Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT; also coagulation surface induced time [ID is a routine method for monitoring heparin treatment [2-5]. This time is influenced by the type of reagent, the method of analysis, and the laboratory instrument used; thus, the result will vary from one laboratory to another [6, 7]. Variation in heparin sensitivity between batches of re-agents produced from ...

Although water and land pollution are very dangerous, air pollution has its own peculiarities due to its transboundary dispersion of pollutants over the entire world. In any well planned urban set up, industrial pollution takes a back seat and vehicular emissions take precedence as the major cause of urban air pollution. In the present study, Air pollution tolerance index was calculated for var...

This study investigated the relationship between student-faculty informal relationships and three freshman year educational outcomes. After controlling for the influence of 14 student pre-enroilment characteristics, such as high school academic performance, academic apti tude, personality needs, and expectations of certain aspects of college, eight measures of the frequency and strength of stud...

Compared to their ancestors in the early 1970s, present day computer games are of incredible complexity and show magnificent graphical performance. However, in programming intelligent opponents, the game industry still applies techniques developed some 30 years ago. In this paper, we investigate whether opponent programming can be treated as a problem of behavior learning. To this end, we assum...

ions a ects the complexity of reasoning with those representations (see e.g. Levesque 1988, Stenning & Oberlander 1995). Put simply, the most e ective system of representation is generally the one which is just expressive enough for the abstractions the task requires, but no more. If it were more expressive, it would be less e ective, thanks to its o ering large but unnecessary inference spaces...
