abstract introduction: in this study the role of pge2 as an important inflammatory mediator in indomethacine and theophylline effects on joint diameter and vascular response of chronically inflamed rat knee joint to saphenous nerve stimulation was investigated. methods: inflammation was induced by intraarticular injection of 0.2 ml freund,s complete adjuvant (fca) and 3, 7, 14, 21 days post inj...

We present here a characterization of the generalized derivative of the optimal value of the objective function of a linear program as a function of matrix coefficients. We generalize the result of Freund (1985) to the cases where derivatives may not be defined because of the existence of multiple primal or dual solutions. Subject classification : Parametric Linear Programming, Linear Programmi...

This paper introduces AdaBoost Dynamic, an extension of AdaBoost.M1 algorithm by Freund and Shapire. In this extension we use different “weak” classifiers in subsequent iterations of the algorithm, instead of AdaBoost’s fixed base classifier. The algorithm is tested with various datasets from UCI database, and results show that the algorithm performs equally well as AdaBoost with the best possi...

This topical review deals with a multidimensional gravitational model containing dilatonic scalar fields and antisymmetric forms. The manifold is chosen in the form M = M0 ×M1 × . . .×Mn, where Mi are Einstein spaces (i ≥ 1). The sigma-model approach and exact solutions in the model are reviewed and the solutions with p-branes (e.g. Majumdar-Papapetrou-type, cosmological, spherically symmetric,...
