In this paper, we present a part of our 3-year endeavor for mining the chronic hepatitis data. With our time-series decision tree and PrototypeLines, we have successfully derived a prediction model for liver cirrhosis and detected various exceptionalities in the data respectively. These methods were employed in our spiral discovery of a separate prediction model. Now we believe that it is impor...

Small-intestine-type differentiation of the area-vitellina endoderm of quail embryos, cultured in association with digestive-tract mesenchymes of chick embryos, was analysed chronologically with special attention to the appearance of a striated border and its enzymes (alkaline phosphatase and a-glucosidase). Undifferentiated endoderm of the area vitellina differentiated first into yolk-sac pare...

In this lecture we will develop a construction of locally decodable codes developed in three papers by Yekhanin, Raghavendra, and Eframenko respectively (and chronologically). Yekhanin constructed a family of binary locally decodable codes with a 3-query decoding algorithm based on Mersenne primes. Raghavendra simplified Yekhanin’s construction and extended the ideas beyond binary alphabets. Th...

We point out a close relation between a family of Gödel-type solutions of 3+1 General Relativity and the Landau problem in S2,R2 and H2; in particular, the classical geodesics correspond to Larmor orbits in the Landau problem. We discuss the extent of this relation, by analyzing the solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in these backgrounds. Guided by the analogy with the Landau problem, we sp...

We isolated a chronologically long-lived mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and found a new mutation in pma1 (+) that encoded for an essential P-type proton ATPase. An Asp-138 to Asn mutation resulted in reduced Pma1 activity, concomitant with an increase in the chronological lifespan of this fission yeast. This study corroborates our previous report indicating Pma1 activity is crucial for the...

Beginning in the 1960s, neurosurgeons and radiologists have made attempts to treat intracranial aneurysms using nonclip techniques. The evolution of such therapy has included acrylics, metallic particles, balloons, electric current, and nondetachable and detachable coils. This article will chronologically review these various techniques and the papers that reported their results so that the rea...

This article describes a semantic system which is based on distributional models obtained from a chronologically structured language resource, namely Google Books Syntactic Ngrams. The models were created using dependency-based contexts and a strategy for reducing the vector space, which consists in selecting the more informative and relevant word contexts. The system allows linguists to analiz...

In order to define standards for philtrum length and mouth width in the newborn infant, 198 term and preterm infants (27 to 41 gestational weeks) were examined. In every case the gestational age was determined chronologically and clinically and the philtrum length and mouth width (oral intercommissural distance) were measured by two observers using standard measurement techniques. Normal values...

I review the research leading from the GUIDON rule-based tutoring system, including the reconfiguration of MYCIN into NEOMYCIN and NEOMYCIN’s generalization in the heuristic classification shell, HERACLES. The presentation is organized chronologically around pictures and dialogues that represent conceptual turning points and crystallize the basic ideas. My purpose is to collect the important re...
