Cyanide compounds are hazardous which extremely toxic to living organisms, especially free cyanide in the form of hydrogen gas (HCN) and ion (CN−). These metabolic inhibitors since they can tightly bind metals metalloenzymes. Anthropogenic sources contribute significantly CN− contamination environment, more specifically surface underground waters. The treatment processes, such as chemical physi...

We study banks’ profitability in the US economy by means of dynamic factor models. Our results emphasize importance a few common cyclical market factors that greatly determine banking profitability. conduct exhaustive regressions big data set macroeconomic variables aiming to gain interpretability our statistical factors. This allows us identify three main underlying profitability: financial bu...

This work validates the generalizability of MRI-based classification Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and controls (CN) to an external data set task prediction conversion AD in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We used a conventional support vector machine (SVM) deep convolutional neural network (CNN) approach based on structural MRI scans that underwent either minimal pre-proc...

One critical aim of product family design is to offer distinct variants that attract a variety of market segments while maximizing the number of common parts to reduce manufacturing cost. Several indices have been developed for measuring the degree of commonality in existing product lines to compare product families or assess improvement of a redesign. In the product family optimization literat...

discrimination of regenerative cirrhotic nodules of the liver (cn) from hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is sometimes difficult. we examined the utility of agnor staining in this context. fifteen cases of hcc and 25 cases of cn were stained by agnor method and the mean agnor number for one hundred nuclei in each case was determined. there was a significant difference between the mean agnor counts...

Multiple regression is a widely used technique for data analysis in social and behavioral research. The complexity of interpreting such results increases when correlated predictor variables are involved. Commonality analysis provides a method of determining the variance accounted for by respective predictor variables and is especially useful in the presence of correlated predictors. However, co...

The Commonality-Based Crossover Framework defines crossover as a two-step process: 1) preserve the maximal common schema of two parents, and 2) complete the solution with a construction heuristic. In these “heuristic” operators, the first step is a form of selection. This commonality-based form of selection has been isolated in GENIE. Using random parent selection and a non-elitist generational...
