Polarographic Studies of Human Blood Sera

R. BrdiEka, in 1937, in a note to the editor of Nature (1), reported the application of the polarographic method to cancer diagnosis, through the measurement of certain sulphur-containing amino acids present in the proteins in human blood serum. Brdicka made tests on the serum from 67 different persons; 32 of these gave an abnormally low polarographic protein effect. These 32 cases were shown b...

Immunological studies of coagulation factor XIII.

Human fibrin-stabilizing factor (Factor XIII) has been studied immunologically by the preparation of specific anti-Factor XIII antiserum in rabbits. On immunodiffusion it was found that normal plasma produced two precipitin lines. One of the precipitin lines was identical with that present in soluble platelet extract (the alpha-component), the other with that present in normal serum (beta-compo...

X-ray studies on phospholipid bilayers. XIII. Interactions with gentamicin.

This study deals with the structural perturbations that the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin (GENT) can produce to phospholipid bilayers. Two multi-bilayer systems, one built-up of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and the other of dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) were allowed to interact with GENT. The experiments were performed in both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic medium ...

Andrew Ng Part XIII Reinforcement Learning and Control

We now begin our study of reinforcement learning and adaptive control. In supervised learning, we saw algorithms that tried to make their outputs mimic the labels y given in the training set. In that setting, the labels gave an unambiguous “right answer” for each of the inputs x. In contrast, for many sequential decision making and control problems, it is very difficult to provide this type of ...
