In this report we take first and significant steps towards augmenting Indigo’s online presence by automatically personalized features that can be expected to help online sales: book as well as online community friends recommendations. We use and modify well-known collaborative filtering techniques to utilize a single machine learning method for both tasks. Our techniques are shown to be effecti...

Introduction. To compare the accuracy of digital and real-time chromoendoscopy for the differential diagnosis of diminutive (<5 mm) neoplastic and nonneoplastic colorectal lesions. Materials and Methods. This is a prospective randomized study comparing the Fujinon intelligent color enhancement (FICE) system (65 patients/95 lesions) and indigo carmine (69 patients/120 lesions) in the analysis of...

π-Conjugated polymers based on indigo unit were prepared. Dehalogenative polycondensation of N-hexyl-6,6'-dibromoindigo with a zerovalent nickel complex gave a homopolymer, P(HexI), in 77% yield. Copolymer of N-hexyl-indigo and pyridine, P(HexI-Py), was also prepared in 50% yield. P(HexI) showed good solubility in organic solvents, whereas P(HexI-Py) was only soluble in acids such as HCOOH. The...

This study assessed the applicability of a ferrous oxalate mediated photo-Fenton pretreatment for indigo-dyed wastewaters as to produce a biodegradable enough effluent, likely of being derived to conventional biological processes. The photochemical treatment was performed with ferrous oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in a Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) under batch operation conditions. The ...

As was his custom, Theodore Conrad was at the kitchen Seated front and center in the pew to Larson’s right was stove eagerly preparing his favorite sauce for rigatoni: Matsie Bart. As a member of city council, Matsie felt it her cream with basil and anchovies; cloves of roasted garlic, civic duty to ‘tend her flock, to keep the faith.’ As she sliced on the long axis; and melted gorgonzola. As h...

Indigo Snakes (genus Drymarchon) occur from northern Argentina northward into to the United States, where they inhabit southern Texas and disjunct populations in Mississippi, Florida and Georgia. Based on allopatry and morphological differences Collins (1991) hypothesized that the two United States taxa-the Western Indigo Snake, D. melanurus erebennus (Cope, 1860), and the Eastern Indigo Snake,...

spectrophotometric and electrochemical studies were successfully used in quantitative analysis of amitriptyline hydrochloride (ath) and nortriptyline hydrochloride (nth). conductometric titration were carried out in equeous solution using iodide and dopamine and serotonine as titrant. two new methods using spectrophotometry are dascribed for the determination of (ath) and (nth) with potassium b...

A summer-planted crop of alyceelover significantly (P < 0.05) increased the soil abundance of Meloidogyne arenaria race 2 juveniles by 3.7-fold when measured in the following spring. Maize, sorghum, and soybean had no significant effects on residual nematode numbers over the same period. Summer plantings of aeschynomene, cotton, hairy indigo, tespedeza, millet, peanut, and sorghum-sudangrass we...
