We consider the standard problem of learning a concept from random examples. Here a learning curve can be deened to be the expected error of a learner's hypotheses as a function of training sample size. Haussler, Littlestone and Warmuth have shown that, in the distribution free setting, the smallest expected error a learner can achieve in the worst case over a concept class C converges rational...

Both neutrophil margination and increases in the non-invasively assessed parameter, isovolumetric venous congestion cuff pressure (Pv(i)), are symptomatic of some inflammatory diseases. Neutrophil margination occurs primarily, though not exclusively, at the post-capillary endothelial surface. The local haemodynamic changes resulting from margination may be responsible for the observed increases...

let $g$ be a $p$-group of nilpotency class $k$ with finite exponent $exp(g)$ and let $m=lfloorlog_pk floor$. we show that $exp(m^{(c)}(g))$ divides $exp(g)p^{m(k-1)}$, for all $cgeq1$, where $m^{(c)}(g)$ denotes the c-nilpotent multiplier of $g$. this implies that $exp( m(g))$ divides $exp(g)$, for all finite $p$-groups of class at most $p-1$. moreover, we show that our result is an improvement...

Hyperoxia can cause substantial reductions in peripheral and coronary blood flow at rest and during exercise, which may be caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during hyperoxia. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ROS in hyperoxia-induced reductions in skeletal muscle blood flow during forearm exercise. We hypothesized that infusion of vitamin C would abolish the e...

The ABC model of flower development, established through studies in eudicot model species, proposes that petal and stamen identity are under the control of B-class genes. Analysis of B- and C-class genes in the grass species rice and maize suggests that the C- and B-class functions are conserved between monocots and eudicots, with B-class genes controlling stamen and lodicule development. We ha...

The main objective of the paper is to state newly fixed point theorems for set-valued mappings in the framework of 0-complete partial metric spaces which speak about a location of a fixed point with respect to an initial value of the set-valued mapping by using some $C$-class functions. The results proved herein generalize, modify and unify some recent results of the existing literature. As an ...

studies have shown that patients who do not produce donor specific and / or panel reactive anti-hla antibodies have a longer graft survival. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the posttransplant humoral immune response towards hla-class i antigens and the measurement of the serum creatinine levels which are used in monitoring posttransplant function of kidney. serum samples from 132 rena...

inspired by a recent work of buchweitz and flenner, we show that, for a semidualizing bimodule $c$, $c$--perfect complexes have the ability to detect when a ring is strongly regular.it is shown that there exists a class of modules which admit minimal resolutions of $c$--projective modules.

BACKGROUND We previously found a significant benefit of vitamin C supplementation in asthmatic children. PURPOSE To test whether the effect of vitamin C on asthma is heterogeneous over the participant population. METHODS Egyptian asthmatic children between 7 and 10 years of age (n = 60) were included in the cross-over trial. They were administered 0.2 grams per day of vitamin C and placebo ...
