To discover new cochlea-specific genes as candidate genes for nonsyndromic hearing impairment, we searched in The Institute of Genome Research database for expressed sequence tags isolated from the cochlea only. This led to the cloning and characterization of a human gene named melanoma inhibitory activity-like (MIAL; HGMW-approved symbol OTOR alias MIAL) gene. In situ hybridization revealed MI...

Recommended by George Andrews We investigate the integral representation of infinite sums involving the reciprocals of triple bino-mial coefficients. We also recover some wellknown properties of ζ3 and extend the range of results given by other authors.

PIOTR´SNIADY ABSTRACT. We prove a family of new identities fulfilled by multino-mial coefficients, which were conjectured by Dykema and Haagerup. Our method bases on a study of the, so–called, triangular operator T by the means of the free probability theory.

A growing number of applications, e.g. video surveillance and medical image analysis, require training recognition systems from large amounts of weakly annotated data while some targeted interactions with a domain expert are allowed to improve the training process. In such cases, active learning (AL) can reduce labeling costs for training a classifier by querying the expert to provide the label...

We provide some new conditions under which the graded Betti numbers of a mono-mial ideal can be computed in terms of the graded Betti numbers of smaller ideals, thus complementing Eliahou and Kervaire's splitting approach. As applications, we show that edge ideals of graphs are splittable, and we provide an iterative method for computing the Betti numbers of the cover ideals of Cohen-Macaulay b...

Despite its ambiguous name the protein melanoma-inhibitory-activity (MIA) was identified as a key molecule involved in progression and metastasis of malignant melanomas. Therefore, in this review we intend to update the current knowledge on expression patterns, transcriptional regulation, function and clinical relevance of MIA. Furthermore, we will cover the recently discovered MIA homologous p...

vanishes Note that index D M unlike the dimension of the ker nel and the dimension of the cokernel of D M is independent of the metric used in the construction of D M In fact according to the Atiyah Singer Index Theorem it is equal to a topological invariant A M the A genus ofM cf Ch III Thm We recall that A M is a characteristic number de ned by evaluating a certain polyno mial in the Pontrjag...

Celem badania bylo określenie ryzyka niewyplacalności i ocena wspolzalezności pomiedzy wskaźnikami a ich determinantami (czynnikami) klubow ekstraklasy pilki noznej w Polsce latach 2017–2019. Badania podzielono na dwa etapy. W pierwszym określono ryzyko znaczeniu finansowym, prawnym rachunkowym. drugim podstawie przeglądu literatury dostepnych danych zidentyfikowano determinanty zawodowych oraz...

In certain toxicological experiments with laboratory animals, the outcome of interest is the occurrence of dead or malformed fetuses in a 'litter. Previous investigations have shown that the simple one~ parameter binomial and Poisson models generally provide poor fits to this type of binary data. In this paper, a type of correlated bino~ mial model is proposed for use in this situation. First, ...
