This paper proposes a new strategy for improving the localization capabilities of linear inverse solutions, based on the relationship between the real solution and the estimated solution as described by the resolution matrix equation. Specifically, we present two alternatives based on either the partial or total inversion of the resolution matrix and applied them to the minimum norm solution, which is known for its poor performance in three-dimensional (3-D) localization problems. The minimum norm transformed inverse showed a clear improvement in 3-D localization. The strong dependence of localization errors with the eccentricity of the sources, characteristic of this solution, disappears after the proposed transformation. A similar effect is illustrated, using a realistic example where multiple generators at striate areas are active. While the original minimum norm incorrectly places the generators at extrastriate cortex, the transformed minimum norm localizes, for the example considered, the sources at their correct eccentricity with very low spatial blurring.

The cost of encoding a system Hamiltonian in a digital quantum computer as a linear combination of unitaries (LCU) grows with the 1-norm of the LCU expansion. The Block Invariant Symmetry Shift (BLISS) technique reduces this 1-norm by modifying the Hamiltonian action on only the undesired electron-number subspaces. Previously, BLISS required a computationally expensive nonlinear optimization that was not guaranteed to find the global minimum.

In general, auto-tuning implementation of PID controllers relies on dual controllers, exciting/identification experiments or some prior knowledge on the process and hence the considerable cost on auto-tuning implementation occurs. To deal with such a problem, a new auto-tuning scheme of the FPID controller is developed for minimum variance tasks under routine operating conditions in which the closed-loop system is running without any external excitation other than natural disturbances. This paper reveals that the stochastic disturbance model can be uniquely determined from the first several terms of the impulse response coefficients of the closed-loop system when the precondition on the time delay and the order of the disturbance model is satisfied.

Objective: This study explores the whole-course neuromagnetic activity changes in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) using multifrequency magnetoencephalogram (MEG) analysis. We aim to uncover the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms and identify functional signal targets with potential clinical applications.
Methods: We recruited 37 drug-naive children with CAE and collected magnetoencephalography (MEG) data from 62 seizures and interictal periods using a CTF-275 channel MEG system.
A laser Fizeau interferometer measures surface form by comparing the wavefronts reflected from a reference surface and the surface under test. The measurement accuracy is limited by the unknown absolute form error of the reference flat. Absolute testing offers a strategy to break through the limitation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the radioactivity and radiological risk of various granites and marbles from Egypt, using a Germanium detector to measure activity levels.
- It found that granite samples had significantly higher levels of radioactivity compared to marble samples, with average activity concentrations for granite exceeding global soil averages.
- The presence of potassium feldspar in granites is attributed to the increased radioactivity, while marbles are considered safer due to their lower potassium and uranium/thorium content.
