We show that any two Medvedev complete Π1 subsets of 2 ω are recursively homeomorphic. We obtain a Π1 set b Q ′ of countable coded ωmodels of WKL0 with a strong homogeneity property. We show that if G is a generic element of b Q′, then the ω-model of WKL0 coded by G satisfies ∀X ∀Y (if X is definable from Y , then X is Turing reducible to Y ). We use a result of Kučera to refute some plausible ...

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is an inflammatory chemokine up-regulated in obese subjects, contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes. The present study investigated the inhibitory effect of an ethanol-water extract from bamboo (BEX, Phyllostachys edulis) on the blood concentration of MCP-1. C57BL/6J mice were fed a standard diet or a high-fat diet with or without the BEX s...

A 2x2 factorial experiment (ten sows per treatment) was conducted to investigate the effect of maternal dietary supplementation with a seaweed extract (SWE; 0 v. 10·0 g/d) and fish oil (FO; 0 v. 100 g/d) inclusion from day 109 of gestation until weaning (day 26) on pig performance post-weaning (PW) and intestinal morphology, selected microflora and immune status of pigs 9 d PW. The SWE containe...

Autoencoders are unsupervised machine learning circuits whose learning goal is to minimize a distortion measure between inputs and outputs. Linear autoencoders can be defined over any field and only real-valued linear autoencoder have been studied so far. Here we study complex-valued linear autoencoders where the components of the training vectors and adjustable matrices are defined over the co...

Leverage is strongly related to liquidity in a market and lack of liquidity is considered a cause and/or consequence of the recent financial crisis. A repurchase agreement is a financial instrument where a security is sold simultaneously with an agreement to buy it back at a later date. Repurchase agreements (repos) market size is a very important element in calculating the overall leverage in ...

Given samples from two distributions over an n-element set, we wish to test whether these distributions are statistically close. We present an algorithm which uses sublinear in n, specifically, O(nǫ logn), independent samples from each distribution, runs in time linear in the sample size, makes no assumptions about the structure of the distributions, and distinguishes the cases when the distanc...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between household food insecurity score and Z-scores of childhood nutritional status indicators. DESIGN Population-based, cross-sectional survey, Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2011. SETTING A nationally representative sample of 11 085 households selected by a two-stage, stratified cluster sampling design to interview eligible men and women. SUBJE...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in a precursor version (AMS-01), was flown in June 1998 on a 51.6 orbit and at altitudes ranging between 320 and 390 km, on board of the space shuttle Discovery (flight STS-91). AMS-01 included an Aerogel Threshold C̆erenkov counter (ATC) to separate p̄ from e and e from p, for momenta below 3.5 GeV/c. This paper presents a description of the ATC counter and report...
