In the supervised learning setting termed Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL), the examples are bags of instances, and the bag label is a function of the labels of its instances. Typically, this function is the Boolean OR. The learner observes a sample of bags and the bag labels, but not the instance labels that determine the bag labels. The learner is then required to emit a classification rule f...

Well-dispersed bimetallic Ni-Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with different compositions have been successfully grown on the MIL-96 by a simple liquid impregnation method using NaBH4 as the reducing agent. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy measurements wer...

Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a recently characterized T cell-derived cytokine with a significant homology to IL-2, IL-4 and IL-15. To determine whether IL-21 has broad immunoregulatory activity and can stimulate durable antitumour responses, we constructed mouse IL-21 (mIL-21) recombinant plasmid and evaluated its antitumor efficacy. Mouse IL-21 cDNA was amplified from Con A-activated mouse T cell...

Electronic energies and elastic constants of four amino functionalized MIL-47(V) supercells were computed using plane wave density functional theory to determine the influence of the substituent positions on the organic linker. An inverse relationship between the ab initio energies and the elastic constants was found, indicating that the high electronic stability correlates with high mechanical...

Automatic video tagging systems are targeted at assigning semantic concepts (“tags”) to videos by linking textual descriptions with the audio-visual video content. To train such systems, we investigate online video from portals such as YouTubeas a large-scale, freely available knowledge source. Tags provided by video owners serve as weak annotations indicating that a target concept appears in a...

Later entry of methyl or ethyl groups was carried out for the economical synthesis of trigone trimer cluster MIL-100Al oriented from H3BTC directly. The pure phase MIL-100Al was obtained in a DMF aqueous solution, and equal amounts of methyl and carboxyl groups are the key for the successful synthesis of MIL-100Al.

Mixed matrix membrane used to selective removal of CO2 was considered as an efficient solution to energy and environmental sustainability. In this study, a MMM that consists of amide functionalized porous coordination polymer filler (MIL-53-NH2) was successfully prepared, which sharply promotes the CO2/N2 selectivity from 44 (neat polymeric membrane) to 75. Remarkably, the positive effect of am...

Ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized inside a porous metal-organic framework (MIL-101) via a ship-in-bottle (SIB) technique. Unlike previously reported IL-incorporated MIL-101s, IL@MIL-101 prepared by the SIB approach was very stable over several cycles for the liquid phase adsorption of benzothiophene from liquid fuel.

Recent healthcare legislation, financial pressures, and regulatory oversight have increased the need to create improved mechanisms for performance measurement, quality management tracking, and outcomesbased research. The Anesthesia Quality Institute (AQI) has established the National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry (NACOR) to support these requirements for a wide-range of customers includ...
