We introduce a new regression method – called Correlated Component Regression (CCR) – which provides reliable predictions even with near multicollinear data. Near multicollinearity occurs when a large number of correlated predictors and relatively small sample size exists as well as situations involving a relatively small number of correlated predictors. Different variants of CCR are tailored t...

In a programming environment with both concurrency and automatic garbage collection, the allocation and initialization of a new record is a sensitive matter: if it is interrupted halfway through, the allocating Supported in part by NSF Grants DCR-8603453 and CCR-8806121 and by a Digital Equipment Corp.

Aiming at the iron and steel industry decarbonisation with blast furnace gas (BFG) utilisation, a techno-economic feasibility of pre-combustion carbon capture methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) is evaluated herein. The effectiveness water shift (WGS) implementation on performance also investigated. integration power plant decarbonised fuel from unit taken into account both technical economic perspect...

The efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. The majority of studies on DEA models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of DEA for the efficiency measurement. This paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...

Chest compression depth (CCD) and rate (CCR) are important factors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). To assist performing CPR by citizen, a number of CPR related applications are being developed on a smartphone application market. Most of apps provide procedure of CPR. In case of using accelerometer, it is possible to estimate CCD and CCR. In this study, we proposed an app which provides ...

Inhibition of specific lignin biosynthetic steps by antisense strategy has previously been shown to alter lignin content and/or structure. In this work, homozygous tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines transformed with cinnamoyl-coenzyme A reductase (CCR) or caffeic acid/5-hydroxy ferulic acid-O-methyltransferase I (COMT I) antisense sequences have been crossed and enzyme activities, lignin synthes...

Asking eyewitnesses to provide an initial account using free recall strategies is a crucial procedure used in most investigative interviews (e.g. Cognitive Interview or PEACE model) allowing accurate and detailed information about the crime. Recent studies suggest clustering retrieval like Category Clustering Recall (CCR) can also be effective for obtaining from eyewitnesses, perhaps more than ...

The ccr gene, encoding crotonyl coenzyme A (CoA) reductase (CCR), was cloned from Streptomyces cinnamonensis C730.1 and shown to encode a protein with 90% amino acid sequence identity to the CCRs of Streptomyces collinus and Streptomyces coelicolor. A ccr-disrupted mutant, S. cinnamonensis L1, was constructed by inserting the hyg resistance gene into a unique BglII site within the ccr coding re...

CCR-3 is a major receptor involved in regulating eosinophil trafficking. Initial analysis of chemokine receptors has demonstrated unique receptor events in different cell types, indicating the importance of investigating CCR-3 events in eosinophilic cell lines. We now report that the eosinophilic cell line, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) 14.3D10, expresses eosinophil granule proteins and eota...
