The resistance of yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.)-based wood wool cement board (WWCB) against Philippine termites was evaluated under laboratory and field conditions. Tests were conducted following the FPRDI standard procedures in determining the resistance of WWCB against subterranean and drywood termites. Results of the laboratory tests showed that WWCB was resistant to both Microcerotermes lo...

متن کاملExploding vesicles
While studying fatty acid vesicles as model primitive cell membranes, we encountered a dramatic phenomenon in which light triggers the sudden rupture of micron-scale dye-containing vesicles, resulting in rapid release of vesicle contents. We show that such vesicle explosions are caused by an increase in internal osmotic pressure mediated by the oxidation of the internal buffer by reactive oxyge...
متن کاملUnderstanding the exploding gradient problem
Training Recurrent Neural Networks is more troublesome than feedforward ones because of the vanishing and exploding gradient problems detailed in Bengio et al. (1994). In this paper we attempt to understand the fundamental issues underlying the exploding gradient problem by exploring it from an analytical, a geometric and a dynamical system perspective. Our analysis is used to justify the simpl...
