Among the conditions in which creatine kinase (CK)-MB activity is elevated in the absence of myocardial injury or infarction, macroenzyme (macro) CK merits special attention from clinicians. We present 2 cases, 1 with macro CK type 1 and the other with macro CK type 2, to stress the common clinical situations and diagnostic dilemma that clinicians encounter when evaluating patients with macro C...

We define the class of micro-macro stack graphs, a new class of graphs modeling infinite-state sequential systems with a decidable model-checking problem. Micro-macro stack graphs are the configuration graphs of stack automata whose states are partitioned into micro and macro states. Nodes of the graph are configurations of the stack automaton where the state is a macro state. Edges of the grap...

This paper presents Wizard, a generalised framework for learning macro-actions in planning. Wizard suggests macroactions that can be provided as additional actions for future planning. It enhances a domain for a planner through comprehensive macro suggestions. Wizard learns macro-actions for arbitrary planners or domains without exploiting their structural properties. It not only captures macro...

idiarrhea is known as the current and economic disease among new born calves. it is characterized by dehydration, loss of macro-minerals, weakness, recumbency and death. in calves diarrhea with different etiology, loss of liquid and electrolytes are the principle signs and the cause of death too. therefore, determination of the amounts of liquid and mainly electrolytes depletion is important in...

EVAL is a widely used yet frequently misunderstood SAS macro language function due to its seemingly simple form. However, when its actual argument is a complex macro expression interlaced with special characters, mixed arithmetic and logical operators, or macro quotation functions, its usage and result become elusive and problematic. In this paper, we aim to explore and demystify the intricate ...

We analyze the use of built-in policies, or macro-actions, as a form of domain knowledge that can improve the speed and scaling of reinforcement learning algorithms. Such macro-actions are often used in robotics, and macro-operators are also well-known as an aid to state-space search in AI systems. The macro-actions we consider are closed-loop policies with termination conditions. The macro-act...

The MSC macro package facilitates LaTEX users to easily include Message Sequence Charts in their texts. This article describes the motivation for developing the MSC macro package, the features of the MSC macro package, and the design of the MSC macro package.

Enhanced Inter Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC) for co-channel deployments of pico cells throughout a macro cell layout is studied. In particular, we analyze a scenario where only some macro cells have picos deployed, while other macro cells have no small cells. The challenge for such highly irregular scenarios is how to operate eICIC, and especially how to coordinate macro-cell muting. O...

The importance of production systems in artificial intelligence has been repeatedly demonstrated by a number of expert systems. Much effort has therefore been expended on finding an efficient processing mechanism to process production systems. While data-flow principles of execution offer the promise of high programmability for numerical computations, we study here variable resolution actors, c...
