This paper characterizes how well the modular neuro-fuzzy controller, MoNiF, can perform in robotic applications by testing it in a race-car simulator. The performance of this controller is compared with that of a neural network controller (NNC) and the best programmed car (the ideal car). During the phase of learning from the ideal car, MoNiF reaches its stable performance (when it demonstrate...

The NNC (Neural Network Controller) automatically tunes the buffer SIze at the user/server level to eliminate any chance of overflow in the client/server interaction over a TCP logical channel. Together with the buffer tuning operations at the system/router level (e.g. the AQM (Active Queue Management) activities) they form a unified solution. The power and stability of the NNC was verified ove...

Two dimeric analogs of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist phenylpropargyloxy-1,2,5-thiadiazole-quinuclidine (NNC 11-1314) were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. In radioligand binding assays on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell membranes expressing the individual human M(1) to M(5) mAChR subtypes, both dimers [(3S)-1,4-bis-(3-[(3-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octanyl)-1,2,5-thia...

Background: A neem-based conditioner lotion (ONC) used against head lice was previously tested clinically and shown to be relatively ineffective. To improve the activity against lice and their eggs, it was reformulated into a silicone vehicle (NNC) as part of a project to improve pediculicidal medical devices. An ultrasound nit comb was also developed to be used in conjunction with the neem lot...

This paper shows how derivations in (a variation of) SKS can be translated into proof nets. Since an SKS derivation contains more information about a proof than the corresponding proof net, we observe a loss of information which can be understood as “eliminating bureaucracy”. Technically this is achieved by cut reduction on proof nets. As an intermediate step between the two extremes, SKS deriv...

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a form of activity-dependent plasticity that occurs during learning. Potassium channels are the most diverse group of all ion channels that related to synaptic plasticity. Small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SKs) are found in hippocampal CA1 neurons and by inhibiting of postsynaptic potentials are involved in synaptic transmission impairment. ...

Seborrhoeic keratoses (SKs) are common benign epithelial tumors. They preferentially arise on seborrheic skin areas such as the face and the trunk, rarely on the genital area. We report the case of a 41-year old patient with no particular past medical history presenting with pubic lesions evolving for three years. Clinical examination showed blackish keratosis lesions having a cerebriform appea...

Background: Streptokinase (SK), a heterogeneous plasminogen (PG) activator (PA) protein from groups A, C, and G streptococci (GAS, GCS, GGS, respectively) contains three structural domains (SKα, SKβ, and SKg). Based on the variable region of SKβ, GAS-SKs (ska) are clustered as SK1 and SK2 (including SK2a/SK2b), which show low and high fibrinogen (FG)-dependent PG activation properties, respecti...

This paper shows how derivations in the deep inference system SKS for classical propositional logic can be translated into proof nets. Since an SKS derivation contains more information about a proof than the corresponding proof net, we observe a loss of information which can be understood as “eliminating bureaucracy”. Technically this is achieved by cut reduction on proof nets. As an intermedia...
