platelet adherence surrounding leucocytes in a rosette formation or platelet satellitism is a rare phenomenon. this finding has been observed almost exclusively in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid treated blood at room temperature. the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not fully understood. in many reports of platelet satellitism platelets clump to polymorphonuclear neutrophils in healthy ...

Masked language models (MLMs) have contributed to drastic performance improvements with regard zero anaphora resolution (ZAR). To further improve this approach, in study, we made two proposals. The first is a new pretraining task that trains MLMs on anaphoric relations explicit supervision, and the second proposal finetuning method remedies notorious issue, pretrain-finetune discrepancy. Our ex...

For a finitely generated A-module M we define the dimension filtration M = {Mi}0≤i≤d, d = dimA M, where Mi denotes the largest submodule of M of dimension ≤ i. Several properties of this filtration are investigated. In particular, in case the local ring (A,m) possesses a dualizing complex, then this filtration occurs as the filtration of a spectral sequence related to duality. Furthermore, we c...
