Harmful singlet oxygen can be helpful.

Highly reactive harmful singlet oxygen O2(1delta(g)) can be helpful while relaxing to its triplet ground state O2(3sigma(g)-). The energy emitted during this relaxation from the excited energy state is discernable at 634 nm. We report here on the effect of this energy as photon illumination and as energy transfer in air on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by human monocytes, meas...

Negative Training Data Can be Harmful to Text Classification

This paper studies the effects of training data on binary text classification and postulates that negative training data is not needed and may even be harmful for the task. Traditional binary classification involves building a classifier using labeled positive and negative training examples. The classifier is then applied to classify test instances into positive and negative classes. A fundamen...
