On the Convergence of a New Conjugate Gradient Algorithm
This paper studies the convergence of a conjugate gradient algorithm proposed in a recent paper by Shanno. It is shown that under loose step length criteria similar to but sligh...

Scheduling Tasks with Nonuniform Deadlines on Two Processors
Given a set @@@@ = { T 1 , T 2 ,···, T n } of tasks, with each T i having execution time 1 and a deadline d i > 0, and a set of precedence constraints which restrict allowabl...
General Route to Multifunctional Uniform Yolk/Mesoporous Silica Shell Nanocapsules: A Platform for Simultaneous Cancer‐Targeted Imaging and Magnetically Guided Drug Delivery
Abstract Hollow mesoporous SiO 2 (mSiO 2 ) nanostructures with movable nanoparticles (NPs) as cores, so‐called yolk‐shell nanocapsules (NCs), have attracted great research inter...
Multivariate Smoothing Spline Functions
Given data $z_i = g(t_i ) + \varepsilon _i , 1 \leqq i \leqq n$, where g is the unknown function, the $t_i $ are known d-dimensional variables in a domain $\Omega $, and the $\v...
Reconstruction in diffraction ultrasound tomography using nonuniform FFT
We show an iterative reconstruction framework for diffraction ultrasound tomography. The use of broad-band illumination allows significant reduction of the number of projections...
Uniformly most powerful Bayesian tests
Uniformly most powerful tests are statistical hypothesis tests that provide the greatest power against a fixed null hypothesis among all tests of a given size. In this article, ...
Analytical Model for the Effect of Surface Charge Nonuniformity on Colloidal Interactions
A closed-form analytical model has been developed to estimate the effect of a nonuniform surface charge distribution on the potential of mean force between two plates or two sph...
Exchange and correlation energy in a nonuniform fermion fluid
Recent results for the surface energy of jelliumlike surfaces are investigated within the functional-density formalism. These results along with first-principles considerations ...
Nanoclusters of Gold on a High-Area Support: Almost Uniform Nanoclusters Imaged by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
Highly dispersed supported gold offers unprecedented catalytic properties. Determination of the dependence of the catalytic properties on the gold nanocluster size requires the ...
