We previously reported that in young adult males growth hormone (GH) release is related to exercise intensity in a linear dose-response manner (Pritzlaff et al. J Appl Physiol 87: 498-504, 1999). To investigate the effects of gender and exercise intensity on GH release, eight women (24.3 +/- 1.3 yr, 171 +/- 3.2 cm height, 63.6 +/- 8.7 kg weight) were each tested on six randomly ordered occasion...

Floral phenology and breeding system of Tillandsia streptophylla (Bromeliaceae) were studied in a low inundated forest in Yucatan, Mexico. During the flowering season, from March to August, terminal scapose 1-branched, paniculate inflorescences are produced with one flower per branch opening per day, over a period of 11-29 days. Flowers are tubular, light violet, with the stigma placed below th...

Severe hypoglycemic episodes, as defined as altered consciousness to the extent that self treatment is impossible, were sought prospectively in pregnant diabetic women. One or more episodes were found in none of 21 gestational onset, insulin-requiring women during their 28 pregnancies but were present in 19 (33%) of the 57 already insulin dependent (Type 1) women during 26 (36%) of their 72 pre...

In this study, fruit quality characteristics of sweet cherry cultivars (Prunus avium L. cvs. 0900 Ziraat, Kordia, Lambert, Regina, Sweetheart) grown in Ordu province Turkey were investigated. The Kordia cultivar's mass, width, and length measured higher than Lambert Ziraat cultivars. However, it was observed that the width cultivar similar to Regina Sweetheart. It determined firmness Sweetheart...

This paper presents multiple-instance learning based approach to multimodal data mining in a multimedia database. This approach is a highly scalable and adaptable framework that the authors call co-learning. Theoretic analysis and empirical evaluations demonstrate the advantage of the strong scalability and adaptability. Although this framework is general for multimodal data mining in any speci...
