Hemodynamic evaluation using four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging for a patient with multichanneled aortic dissection
The hemodynamic function of multichanneled aortic dissection (MCAD) requires close monitoring and effective management to avoid potentially catastrophic sequelae. This report describes a 47-year-old man who underwent endovascular repair based on findings from four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging of an MCAD. The acquired 4D flow data revealed complex, bidirectional flow patterns in the false lumens and accelerated blood flow in the compressed true lumen. The collapsed abdominal true lumen expanded unsatisfactorily after primary tear repair, which required further remodeling with bare stents. This case study demonstrates that hemodynamic analysis using 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging can help understand the complex pathologic changes of MCAD
Revisiting B_s\to\mu^+\mu^- and B\to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- decays in the MSSM with and without R-parity
The rare decays B_s -> \mu^+\mu^- and B -> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^- are sensitive to
new particles and couplings via their interferences with the standard model
contributions. Recently, the upper bound on B(B_s -> \mu^+\mu^-) has been
improved significantly by the CMS, LHCb, CDF, and D{\O} experiments. Combining
with the measurements of B(B-> K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-), we derive constraints on the
relevant parameters of minimal supersymmetic standard model with and without
R-parity, and examine their contributions to the dimuon forward-backward
asymmetry in B-> K^{*}\mu^+\mu^- decay. We find that (i) the contribution of
R-parity violating coupling products
\lambda^{\prime}_{2i2}\lambda^{\prime*}_{2i3} due to squark exchange is
comparable with the theoretical uncertainties in B-> K \mu^+\mu^- decay, but
still could be significant in B-> K^{*}\mu^+\mu^- decay and could account for
the forward-backward asymmetry in all dimuon invariant mass regions; (ii) the
constrained mass insertion (\delta^{u}_{LL})_{23} could have significant
contribution to dA_{FB}(B-> K^{*}\mu^+\mu^-)/ds, and such effects are favored
by thr recent results of the Belle, CDF, and LHCb experiments.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures, published versio
Channel Pruning Guided by Classification Loss and Feature Importance
In this work, we propose a new layer-by-layer channel pruning method called
Channel Pruning guided by classification Loss and feature Importance (CPLI). In
contrast to the existing layer-by-layer channel pruning approaches that only
consider how to reconstruct the features from the next layer, our approach
additionally take the classification loss into account in the channel pruning
process. We also observe that some reconstructed features will be removed at
the next pruning stage. So it is unnecessary to reconstruct these features. To
this end, we propose a new strategy to suppress the influence of unimportant
features (i.e., the features will be removed at the next pruning stage). Our
comprehensive experiments on three benchmark datasets, i.e., CIFAR-10,
ImageNet, and UCF-101, demonstrate the effectiveness of our CPLI method.Comment: AAAI202
