The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) has three detectors: a large and a small format CCD (WFC and HRC), and a 1024x1024 MAMA Solar Blind Channel (SBC). During the Thermal Vacuum testing at GSFC in 1999 March, flats with S/N=100 per pixel were obtained for the six SBC filters and two prisms. The pixel-to-pixel P-flats are independent of wavelength to <1%. Because of a temperature dependence in ...

The simple Bayesian classi er (SBC), sometimes called Naive-Bayes, is built based on a conditional independence model of each attribute given the class. The model was previously shown to be surprisingly robust to obvious violations of this independence assumption, yielding accurate classi cation models even when there are clear conditional dependencies. The SBC can serve as an excellent tool fo...

The nature and etiology of so-called simple bone cyst (SBC) are still a subject of debate. Our comprehensive review of the literature suggests that SBC, which appears histologically to be a single entity, has different natures and etiologies, resulting in divergent clinical features. In addition, an interesting case of mandibular SBC in an 11-year-old girl is presented with details of radiograp...

Early ripening in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is a crucial agronomic trait. The fruits of the grape line 'Summer Black' (SBBM), which contains a bud mutation, can be harvested approximately one week earlier than the 'Summer Black' (SBC)control. To investigate the molecular mechanism of the bud mutation related to early ripening, we detected genome-wide genetic variations based on re-sequencing. I...

A portion of the minute chylomicrons less than 75 nm in diameter are transcytosed from the extravascular tissue into the subepithelial blood capillaries (sBC) in the villous apices of the rat jejunum. However, the details of the transportation mechanism have not been clarified. In this study, the endothelial receptor involved in the transportation of minute chylomicrons into the sBC's lumina wa...

It is known that Naive Bayesian classifier (NB) works very well on some domains, and poorly on some. The performance of NB suffers in domains that involve correlated features. C4.5 decision trees, on the other hand, typically perform better than the Nafve Bayesian algorithm on such domains. This paper describes a Selective Bayesian classifier (SBC) that simply uses only those features that C4.5...

The simple Bayesian classi er (SBC) is commonly thought to assume that attributes are independent given the class, but this is apparently contradicted by the surprisingly good performance it exhibits in many domains that contain clear attribute dependences. No explanation for this has been proposed so far. In this paper we show that the SBC does not in fact assume attribute independence, and ca...

Metastasis is one of the most enigmatic aspects of cancer pathogenesis and is a major cause of cancer-associated mortality. Secondary bone cancer (SBC) is a complex disease caused by metastasis of tumor cells from their primary site and is characterized by intricate interplay of molecular interactions. Identification of targets for multifactorial diseases such as SBC, the most frequent complica...

OBJECTIVES To improve the interpretation of simple bone cyst (SBC) lesions of the jaw. METHODS A comparative study of SBC lesions of the jaw and extracranial bones was performed through a literature survey. RESULTS In extracranial SBC, the cavities were always filled with fluid, and a high recurrence rate was shown through extensive research. Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) was included in the d...
