A self-made coffin

The Coffin-Lowry syndrome.

The Coffin-Siris syndrome.

We report a white female infant with typical features of Coffin-Siris syndrome including thick eyebrows, flat nasal bridge, anteverted, wide nose tip, generalised hypertrichosis, scalp hypotrichosis, absence of the fifth fingernails and toenails, absence of the distal phalanges of the fifth fingers and of the second to fifth toes, small patellae, inguinal hernia, and sucking and feeding difficu...

Coffin-Siris syndrome.

In 1970 Coffin and Siris described three unrelated female children with severe mental and developmental retardation, sparse scalp hair, and coarse appearing facies with bushy eyebrows, a wide mouth, and thick lips. There were, in addition, lax joints and brachydactyly of the fifth digits of both hands and feet with absence of the nails and terminal phalanges.' To our knowledge, there have been ...

A study on strength and durability of self-compacting concretes made of recycled aggregates

Given the development of construction industry and design and implementation of high rise buildings with complex sections and various geometrical forms, the use of self-compacting concretes has received the attention of construction engineers and provided great advantages. Due to the increasing air pollution in cities, governments encounter the important issue of repelling the pollutants in whi...

COFFIN: A Computational Framework for Linear SVMs

In a variety of applications, kernel machines such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have been used with great success often delivering stateof-the-art results. Using the kernel trick, they work on several domains and even enable heterogeneous data fusion by concatenating feature spaces or multiple kernel learning. Unfortunately, they are not suited for truly large-scale applications since they...
