Lepton Flavor Violating Decays of Neutral Higgses in Extended Mirror Fermion Model
We perform the one-loop induced charged lepton flavor violating decays of the
neutral Higgses in an extended mirror fermion model with non-sterile
electroweak-scale right-handed neutrinos and a horizontal symmetry in the
lepton sector. We demonstrate that for the 125 GeV scalar there is tension
between the recent LHC result 1% and the
stringent limits on the rare processes and
or from low energy experiments.Comment: 23 pages, 3 figures. Added some of referenc
Value Creation in E-Business: The Case Study of Trend Micro
In this paper, we examine the impact of actor-network field on value creation by integrating the concepts of actor-network and organizational field. In electronic business and commerce, researchers have emphasized the various sources of value creation, yet little attention has been paid to examine the issue from a cognitive or “field” perspective. Using Trend Micro as a case study, the paper demonstrates how a firm can construct a field in the community of Internet to create value and profits. Our approach and analysis are dynamic, rather than static. We show how Trend Micro is able to drive its associated actors, customers and business members to develop an evolutionary, dynamic actor-network field that serves to decrease uncertainty and increase trust. This, in turn, creates a lock-in effect and thus leads to enormous value creation
Torsion of right middle lobe after a right upper lobectomy
Lobar torsion after lung resection is a quite rare complication. A 50-year-old woman presented typical features on chest radiographs and CT(computed tomography) scan of lobar torsion after a right upper lobectomy. After emergency lobectomy of right middle lobe, the patient recovered well and discharged 10 days after the second operation
Use of Fomepizole in Pediatric Methanol Exposure: The First Case Report in Taiwan and a Literature Review
Methanol poisoning is rare in the pediatric population, but a delay in diagnosis and intervention may cause severe morbidity and mortality. The current therapy for methanol poisoning is ethanol or fomepizole, which acts as a competitive inhibitor of hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase to inhibit the production of toxic metabolites derived from the oxidation of methanol. However, clinical experience in pediatric methanol poisoning is limited, and the safety profiles of the antidotes have not been established in children, especially in Asian populations. This is the first case to describe the use of fomepizole in a child with methanol exposure in Taiwan
Electronic and structural fingerprints of charge density wave excitations in extreme ultraviolet transient absorption spectroscopy
Femtosecond core-level transient absorption spectroscopy is utilized to
investigate photoinduced dynamics of the charge density wave in 1T-TiSe2 at the
Ti M2,3 edge (30-50 eV). Photoexcited carriers and phonons are found to
primarily induce spectral red-shifts of core-level excitations, and a carrier
relaxation time and phonon heating time of approximately 360 fs and 1.0 ps are
extracted, respectively. Pronounced oscillations in delay-dependent absorption
spectra are assigned to coherent excitations of the optical phonon
(6.0 THz) and the charge density wave amplitude mode (3.3 THz). By
comparing the measured spectra with time-dependent density functional theory
simulations, we determine the directions of the momentary atomic displacements
of both coherent modes and estimate their amplitudes. This work presents a
first look on charge density wave excitations with table-top core-level
transient absorption spectroscopy, enabling simultaneous access to electronic
and lattice excitation and relaxation
Compressing Transformer-based self-supervised models for speech processing
Despite the success of Transformers in self- supervised learning with
applications to various downstream tasks, the computational cost of training
and inference remains a major challenge for applying these models to a wide
spectrum of devices. Several isolated attempts have been made to compress
Transformers, but the settings and metrics are different across studies.
Trade-off at various compression rates are also largely missing in prior work,
making it difficult to compare compression techniques. In this work, we aim to
provide context for the isolated results, studying several commonly used
compression techniques, including weight pruning, head pruning, low-rank
approximation, and knowledge distillation. We report trade- off at various
compression rate, including wall-clock time, the number of parameters, and the
number of multiply-accumulate operations. Our results show that compared to
recent approaches, basic compression techniques are strong baselines. We
further present several applications of our results, revealing properties of
Transformers, such as the significance of diagonal attention heads. In
addition, our results lead to a simple combination of compression techniques
that improves trade-off over recent approaches. We hope the results would
promote more diverse comparisons among model compression techniques and promote
the use of model compression as a tool for analyzing models. Our code of
compressing speech self-supervised model is available at
