abstract in this presentation, a case of bilateral choroidal folds in patient with diabetic retinopathy was reported. by our knowledge, this case presentation is the first report of choroidal folds in diabetic retinopathy, which bilateral symmetric and horizontal folds arranged in macula. the thick choroid that is developed in diabetics may be a cause of these folds but the source of difference...

This paper presents the MRBF network, a new algorithm adapted from the RBF network, to construct the classifiers for predicting phenotypic resistance on 6 protease inhibitors. The performance of the prediction was measured by 10-fold cross-validation. The results show that MRBF gives the lowest average mean square error (MSE) when compared with the traditional RBF network and multiple linear re...

The dispoportionate dropout rate of female college students from math, science, and engineering (MSE) fields has recently received much attention (Brainard, Laurich-McIntyre, 6' Moblqr, 1995; Carlin, 1997). The reasons far women 's higher attrition rate from MSE fields remain unclear. Eighty lstyear university students with apeexisting interest in MSE complehd a computer task-the Implicit Assoc...

the principle of dimensionality reduction with pca is the representation of the dataset ‘x’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ rn  of its covariance matrix. the eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of x in rn carry the most      relevant information of x. these eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. assume that n images in a set are originally represented in mat...

Ribosomal insertions in Drosophila are transcribed at very low levels. The abundance of the most prominent 0.8 kb type 1 insertion transcript increased up to 60-fold when cultured cells were exposed to the DNA intercalating drug chloroquine. After injection of insertion-containing rDNA in circular form into Xenopus laevis oocytes an apparently identical 0.8 kb insertion transcript was synthesiz...
