FRIEDMAN, JULIUS J. Total, non-nutritional, and nutritional blood volume in isolated dog hindlimb. Am. J. Physiol. 2 I o( I ) : 151-156. 1966.-A method for the estimation of the distribution of effectively circulating total blood volume of a tissue (VT) into the nutritional (V,) and non-nutritional (V,) segments of the vasculature is presented. VT is estimated from the indicator-dilution patter...

In the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, VA and VB motor neurons arise from a common precursor cell but adopt different morphologies and synapse with separate sets of interneurons in the ventral nerve cord. A mutation that inactivates the unc-4 homeodomain gene causes VA motor neurons to assume the VB pattern of synaptic input while retaining normal axonal polarity and output; the disconnection...

The vacuum bag (VB) dust from the homes of 19 asthmatic children in North Carolina (NC) was analyzed by mold specific quantitative PCR. These results were compared to the analysis of the VB dust from 176 homes in the HUD, American Healthy Home Survey of homes in the US. The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) was calculated for each of the homes. The mean and standard deviation (SD) o...

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a popular generative model of various objects such as texts and images, where an object is expressed as a mixture of latent topics. In this paper, we theoretically investigate variational Bayesian (VB) learning in LDA. More specifically, we analytically derive the leading term of the VB free energy under an asymptotic setup, and show that there exist transit...

We have reexamined the valence-band (VB) and core-level electronic structure of NiO by means of hard and soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopies. The spectral weight of the lowest energy state was found to be enhanced in the bulk sensitive Ni 2p core-level spectrum. A configuration-interaction model including a bound state screening has shown agreement with the core-level spectrum and off- and ...

Consider a bilateral trading market where there is one potential buyer and one potential seller of an object. The value that the buyer and seller place on the object depends on the product’s quality, . In particular, assume the value to the buyer is vB and the value to the seller is vS : Assume that the quality of the good is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1, U [0; 1]: Tomake the problem i...

This paper presents a new grammar induction algorithm for probabilistic context-free grammars (PCFGs). There is an approach to PCFG induction that is based on parameter estimation. Following this approach, we apply the variational Bayes to PCFGs. The variational Bayes (VB) is an approximation of Bayesian learning. It has been empirically shown that VB is less likely to cause overfitting. Moreov...

Completely regular semigroups CR are regarded here as algebras with multiplication and the unary operation of inversion. Their lattice of varieties is denoted by L.CR/. Let B denote the variety of bands and L.B/ the lattice of its subvarieties. The mapping V → V ∩ B is a complete homomorphism of L.CR/ onto L.B/. The congruence induced by it has classes that are intervals, say VB = [VB ;V B] for...

In this paper, we introduce and study some new types of functions by the use of Λb-sets and Vb-sets. AMS Subject Classification: 54C10, 54D10

Little is currently known about dynamic brain networks involved in high-level cognition and their ontological basis. Here we develop a novel Variational Bayesian Hidden Markov Model (VB-HMM) to investigate dynamic temporal properties of interactions between salience (SN), default mode (DMN), and central executive (CEN) networks-three brain systems that play a critical role in human cognition. I...
