DNA damaging agents and radiation, cytotoxins and anti-cancer drugs, telomere erosion and cytokines, culture shock and mitogenic stimuli, oncogenes and tumor suppressors can induce both cell cycle arrest and cellular senescence. Due to this semi-coincidence, senescence is confused with cell cycle arrest, or even more misleadingly, with growth inhibition. With such misconceptions, cellular senes...

The biomedical field offers many learning tasks that share unique challenges: large amounts of unpaired data, and a high cost to generate labels. In this work, we develop a method to address these issues with semi-supervised learning in regression tasks (e.g., translation from source to target). Our model uses adversarial signals to learn from unpaired datapoints, and imposes a cycle-loss recon...

Let H be a cubic graph admitting a 3-edge-coloring c : E(H) → Z3 such that the edges colored with 0 and μ ∈ {1, 2} induce a Hamilton circuit of H and the edges colored with 1 and 2 induce a 2-factor F . The graph H is semi-Kotzig if switching colors of edges in any even subgraph of F yields a new 3-edge-coloring ofH having the same property as c . A spanning subgraphH of a cubic graph G is call...

This paper describes a development life cycle for telecommunications services emphasising requirements capture, formal specification and validation. The service is developed along the three dimensions of the methodology: refinement, completeness and formality, aiming for a complete, consistent and formally specified service definition. The described methodology can be integrated into currently ...

1. Repeating bursts of motor neurone impulses have been recorded from the nerves of completely isolated nerve cords of the medicinal leech. The salient features of this burst rhythm are similar to those obtained in the semi-intact preparation during swimming. Hence the basic swimming rhythm is generated by a central oscillator. 2. Quantitative comparisons between the impulse patterns obtained f...

The perfect 1-factorization conjecture by A. Kotzig [7] asserts the existence of a 1-factorization of a complete graph K2n in which any two 1-factors induce a Hamiltonian cycle. This conjecture is one of the prominent open problems in graph theory. Apart from its theoretical significance it has a number of applications, particularly in designing topologies for wireless communication. Recently, ...

decision making and problem solving are especially important skills for business and life. as an innovation leading corporate, sony has gradually lost their superiority in innovation and core competences under more and more intensive competition environment. this report is made to investigate sony current procedure on its solving problems and making decision, analyze approaches and tools used b...

The environmental sustainability of a semi-industrial solar photo-Fenton reactor, treating real effluents emanating from a pharmaceutical laboratory, is assessed herein. The life cycle assessment/analysis (LCA) methodology was employed and real life cycle inventory (LCI) data was collected from a ferrioxalate-assisted homogeneous solar photo-Fenton wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), at Ciudad R...
