We propose a novel framework for the analysis of learning algorithms that allows us to say when such algorithms can and cannot generalize certain patterns from training data to test data. In particular we focus on situations where the rule that must be learned concerns two components of a stimulus being identical. We call such a basis for discrimination an identitybased rule. Identity-based rul...

This study aimed to determine the effects of a single high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session on salivary cortisol (SC) levels, physiological responses, and performance in trained boys and men. Twenty-three boys (11.5 ± 0.8 years) and 25 men (29.7 ± 4.6 years) performed HIIT (4 consecutive Wingate Anaerobic Tests). SC in boys and men increased after HIIT from 5.55 ± 3.3 nmol/l to 15.13 ...

Assembly of dysprosium(iii) salts with versatile hydrazone H3L affords a variety molecular magnetic compounds from mononuclear, dinuclear, grid-like tetranuclear to linear 1D chain.

Staphylea has been used for long time in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and by Native Americans in a number of therapeutical indications. The present study describes in vitro antiproliferative, cytotoxic properties (MTT and LDH test) and antioxidant activities (reduction of DPPH radical and peroxynitrite radical) of Staphylea colchica Stev. (SC), S. elegans Zab. (SC), S. holocarpa Hemsl. (S...

This study proposes a bilevel programming model in which the supply chain (SC) director determines optimal performance levels of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and compensation for all SC actors, thus maximizing total SC profits. Given the fixed CSR performance levels, the equilibrium product flows are determined in the lower-level model, in which the profit-maximizing behavior of the in...

Rabbit secretory components (SC) constitute a family of markedly heterogeneous glycoproteins which are released in the secretions as free SC or as SC bound to polymeric immunoglobulins. The aim of this work was to determine the region of the SC polypeptides which is involved in IgA binding. The high and the low Mr forms of free SC (or IgA-dissociated bound SC) and the native secretory IgA compl...

The natriuretic effect of Ca(2+) channel blockers has been attributed to hemodynamic changes and to poorly defined direct tubular effects. To test the possibility that verapamil may inhibit Na(+) reabsorption at the distal tubule, its effect on transepithelial Na(+) transport in aldosterone-stimulated A6 cells was determined. Cells were grown on permeable supports, and short-circuit current (I(...

We developed the activity-based probe YL209 that can covalently functionalize diverse GH29 ?-l-fucosidases and detect these at nanogram levels after a click reaction with biotin reporter.

OBJECTIVE To assess the association between physical fitness and its recovery over time on the one hand, and complications and duration of phases of rehabilitation on the other. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective cohort study at eight rehabilitation centres. SUBJECTS People with a spinal cord injury were assessed four times: at the start of active rehabilitation (n = 110), three months later (n...
