Background & Aims: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-β plaques in the brain. Although several studies have been done for finding effective medicines in the treatment of this disease, a drug that inhibits amyloid β aggregation and ameliorates the disorder has not been approved so far. One important therapeutic approach is use...

Compared to search engines, recommender systems provide another means to help users to access information. Recommender systems are designed to automatically provide useful items to users. A new challenge for recommender systems is to provide diversified recommendations. In this paper, we investigate an approach to obtain more diversified recommendations using an aggregation method based on vari...

New applications from the areas of analytical data processing and data integration require powerful features to condense and reconcile available data. Object-relational and other data management systems available today provide only limited concepts to deal with these requirements. The general concept of grouping and aggregation appears to be a fitting paradigm for a number of the mentioned issu...

We tackle the problem of identifying deceptive agents in highly-motivated high-conflict dialogues. We consider the case where we only have textual information. We show the usefulness of psycho-linguistic deception and persuasion features on a small dataset for the game of Werewolf. We analyse the role of syntax and we identify some characteristics of players in deceptive roles.

In the paper a short biography of Stefan Banach, a few stories about Banach and the Scottish Café and some results that nowadays are named by Banach’s surname are presented.

fuzzy relation inequalities based on max-f composition are discussed, where f is a binary aggregation on [0,1]. for a fixed fuzzy relation inequalities system $ a circ^{f}textbf{x}leqtextbf{b}$, we characterize all matrices $ a^{'} $ for which the solution set of the system $ a^{' } circ^{f}textbf{x}leqtextbf{b}$ is the same as the original solution set. similarly, for a fixed matrix ...

Background: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of bleeding due to multifactorial coagulopathies. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in platelet count and function during and after surgery as well as determining the association of the platelet dysfunction with bleeding and transfusion requirements in these patients.    Methods: A total o...

Vlad III The Impaler, also known as Dracula, descended from the dynasty of Basarab, the first rulers of independent Wallachia, in present Romania. Whether this dynasty is of Cuman (an admixed Turkic people that reached Wallachia from the East in the 11(th) century) or of local Romanian (Vlach) origin is debated among historians. Earlier studies have demonstrated the value of investigating the Y...

A growing body of evidence suggests that information regarding the past self and other people is processed similarly. However, there is not much evidence supporting this notion at the neural level. In this event-related potential (ERP) study we examined processing of one's own marital and family name (i.e., present and past self-name, respectively) and images of present and past self-face in co...
