Zhang and Shaman considered the problem of estimating the conditional mean-squared prediciton error (CMSPE) for a Gaussian autoregressive (AR) process. They used the final prediction error (FPE) of Akaike to estimate CMSPE and proposed that FPE’s effectiveness be judged by its asymptotic correlation with CMSPE. However, as pointed out by Kabaila and He, the derivation of this correlation by Zha...

BACKGROUND A 4:1 male to female sex bias has consistently been observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Epidemiological and genetic studies suggest a female protective effect (FPE) may account for part of this bias; however, the mechanism of such protection is unknown. Quantitative assessment of ASD symptoms using the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) shows a bimodal distribution unique to f...

Fluid-phase endocytosis is a homeostatic process with an unknown role in tumor initiation. The driver mutation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is constitutively active KRasG12D, which induces neoplastic transformation of acinar cells through acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM). We have previously shown that KRasG12D-induced ADM is dependent on RAC1 and EGF receptor (EGFR) by a not full...

Abstract In this chapter, we set out the book’s engagements with feminist political ecology (FPE) theory and practice. We first position book in relation to FPE discussions underlying how field is evolving as an open-ended of discourses responding different crises disruptions caused by last years environmental, climate, health, economic crises. then briefly explain was shaped through four relat...

Accuracy, robustness, and minimality are fundamental issues in system-level design. Such properties are generally associated with constraints limiting the feasible model space. The paper focuses on the optimal selection of feedforward neural networks under the accuracy, robustness, and minimality constraints. Model selection, with respect to accuracy, can be carried out within the theoretical f...

A Food Pathogen Enrichment (FPE) broth, which supports the growth of Campylobacter without lysed blood and CO2, was developed. The FPE broth supports the growth of Campylobacter to the same degree as Bolton and Preston broths. Using the FPE broth, we developed a novel rapid protocol to detect small numbers of Campylobacter in 25g of food. The sensitivity of FPE enrichment and PCR to detect Camp...

Although results of recent studies suggest that fermented foods strongly affect the gut microbiota composition and they relieve inflammatory bowel disease symptoms, some reports have described increase inflammation markers based on differences in food materials. This study evaluated effects plant extract (FPE) dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice fecal humans. Mice fed 5% FPE with ...

We recently demonstrated the occurrence of a sucrose-enhanced, fluid-phase endocytic (FPE) mechanism of nutrient uptake in heterotrophic cells. In the present work, the possible enhancement/induction of FPE by photoassimilates other than sucrose was investigated by measuring the incorporation of the fluorescent endocytosis marker d-TR (dextran-Texas red, 3000 mw) into celery (Apium graveolens) ...

Format-preserving encryption (FPE) encrypts a plaintext of some specified format into a ciphertext of the same format—for example, encrypting a social-security number into a social-security number. In this survey we describe FPE and review known techniques for achieving it. These include FFX, a recent proposal made to NIST.

BACKGROUND Mutational analysis of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and K-ras genes to select non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients for treatment with novel EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors is an appealing possibility currently under investigation. Although frozen tumor tissue would probably be the optimal source for analysis, the most common source of tumor material is fixed and...
