1. Introduction The presence of organic part in the new class of hybrid solids imparts an important chemical versatility to these materials compared to "classical" solids. The architecture of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) may lead to open structures with 1D (chains), 2D (layers) or 3D dimensionality developing very large surface areas (above 1000 m 2 /g) [1]. Some MOFs possess a structural ori...

Multi-instance learning (MIL) considers input as bags of instances, in which labels are assigned to the bags. MIL is useful in many real-world applications. For example, in image categorization semantic meanings (labels) of an image mostly arise from its regions (instances) instead of the entire image (bag). Existing MIL methods typically build their models using the Bag-to-Bag (B2B) distance, ...

Multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy (MIL) is a cerebral demyelinating syndrome that develops after chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and levamisole. The authors report a patient who developed MIL after 5-FU administration not in association with levamisole. She was subsequently diagnosed with partial deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase, an enzyme necessary for 5-FU catab...

There is an aura about sessions such as this which suggests analogies to a fraternity initiation. Given that, one of the first questions the discussant must ask himself is where his discussion stands in relation to "Hell Week." All of us, I believe, would agree that "Hell Week" is the responsibility of the pledge trainer, or dissertation adviser in this case. If "Hell Week" is over, is the disc...

The large-pore iron(III) carboxylate MIL-100(Fe) with a zeotype architecture has been isolated under hydrothermal conditions, its structure solved from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, while Friedel-Crafts benzylation catalytic tests indicate a high activity and selectivity for MIL-100(Fe).

We propose a new generalized multiple-instance learning (MIL) algorithm, MICCLLR (multiple-instance class conditional likelihood ratio), that converts the MI data into a single meta-instance data allowing any propositional classifier to be applied. Experimental results on a wide range of MI data sets show that MICCLLR is competitive with some of the best performing MIL algorithms reported in li...

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) were developed out of a plethora of initiatives implemented between 1960 and 1990. The format of NVQs was initially based on a hierarchical task analysis of job functions within the hospitality and catering industry, conducted as part of the CATERBASE project, which was commissioned by the Manpower Services Commission in the mid-1980s. This issues paper...

Five protective garments (light summer clothing L, high visibility clothing HV, military clothing MIL, climber coverall CLM and firefighting clothing FIRE) were assessed on eight unacclimated male subjects at two environments: moderate warm environment with high humidity (MWH, 20.0°C, 86% relative humidity) and warm environment with moderate humidity (WMH, 30.0°C, 47% relative humidity). The th...
