ness are used to represent words. Here is a hypothetical account of how such a network could be learned. The features representing the line segments are taken to be the exogenous features given a priori. This network comes into existence with these line-segment nodes, together with extra endogenous feature nodes which, through experience, will become the letter and word nodes. As before, the co...

This is a report of the application of the Model Generation Theorem Prover developed at ICOT to problems in the theory of finite quasigroups. Several of the problems were pre­ viously open. In this paper, we discuss our the­ orem proving methods, related to those of the existing provers SATCHMO (Manthey, Bry) and OTTER (McCune), and note how parallel processing on the ICOT Parallel Inference Ma...

This article summarizes the psychometric evaluation of the Chronic Illness Assessment Interview for Sickle Cell Disease (CIAI-SCD), an instrument based on a model of self-care for adult patients with chronic medical conditions. The CIAI-SCD was administered to 104 adults with sickle cell disease. A factor analysis identified three factors that reflected the psychological constructs of Personal ...

Cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs) are a family of Phase II drugmetabolizing enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sulfonate group from 3 -phosphoadenosine 5 -phosphosulfate to endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Several SULT isoform messages have been detected in the human brain; however, protein expression patterns have not been characterized. Immunoblot analysis of the SULT1A1 and 1A3 is...

Human serum paraoxonase-1 (HuPON1) has the capacity to hydrolyze aryl esters, lactones, oxidized phospholipids, and organophosphorus (OP) compounds. HuPON1 and bacterially expressed chimeric recombinant PON1s (G2E6 and G3C9) differ by multiple amino acids, none of which are in the putative enzyme active site. To address the importance of these amino acid differences, the abilities of HuPON1, G2...

Knowing whether the dispersion structures of two elliptically symmetric populations are proportional is an important problem in multivariate data analysis. Since the problem is invariant under nonsingular transformations it is possible to reduce it to the situation where one population is spherically symmetric while the other has a diagonal dispersion structure. In this article we show that the...
