In concept learning, inductive techniques perform a global approximation to the target concept. Instead, lazy learning techniques use local approximations to form an implicit global approximation of the target concept. In this paper we present C-LID, a lazy learning technique that uses LID for generating local approximations to the target concept. LID generates local approximations in the form ...

Levodopa remains the mainstay of treatment for Parkinson disease (PD), but its use is associated with dyskinesias (LID) in many patients. LID likely reflect dysregulated release of dopamine combined with altered postsynaptic mechanisms due to pulsatile dopamine receptor stimulation. Dopamine D receptors are increased in animal models of LID, and experimental LID is attenuated by suppression of ...

Two experiments tested the roles of hidden toys and motor history in the AB task with l&monthold infants. In Experiment 1 (N = 24), infants were tested in lid and toy versions of the task, each comprised of A and B trials. No toys were ever hidden in the lid condition. On all A trials, an experimenter directed infants’ attention to one of two lids (the A lid) and allowed infants to reach follow...

Drosophila Little imaginal discs (Lid) is a recently described member of the JmjC domain class of histone demethylases that specifically targets trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3). To understand its biological function, we have utilized a series of Lid deletions and point mutations to assess the role that each domain plays in histone demethylation, in animal viability, and in cell grow...

Local item dependence (LID) can emerge when the test items are nested within common stimuli or item groups. This study proposes a three-level hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM) to model LID when LID is due to such contextual effects. The proposed three-level HGLM was examined by analyzing simulated data sets and was compared with the Rasch-equivalent two-level HGLM that ignores such a...

To improve the efficacy of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer patients, a low-iodine diet (LID) prior to the therapy is recommended. In iodine-rich areas such as Korea, however, a strict LID is very difficult to maintain. We experienced the cases of three patients showing low adherence to the LID before initial RAI therapy, and analyzed the main food source suppl...

We present a novel approach to Automatic Language Identification (LID). We propose Perceptually Guided Training (PGT), a novel LID training method, involving identification of utterance parts which are particularly significant perceptually for the language identification process, and exploitation of these Perceptually Significant Regions (PSRs) to guide the LID training process. Our approach in...

PURPOSE To examine the conjugacy of lid saccades in normal subjects. METHODS Saccades of both upper eyelids were recorded simultaneously by means of small, lightweight, magnetic search coils, fixed on each lid. Subjects then made vertical eye saccades between fixed targets. The associated eye saccades were recorded simultaneously by means of magnetic search coils. The authors further examined...

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the addition of dexamethasone (DEX) or epinephrine to lidocaine (LID) altered the characteristics of anesthesia and cardiorespiratory variables following caudal epidural application in cows. Twenty adult dairy cows were randomly assigned to receive one of the treatments of LID (0.2 mg/kg), DEX (8 mg), lidocaine-dexamethasone (LIDEX; 0.2 mg/k...
