The influence of highly purified pituitary adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) and growth (somatotropic, STH) hormones on resistance of normal, young adult rats infected with Pasteurella pestis organisms (EV 76) has been studied. The daily dosage of ACTH was 0.1 mg. (25 I.U per mg.) and that of STH was 1.0 mg. When these hormones were administered for 3 days prior to infection (1 LD(50)) and for 4 days ...

While environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, many countries are adopting policies to control pollution. At the same time, the environmental regulation will inevitably affect economic and social development, especially employment growth. The environmental regulation will not only affect the scale of employment directly, but it will also have indirect effects by stimulating up...

Under appropriate conditions, oleic acid replaces biotin for several lactic acid bacteria.‘, z This growth-promoting action of oleic acid is not nullified by excess avidin for Streptococcus jaecalis R2 or for several other organisms (Table I). Egg white did, however, block utilization of oleic acid by Lactobacillus arabinosus (Table I). This result is obtained whether oleic acid is added alone,...

We have presented a classification framework that combines multiple heterogeneous classifiers in the presence of class label noise. An extension of m-Mediods based modeling is presented that generates model of various classes whilst identifying and filtering noisy training data. This noise free data is further used to learn model for other classifiers such as GMM and SVM. A weight learning meth...
