TL;DR: This work proposes a new theoretical setting based on the mathematical framework of hierarchical Bayesian inference for reasoning about the visual system, and suggests that the algorithms of particle filtering and Bayesian-belief propagation might model these interactive cortical computations.
Abstract: Traditional views of visual processing suggest that early visual neurons in areas V1 and V2 are static spatiotemporal filters that extract local features from a visual scene. The extracted information is then channeled through a feedforward chain of modules in successively higher visual areas for further analysis. Recent electrophysiological recordings from early visual neurons in awake behaving monkeys reveal that there are many levels of complexity in the information processing of the early visual cortex, as seen in the long-latency responses of its neurons. These new findings suggest that activity in the early visual cortex is tightly coupled and highly interactive with the rest of the visual system. They lead us to propose a new theoretical setting based on the mathematical framework of hierarchical Bayesian inference for reasoning about the visual system. In this framework, the recurrent feedforward/feedback loops in the cortex serve to integrate top-down contextual priors and bottom-up observations so as to implement concurrent probabilistic inference along the visual hierarchy. We suggest that the algorithms of particle filtering and Bayesian-belief propagation might model these interactive cortical computations. We review some recent neurophysiological evidences that support the plausibility of these ideas.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analogy or a simulation is pointed out between the Weyl fermion theory and gapless semiconductors where two energy bands have pointlike degeneracies, showing that in the presence of parallel electric and strong magnetic fields, there exists an effect similar to the ABJ anomaly that is the movement of the electrons in the energy-momentum space from the neighborhood of one degeneracy point to another one.

TL;DR: This paper presents a class of TVB (total variation bounded) discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for solving conservation laws ut+Σi=1d(fi(u)xi=0.1d) using a 1-dimensional system as a model, and discusses different implementation techniques and theories analogous to scalar cases proven for linear systems.

Abstract: This paper reviews, appraises, and critiques theoretical and empirical research on the connections between the operation of the financial system and economic growth. While subject to ample qualifications and countervailing views, the preponderance of evidence suggests that both financial intermediaries and markets matter for growth and that reverse causality alone is not driving this relationship. Furthermore, theory and evidence imply that better developed financial systems ease external financing constraints facing firms, which illuminates one mechanism through which financial development influences economic growth. The paper highlights many areas needing additional research.
