BACKGROUND Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is produced by activated natural killer and T cells under pathologic circumstances. The objective of our study was to compare the level of IFN-gamma in open and endoscopic methods of vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). METHOD Ninety samples of human saphenous veins harvested from patients prepared for CABG. Pre- and post-procedure...

Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a well-established paradigm of declarative programming in close relationship with other declarative formalisms such as SAT Modulo Theories, Constraint Handling Rules, FO(.), PDDL and many others. Since its first informal editions, ASP systems have been compared in the now well-established ASP Competition. The Third (Open) ASP Competition, as the sequel to the ASP...

Current logo retrieval research focuses on closed set scenarios. We argue that the logo domain is too large for this strategy and requires an open set approach. To foster research in this direction, a large-scale logo dataset, called Logos in the Wild, is collected and released to the public. A typical open set logo retrieval application is, for example, assessing the effectiveness of advertise...

This paper presents investigations into the performance of openset, text-independent speaker identification (OSTI-SI) under mismatched data conditions. The scope of the study includes attempts to reduce the adverse effects of such conditions through the introduction of a modified parallel model combination (PMC) method together with condition-adjusted T-Norm (CTNorm) into the OSTI-SI framework....

In this supplement, we provide we provide additional material to further the reader as understanding of the work on Open Set Deep Networks, Mean Activation Vectors, Open Set Recognition and OpenMax algorithm. We present additional experiments on ILSVRC 2012 dataset. First we present experiments to illustrate performance of OpenMax for various parameters of EVT calibration (Alg. 1, main paper) f...

let $g$ be a finite group. we construct the prime graph of $ g $,which is denoted by $ gamma(g) $ as follows: the vertex set of thisgraph is the prime divisors of $ |g| $ and two distinct vertices $ p$ and $ q $ are joined by an edge if and only if $ g $ contains anelement of order $ pq $.in this paper, we determine finite groups $ g $ with $ gamma(g) =gamma(l_3(q)) $, $2 leq q < 100 $ and prov...

Let $G$ be a finite group and $pi(G)$ be the set of all the prime‎ ‎divisors of $|G|$‎. ‎The prime graph of $G$ is a simple graph‎ ‎$Gamma(G)$ whose vertex set is $pi(G)$ and two distinct vertices‎ ‎$p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G$ has an‎ ‎element of order $pq$‎, ‎and in this case we will write $psim q$‎. ‎The degree of $p$ is the number of vertices adjacent to $p$ and is‎ ...

We have studied the distribution of resonance widths P(Gamma) in one-, two-, and three-dimensional multiple light scattering systems. P(Gamma) should follow a universal power law P(Gamma) approximately Gamma(-1) in the localized regime as confirmed by extensive numerical calculations. This behavior can be interpreted as an unambiguous signature of exponential Anderson localization of light in o...

Answering a key point left open in recent work of Bongers, Guo, Li and Wick, we provide the following lower bound $$ \|b\|_{\text{BMO}_{\gamma}(\mathbb{R}^2)}\lesssim \|[b,H_{\gamma}]\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)\to L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)}, where $H_{\gamma}$ is parabolic Hilbert transform.
