Numerical methods for stochastic differential equations based on Gaussian mixture
We develop in this work a numerical method for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with weak second order accuracy based on Gaussian mixture. Unlike the conventional higher order schemes for SDEs based on It\^o-Tayl... -

<jats:p>Treatment options for drug-resistant CMV are limited. Letermovir is a novel antiviral recently approved for CMV prophylaxis following hematopoietic cell transplantation, but efficacy in other settings is unknown. ... -
Stabilizer Slicing: Coherent Error Cancellations in Low-Density Parity-Check Stabilizer Codes.
(Physical review letters, 2018-12)Coherent errors are a dominant noise process in many quantum computing architectures. Unlike stochastic errors, these errors can combine constructively and grow into highly detrimental overrotations. To combat this, we introduce ... -

Comparison of gain-like properties of eye position signals in inferior colliculus versus auditory cortex of primates.
(Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2010-01)We evaluated to what extent the influence of eye position in the auditory pathway of primates can be described as a gain field. We compared single unit activity in the inferior colliculus (IC), core auditory cortex (A1) ... -
Subjective experience of sensation in anorexia nervosa.
(Behaviour research and therapy, 2013-06)The nature of disturbance in body experience in anorexia nervosa (AN) remains poorly operationalized despite its prognostic significance. We examined the relationship of subjective reports of sensitivity to and behavioral ... -
Effects of Initial Eye Position on Saccades Evoked by Microstimulation in the Primate Superior Colliculus: Implications for Models of the SC Read-Out Process.
(Frontiers in integrative neuroscience, 2011-01-19)The motor layers of the superior colliculus (SC) are thought to specify saccade amplitude and direction, independent of initial eye position. However, recent evidence suggests that eye position can modulate the level of ... -
