In this paper we describe the TNO approach to large-scale polarity classification of the Blog TREC 2008 dataset. Our participation consists of the submission of the 5 baseline runs provided by NIST, for which we applied a multinomial kernel machine operating on character n-gram representations.1

Spores of thermophilic spore-forming bacteria are a common cause of contamination in dairy products. We isolated the thermophilic strain Anoxybacillus flavithermus TNO-09.006 from a milk-processing plant, and we report the complete genome of this isolate consisting of a single chromosome of 2.65 Mb.

Thermophilic spore-forming bacteria are a common cause of contamination in dairy products. We isolated the thermophilic strain Geobacillus thermoglucosidans TNO-09.020 from a milk processing plant and report the complete genome of a dairy plant isolate consisting of a single chromosome of 3.75 Mb.

PURPOSE To study the long-term visual outcome of primary microtropia. METHODS A retrospective review was made on 31 patients with primary microtropia with the follow-up period of 5 years or more (5-15 years, mean=9.2 years) seen during 16 years from 1985 to 2000 at Okayama University Hospital. The patients were 16 boys and 15 girls, with the age at the initial visit ranging from 5 to 16 years...

ABSTRACT Any early or late dynamical instability in the outer Solar system should have left their footprint on trans-Neptunian object (TNO) populations. Here, we study collisional and evolution of such populations numerically by an updated version ALICANDEP, which suitably takes into account onset instability. Key parameters for are chosen to match results with current observables. The new mode...
