This paper presents Splice, a batch meta-learning system, designed to learn locally stable concepts in domains with hidden changes in context. The majority of machine learning algorithms assume that target concepts remain stable over time. In many domains this assumption is invalid. For example, nan-cial prediction, medical diagnosis, and network performance are domains in which target concepts...

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a 190+190 row-column addressed (RCA) capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array integrated in custom hand-held probe handle. The has designed 4.5 MHz center frequency immersion pitch 95 μm which corresponds to ≈ λ/4. 2.14 × cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1...

All Escherichia coli strains so far examined possess a chromosomally encoded nanATEK-yhcH operon for the catabolism of sialic acids. These unique nine-carbon sugars are synthesized primarily by higher eukaryotes and can be used as carbon, nitrogen, and energy sources by a variety of microbial pathogens or commensals. The gene nanR, located immediately upstream of the operon, encodes a protein o...

Magnetostratigraphy of sedimentary rock deposited in the Chaka basin (north-easternTibetan Plateau) indicates a lateMiocene onset of basin formation and subsequent development of the adjacent Qinghai Nan Shan. Sedimentation in the basin initiated at 11Ma. In the lower part of the basin ¢ll, a coarsening-upward sequence starting at 9Ma, as well as rapid sedimentation rates, and northward paleocu...

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons produce multiple sodium currents, including several different TTX-sensitive (TTX-S) currents and TTX-resistant (TTX-R) currents, which are produced by distinct sodium channels. We previously demonstrated that, after sciatic nerve transection, the levels of SNS and NaN sodium channel alpha-subunit transcripts and protein in small (18-30 micrometer diameter) DRG...
