presents a simple model for such processes as spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band." These processes involve transport in a lattice which is in some sen...
Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet
Crossing the boundaries in global sustainability The planetary boundary (PB) concept, introduced in 2009, aimed to define the environmental limits within which humanity can safe...
Two-dimensional atomic crystals
We report free-standing atomic crystals that are strictly 2D and can be viewed as individual atomic planes pulled out of bulk crystals or as unrolled single-wall nanotubes. By u...
Semiconductor Clusters, Nanocrystals, and Quantum Dots
Current research into semiconductor clusters is focused on the properties of quantum dots—fragments of semiconductor consisting of hundreds to many thousands of atoms—with the b...
Large-Area Synthesis of High-Quality and Uniform Graphene Films on Copper Foils
Growing Graphene The highest quality graphene samples, single-atom-thick layers of carbon, are suspended flakes exfoliated from graphite, but these samples are very small in siz...
From molecules to solids with the DMol3 approach
Recent extensions of the DMol3 local orbital density functional method for band structure calculations of insulating and metallic solids are described. Furthermore the method fo...
Finding Structure in Time
Time underlies many interesting human behaviors. Thus, the question of how to represent time in connectionist models is very important. One approach is to represent time implici...
An application-specific protocol architecture for wireless microsensor networks
Networking together hundreds or thousands of cheap microsensor nodes allows users to accurately monitor a remote environment by intelligently combining the data from the individ...
