‘ Ah Introduction to Computing with Neural Nets

Artificial neural net models have been studied for many yeara in the hope of achieving human-like performance in the fields of speech and image recognition. These models are composed of many nonlinear computational elements operating in parallel and arranged in patterns reminiscent of biological neural nets. Computational elements or nodes are connected via weights that are typically adapted du...

We thank Dr Schachner for his interest and comments on our recent experimental findings [1]. The first facet of our study was that although initially (at 1 month), neointima formation in vein grafts was inhibited by perivenous application of fibrin glue at the time of implantation, at 4 months neointimal formation was not significantly different from controls [1]. Dr Schachner has implied that ...
