In the future robots will have to operate autonomously for long periods of time. To achieve this they need to be able to learn directly from their environment without human supervision. The use of clustering methods is one possibility to tackle this challenge. Here we present extensions to affinity propagation, a clustering algorithm proposed by Frey and Dueck [5], which makes it suitable for r...

A series of sorbents containing various amounts of borate groups were prepared by chemical immobilization ofP-aminoethylphenylboric acid on a copolymer- treated organosilane spacer glass plates. It was found thatbaker's yeast cells selectively adhered to these supports. Yeast cells stained with procion red HE-3B formeddenser and more stable layer on the copolymer-grafted supports compared onto ...

Extracellular signals are captured and transmitted by signaling proteins inside a cell. An important type of cellular responses to the signals is the cell fate decision, e.g., apoptosis. However, the underlying mechanisms of cell fate regulation are still unclear, thus comprehensive and detailed kinetic models are not yet available. Alternatively, data-driven models are promising to bridge sign...

Introduction. Methodological approaches and validation of the emergence a new transdisciplinary area -geonics, which is considered as art applying knowledge inorganic world, are presented. Materials methods . The concept technogenic metasomatism stage in evolution building materials, characterized by adaptation composite to changing conditions formulated. Law affinity structures, consists selec...

This book review asserts that Cops Across Borders: The Internationalization of U.S. Criminal Law Enforcement (”Cops Across Borders”) is the first book to attempt a systematic analysis of the role that the United States has played in the field of international law enforcement. For that reason, the book represents a major step forward in understanding this rapidly evolving area. While many people...

I reproduce a rather simple formal derivation of the Heaps’ law from the generalized Zipf’s law, which I previously published in Russian [7].

We present here assessment of the latent market information embedded in the raw, affinity normalized , and partial correlations. We compared the Zipf plot, spectrum, and distribution of the eigenvalues for each matrix with the results of the corresponding random matrix. The analysis was performed on stocks belonging to the New York and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, for the time period of January 200...
