Most domain adaptation methods for machine reading comprehension (MRC) use a pre-trained question-answer (QA) construction model to generate pseudo QA pairs MRC transfer. Such process will inevitably introduce mismatched (i.e., Noisy Correspondence) due i) the unavailable in target documents, and ii) shift during applying domain. Undoubtedly, noisy correspondence degenerate performance of MRC, ...

1. Contact the user support for UT MRC, Dr. Marylene Palard [2], to evaluate the feasibility of your project depending on the UT MRC capabilities and cross-contamination issue. 2. Submit the UT MRC Project Proposal Form [3], to M Palard. [2]Describe the experiment that you want to do in UT MRC cleanroom. 3. Complete the Memorandum of Understanding [4] (Laboratory Policy, IP, Liability, fees, li...

We investigated the effect of DWac on the gut microbiota composition in mice with 2,3,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid- (TNBS-) induced colitis. Treatment with DWac restored TNBS-disturbed gut microbiota composition and attenuated TNBS-induced colitis. Moreover, we examined the effect of DWac in mice with mesalazine-resistant colitis (MRC). Intrarectal injection of TNBS in MRC mice caused severe ...

We thank Chris Bulpitt, Dee Jones, and Alistair Tulloch, co-investigators on the MRC trial of assessment and management of older people, and the nurses, GPs, the other staff and the patients in the participating practices: the MRC General Practice Research Framework Co-ordinating Centre (Madge Vickers, Jeannett Martin, and Nicky Fasey); the research team for the MRC trial of assessment and mana...

The Rayleigh conjecture about convergence up to the boundary of the series representing the scattered field in the exterior of an obstacle D is widely used by engineers in applications. However this conjecture is false for some obstacles. AGR introduced the Modified Rayleigh Conjecture (MRC), which is an exact mathematical result. In this paper we review the theoretical basis for the MRC method...

To investigate the effects of HIV infection on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and other mitochondrial parameters, we used peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 25 asymptomatic antiretroviral-naive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and from 25 healthy control subjects. HIV-infected patients had significant decreases in mtDNA content (decrease, 23%; P<.05) and in t...

In this letter, we evaluate the performance of multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) in terms of average bit error probability (BEP) in Nakagami fading channels. The results are applicable to MC-CDMA systems employing coherent demodulation with maximal-ratio combining (MRC) or equal gain combining (EGC) reception. The effects of fading parameters and number of users are presented...
