insect growth regulators and spinosyns which are physiologically and ecologically selective, respectively, have been investigated as replacements or complements to non-selective conventional insecticides. the effects of diflubenzuron, hexaflumuron, profenofos, spinosad and thiodicarb were assessed on the 1st instars of cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hã¼bner) using dietary and leaf disc ...

background: amelogenesis imperfecta (ai) is an inherited tooth disorder. despite the fact that up to now, several gene muta­tions in mmp20, enam, amelx and klk4 genes have been reported to be associated with ai, many other genes sug­gested to be involved. the main objective of this study was to find the mutations in three major candidate genes including mmp20, enam and klk4 responsible for ai f...

Proof of Proposition 1. Suppose an attribute value ai is not recorded in any of the data sources S1 through Sn for an entity instance. Then, from Assumptions 1 and 2 in the paper, we have P A= ai AS1 = ak AS2 = al ASn = atW i = k i = l i = t = P AS1 = ak A= ai P AS2 = al A= ai × · · ·×P ASn = at A= ai P AS1 = ak AS2 = al ASn = at P A= ai = 1−R A S1 / m− 1 1−RS2 / m− 1 × · · ·× 1−RSn / m− 1 P AS...

Abstract The release of ChatGPT to the general public has sparked discussions about dangers artificial intelligence (AI) among public. European Commission’s draft AI Act further fueled these discussions, particularly in relation definition and assignment risk levels different technologies. Security concerns systems arise from need protect against potential adversaries safeguard individuals deci...

the application of ai-li alloy in aerospace and aircrafts industries have a promising future due to its lower density and a comparatible mechanical properties to the other aluminum alloys. the major problems encountered with parts made of al-li alloys, include segregation and brittleness. the presence of a precipitation free zone (pfz) and also the concentration of some elements such as k,na,o,...

In crop plants, aluminum (AI) rhizotoxicity is a major problem worldwide; however, the cause of AI toxicity remains elusive. The effects of AI on the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins[l,4,5]P3)-mediated signal transduction pathway were investigated in wheat roots. Exogenously applied AI (50 pM) rapidly inhibited root growth (<2 hr) but did not affect general root metabolism. An lns(1,4,5)P3 tra...

Artificial Intelligence, the big promise of the last millennium, has apparently made its way into our daily lives. Cell phones with speech control, evolutionary computing in data mining or power grids, optimized via neural network, show its applicability in industrial environments. The original expectation of true intelligence and thinking machines lies still ahead of us. Researchers are, howev...

This paper describes experiments documenting significant variations in word usage patterns within social subgroups of AI researchers. As some phrases have very different collocational patterns than their constituent words, we look beyond occurrences of individual words, to consider word phrases. The mutual information statistic is used to measure the information content of phrases beyond that o...

Empirical examinations of American Indian (AI) mascots have only recently entered into the discourse of mainstream psychology. The present studies examined implicit attitudes of non-AI people towards AI mascots and the extent to which they are related to attitudes towards AI people. Significant concordance was observed between negative bias toward AI mascots and AI people. Negative AI mascot bi...
