The complexity of machine learning tasks can be measured along two parameters; Information and computation. Information complexity is concerned with the generalization performance of learning algorithms. Namely, How many training examples are needed to achieve certain accuracy of prediction? How fast do empirical estimates converge to the true population parameters? Etc. The computational compl...

β(S) haplotypes were studied in 47 non-related patients with sickle-cell anemia from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Molecular analysis was conducted by PCR/RFLP using restriction endonucleases XmnI, HindIII, HincII and HinfI to analyze six polymorphic sites from the beta cluster. Twenty-seven patients (57.5%) were identified with genotype CAR/CAR, 9 (19.1%) CAR/BEN, 6 (12.8%) CAR/CAM...

Bu çalışmanın amacı Alman İdealist felsefenin önemli temsilcilerinden biri olan Fichte’nin Wissenschaftslehre adlı eserinde temellerini attığı felsefe sistemini ve bu sistemin temel dayanaklarını ortaya koymaktır. felsefesini politik ahlaki kaygılar şekillendirir. nedenle felsefesi daha çok pratik meselelere ilişkindir. sistemi Kant’ın Reinhold’un felsefesinden bağımsız değildir. Fichte, Kant f...

Genetic screens for Drosophila mutants defective in pavlovian olfactory memory have provided unique insight into the molecular basis of memory storage. Occasionally, these singular genetic lesions have been assembled into meaningful molecular pathways and neural circuitries. For the most part, however, these genes and their expression patterns in the CNS remain fragmented, demanding new clues f...

In [2], it was shown that it is consistent that there is a singular cardinal μ such that μ carries a uniform, λ indecomposable filter for every λ ∈ (cf(μ), μ) ∩REG. This was done using the forcing from [8]. In this note, we present an expanded version of the proof using the forcing from [8] without interleaved collapses. I had independent reasons for wanting to go through this material, and I f...

We present a fast, proactive, quality of service (QoS) negotiation algorithm called Best Effort Negotiation (or BEN), for asynchronous real-time distributed systems. BEN considers an application model where trans-node application timeliness and faulttolerance requirements are expressed using benefit functions, and anticipated workload and system failure rates during future time intervals are ex...

Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), originally described in 1956, is a unique familial, chronic renal disease encountered with a high-prevalence rate in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most prominent features of the disease are its endemic nature, long-incubation period, familial clustering of the disease and an unusually high incidence of associated upper uroth...

Aim. The aim of this study was to compare urinary alpha 1 microglobulin (A1MG) in healthy individuals with and without family burden for Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) in an endemic village. Methods. Otherwise healthy inhabitants with microalbuminuria or proteinuria were divided into two groups: with (n = 24) and without (n = 32) family BEN burden and screened for urinary A1MG and A1MG/urine ...
