The binding of drugs by plasma proteins is an important phenomenon, because it influences the size of the free fraction of the drugs in plasma. In this study the influence of dipyridamole (DP) on the protein binding of propranolol (PL) and PL on the protein binding of DP were studied alone and in the presence of nicotine (NC).        The equilibrium dialysis was employed for protein bin...

We propose to encode records of a Scalable Distributed Data Structure (SDDS) using precomputed algebraic signatures. The partly pre-computed algebraic signature of a string encodes each symbol into its contribution to the algebraic signature of the string. The cumulative pre-computed algebraic signature encodes each symbol with the signature of the string prefix ending with the symbol. The enco...

This paper studies pulse-based M -ary ultrawideband communications analyzing both the symbol error rate (SER) and the information theoretic capacity C for single-link communications over both additive white Gaussian noise and multipath channels (taking into account random variations in both energy and correlation values). In particular, we consider M -ary N -orthogonal pulse-position-modulated ...

In order for robots to engage in dialog with human teammates, they must have the ability to identify correspondences between elements of language and aspects of the external world. A solution to this symbol grounding problem (Harnad, 1990) would enable a robot to interpret commands such as “Drive over to receiving and pick up the tire pallet.” This article describes several of our results that ...

We present a new approach to managing the appearance of handwritten symbolic information for pen-based systems in which text is recognized and gradually transformed into clean typography. The approach is best suited to pen-based symbolic input and manipulation in which the user interacts directly with the display. Once a collection of user-drawn strokes has been recognized as comprising a speci...

color is one of important elements in area of feelings that plays an important role in our life and is a symbol for expression of feeling as sadness and happiness. therefore, color is an additional aspect that provides many meaning for a literary man so that he can picture beauties of creation by means of it. it is decodification of secret meanings of the colors by which litreary man's tho...

This report describes a connectionist architecture specifically intended for use in sequential domains requiring symbol manipulation. The architecture is based on a network formalism which differs from other connectionist networks developed for use in temporal/sequential domains. Units in this formalism are updated synchronously and retain partial activation between updates. They produce two ou...

We present a new approach to managing the appearance of handwritten symbolic information for panbased systems in which text is recognized and gradually transformed into clean typography. The approach is best suited to pen-based symbolic input and manipulation in which the user interacts directly with the display. Once a collection of user-drawn strokes has been recognized as comprising a specif...
