Clear cell ependymoma of the fourth ventricle.

Two cases of clear cell ependymoma (CCE) of the fourth ventricle are reported in a 49-year-old woman with dysphagia and a 59-year-old woman with dizziness and gait disturbance. CCE is a relatively new variant of ependymoma added to the WHO classification of tumors in 1993. Tumor cells display an oligodendroglioma-like appearance with a clear perinuclear halo. Most infratentorial CCE tumors are located in the cerebellum. There are only three cases, including the present two cases, that have been reported to affect the fourth ventricle.

A functions localized neural network with branch gates.

In this paper, a functions localized network with branch gates (FLN-bg) is studied, which consists of a basic network and a branch gate network. The branch gate network is used to determine which intermediate nodes of the basic network should be connected to the output node with a gate coefficient ranging from 0 to 1. This determination will adjust the outputs of the intermediate nodes of the basic network depending on the values of the inputs of the network in order to realize a functions localized network. FLN-bg is applied to function approximation problems and a two-spiral problem. The simulation results show that FLN-bg exhibits better performance than conventional neural networks with comparable complexity.
