Various experimental comparisons of algorithms for supervised classi®cation of remote-sensing images have been reported in the literature. Among others, a comparison of neural and statistical classi®ers has previously been made by the authors in (Serpico, S.B., Bruzzone, L., Roli, F., 1996. Pattern Recognition Letters 17, 1331±1341). Results of reported experiments have clearly shown that the s...

Blood from non-smoking donors was incubated with Althesin and the PO2 for half-saturation of haemoglobin at standard pH, PCO2 and temperature (P 50) was measured. The mean P 50 values of blood with blood concentrations of Althesin of 0.14 ml/dl and 0.42 ml/dl were greater (1.14 +/- 0.31 (SEM) mm Hg (P less than 0.005) and 2.22 +/- 0.35 (SEM) mm Hg (P less than 0.001), respectively) than that of...

Tocilizumab is a humanized anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Biweekly doses of 8 mg/kg for patients who weigh ≥ 30 kg and 12 mg/kg for patients who weigh <30 kg produce adequate blockade of IL-6 receptors and normalization of C-reactive protein levels. The mean area under the curve during a 2-wee...

Giovanni Boccaccio’s Teseida delle nozze d’Emilia (1339–1341?) is an innovative vernacular text in which Teseo (Theseus) and the Scythian Amazons are reinvented as antagonists in a war fought to determine how women are meant to live their lives. Boccaccio’s characterization of these figures and their interactions offer an effective counter-narrative to the prevailing ethos that women’s inborn p...

A non-lethal procedure for identifying pigs apt to develop malignant hyperthermia is described. Susceptible animals were exposed to a variety of anaesthetic and other agents and it was shown that thiopentone sodium and CT 1341 (Glaxo) afforded a measure of protection against the development of the syndrome. Pretreatment with procaine did not prevent the onset of the condition and the administra...

A 1341 bp sequence of the 16S rDNA of an undescribed species of Pasteuria that parasitizes the soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines, was determined and then compared with a homologous sequence of Pasteuria ramosa, a parasite of cladoceran water fleas of the family Daphnidae. The two Pasteuria sequences, which diverged from each other by a dissimilarity index of 7%, also were compared with...
