Kawasaki disease (KD) is recognized as a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Although global in distribution, Japan records the highest incidence of KD in the world. Epidemiological reports from the two most populous countries in the world, namely China and India, indicate that KD is now being increasingly recognized. Whether this increased reporting is d...

In this paper we consider the problem of finding sets of points that conform to a given underlying model from within a dense, noisy set of observations. This problem is motivated by the task of efficiently linking faint asteroid detections, but is applicable to a range of spatial queries. We survey current tree-based approaches, showing a tradeoff exists between single tree and multiple tree al...

Knowledge distillation (KD) is a method in which teacher network guides the learning of student network, thereby resulting an improvement performance network. Recent research this area has concentrated on developing effective definitions knowledge and efficient methods transfer while ignoring ability To fully utilize potential improve efficiency, study proposes multiple-stage KD (MSKD) that all...

The development of novel, systemically administered radionuclide therapies (such as radioimmunotherapy) relies on the ability to predict dose-limiting toxicity to normal tissue. Where the kidney is the principal route of excretion of the radionuclide preparation and/or breakdown of products, nephrotoxicity may be the dose-limiting factor. Until recently, conventional (MIRD) dosimetry assumed th...

Knowledge distillation (KD) is a promising teacher-student learning paradigm that transfers information from cumbersome teacher to student network. To avoid the training cost of large network, recent studies propose distill knowledge itself, called Self-KD. However, due limitations performance and capacity student, soft-labels or features distilled by barely provide reliable guidance. Moreover,...

We examined the distribution of the 34-kilodalton (34-kD) tyrosine kinase substrate in tissues of adult and embryonic chicken using both a mouse monoclonal antibody and a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against the affinity purified 34 kD protein. We analyzed the localization by immunoblotting of tissue extracts, by immunofluorescence staining of frozen tissue sections, and by staining sectio...

Although Kawasaki disease (KD), which was first reported in the 1960s, is assumed to be infectious, its aetiological agent(s) remains unknown. We compared the geographical distribution of the force of infection and the super-annual periodicity of KD and seven other paediatric infectious diseases in Japan. The geographical distribution of the force of infection, which was estimated as the invers...

Using the squid giant axon, we analyzed biochemically the molecular organization of the axonal cytoskeleton underlying the axolemma (subaxolemmal cytoskeleton). The preparation enriched in the subaxolemmal cytoskeleton was obtained by squeezing out the central part of the axoplasm using a roller. The electrophoretic banding pattern of the subaxolemmal cytoskeleton was characterized by large amo...
