Method A retrospective cohort study was performed on 205 children aged 1−12 years presented to a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka;119 with epilepsy, exposed to AEDs more than 2 years and 86 who are unexposed to AED. Vitamin D levels and bone profile were analyzed by chemiluminescent auto analyzer and photometric methods respectively. The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency (< 20ng/ml) among c...

The problems caused by miniaturization of the goniometer are discussed from the viewpoint of the stress error caused by mis-setting of the specimen and misalignment of the collimator and detector for the Q assembly X-ray stress analyzer using a position sensitive detector. The stress errors were calculated using a model and a simulation method. It was found that they tend to increase with the d...

Autophosphorylation-dependent protein kinase (auto-kinase) was identified from pig brain and liver on the basis of its unique autophosphorylation/activation property [Yang, Fong, Yu and Liu (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 7034-7040; Yang, Chang and Soderling (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 9421-9427]. Its substrate consensus sequence motif was determined as being -R-X-(X)-S*/T*-X3-S/T-. To characterize a...

ZrO2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average crystalline size of ZrO2 was obtained 62 nm. Also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale ZrO2 under UV ...

sol–gel auto-combustion is a unique combination of the combustion and the chemical gelation processes. in this work, nanosize (d) powders with compositions of znfe2o4 were synthesized by sol–gel combustion method. the puffy, porous brown powders as-combusted was calcined at the temperature of 750–1000◦c for 4 h. these powders are characterized by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microsco...

Compact high-resolution X-ray spectrometers with a one-dimensional temperature gradient at the analyzer crystal are considered. This gradient, combined with the use of a position-sensitive detector, makes it possible to relax the usual Rowland-circle condition, allowing increased space at the sample position for a given energy resolution or arm radius. Thus, for example, it is estimated that ap...

We discuss the similarities and differences between training an autoencoder to minimize the reconstruction error, and training the same auto-encoder to compress the data via a generative model. Given a dataset, auto-encoders (for instance, [PH87, Section 8.1] or [HS06]) aim at building a hopefully simpler representation of the data via a hidden, usually lower-dimensional feature space. This is ...
