The specificity of Type II pneumococcus determined by its capsular polysaccharide (S II) may be separated into three partial specificities, each characteristic of one of the three component sugars of S II, namely, glucuronic acid, glucose, and rhamnose. By far the largest portion of antibodies in Type II antipneumococcus horse sera which cross-react with carbohydrates containing one or more of ...

We investigated the magnetoresistance and Hall effect in an organic massless Dirac fermion system ?-(BETS)2I3 under pressure. The Fermi energy of this is slightly far away from points, thus ? = 1 quantum state realized a low magnetic field at temperatures. Moreover, experimental formula for chemical potential as function temperature clarified. succeeded detecting inter-band effects on conductiv...

The response of a multilayered perceptron (MLP) network on points which are far away from the boundary of its training data is generally never reliable. Ideally a network should not respond to data points which lie far away from the boundary of its training data. We propose a new training scheme for MLPs as classifiers, which ensures this. Our training scheme involves training subnets for each ...

Ramadan fasting is specific intermittent fasting comprising significant changes in routine lifestyle pattern and may affect body homeostasis and metabolism. In spite of several studies conducted on the effects of Ramadan fasting on various aspects of health and disease, because of heterogeneity in methodology and procedures (sometimes inevitable), a comprehensive concluding for reliable results...

While deep learning has led to significant advances in visual recognition over the past few years, such advances often require a lot of annotated data. While unsupervised domain adaptation has emerged as an alternative approach that doesn’t require as much annotated data, prior evaluations of domain adaptation have been limited to relatively simple datasets. This work pushes the state of the ar...

Is spacetime really a continuum, with points being described—at least locally— by lists of real numbers? Or is this description, though immensely successful so far, just an approximation that breaks down at short distances? Rather than trying to answer this hard question, let’s look back at the struggles with the continuum that mathematicians and physicists have had so far. The worries go back ...

BACKGROUND Walking and cycling to school provide a convenient opportunity to incorporate physical activity into an adolescent's daily routine. School proximity to residential homes has been identified as an important determinant of active commuting among children. The purpose of this study is to identify if distance is a barrier to active commuting among adolescents, and if there is a criterion...
