The class forcing theorem, which asserts that every class forcing notion P admits a forcing relation P, that is, a relation satisfying the forcing relation recursion—it follows that statements true in the corresponding forcing extensions are forced and forced statements are true—is equivalent over Gödel-Bernays set theory GBC to the principle of elementary transfinite recursion ETROrd for class...

We investigated the relationship between glucocorticoids, thyroid hormones, and outer ring and inner ring deiodinases (ORD and IRD) during embryonic development in the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). We treated the embryos with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex), 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T(3)), and a combination of these two hormones (Dex + T(3)). The effects of these tr...

Recently, we have reported [1] that the blue colour of the so-called "blue phase" (BP) of some cholesteryl esters originates from a selective reflection of circularly polarized light (SR) as described for the plane texture of cholesteric phases [2]. Additionally, within the wavelength region of SR an anomalous dispersion of optical rotatory power (ORD) has been found in the BP state [1]. Accord...

The Agaricomycetidae is one of the most morphologically diverse clades of Basidiomycota that includes the well known Agaricales and Boletales, which are dominated by pileate-stipitate forms, and the more obscure Atheliales, which is a relatively small group of resupinate taxa. This study focused taxon sampling on resupinate forms that may be related to these groups, aimed at resolving the early...

Studies of optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and circular dichroism (CD) are reported on human carbonic anhydrases B and C in the spectral region below 320 mp. Most of the observed CD spectrum of each enzyme could be described in terms of three principal Gaussian bands: a strong negative band near 216 rnp, a weaker negative band near 270 to 275 mp, and a positive band intermediate between the o...

background: we determined the levels of subjective and observer drowsiness and facial dynamics changes. methods: this experimental study was done in the virtual reality laboratory of khaje-nasir toosi university of technology in 2015. facial dynamics changes like changes in eyes, mouth and eyebrows were surveyed on twenty-five drivers in 2015bykss (karolinska sleepiness scale) and ord (observer...

For simplicity, we use the following convention: G is a group, a, b are elements of G, m, n are natural numbers, and p is a prime natural number. One can prove the following propositions: (1) If for every natural number r holds n 6= pr, then there exists an element s of N such that s is prime and s | n and s 6= p. (2) For all natural numbers n, m such that n | pm there exists a natural number r...

In this demo we present intAIRact, an online hand-based touchless interaction system. Interactions are based on easy-to-learn hand gestures, that combined with translations and rotations render a user friendly and highly configurable system. The main advantage with respect to existing approaches is that we are able to robustly locate and identify fingertips. Hence, we are able to employ a simpl...

We intend to show that the optimal filter size of backwards convolution (or deconvolution (deconv)) for upsampling is closely related to the upscaling factor s. For conciseness, we consider a single-scale network (SS-Net(ord)) trained in an ordinary domain for upsampling a LR depth map with an upscaling factor s = 4. Figure 1 shows an overview of SS-Net(ord). Specifically, the first and third l...

We present Ord i Dag, a new service that displays today's most important keywords. These are extracted fully automatically from Norwegian online newspapers. Describing the complete process, we provide an entirely disclosed method for media monitoring and news summarization. For keyword extraction, a reference corpus serves as background about average language use, which is contrasted with the c...
