A simple method for estimating dihydroxyacetone (or glyceraldehyde)

A simple method for estimating dihydroxyacetone (or glyceraldehyde).

A procedure for the microdetermination of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) in biological fluids has been reported by us (1). Because of its relative time-consuming manipulations, a simpler procedure is sought in sacrifice of accuracy for brevity. This paper describes a new method which is based on the reaction between a-hydroxycarbonyl compounds and pyridine nucleotides to form addition compounds (2). Wi...

A Simple Method For Estimating Conditional Probabilities For SVMs

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have become a popular learning algorithm, in particular for large, high-dimensional classification problems. SVMs have been shown to give most accurate classification results in a variety of applications. Several methods have been proposed to obtain not only a classification, but also an estimate of the SVMs confidence in the correctness of the predicted label. In...

A simple method for estimating association constants between monoclonal antibodies and derivatized or native antigens.

We describe a simple method for estimating the association constant between an antibody and an antigen, based on a theoretical treatment of experimental dose-response data. We used this method to calculate the association constants of an anti-progesterone monoclonal antibody for native progesterone and for progesterone 11 alpha-hemisuccinate. These association constants provide a quantitative m...

A simple gravimetric technique for estimating honeydew or nectar production

We describe a simple gravimetric technique for measuring the standing crop or production of carbohydrate-rich solutions such as honeydew or nectar. Simulated honeydew was sampled by absorbing droplets of solutions of known concentration and volume with dried and weighed pieces of filter paper. The change in mass of the paper after redrying provides an estimate of the total solution carbohydrate...
