The solution structure of the C-terminal fragment 205-316 of thermolysin has been determined by 1H-NMR methods. The fragment forms a dimer in which each subunit has two different regions: the largely disordered N-terminal segment 205-260 and the structurally well-defined segment 261-316. The structured part of each subunit is composed of three helices and is largely coincident with the correspo...

BACKGROUND To compare the incidence of rainbow glare (RG) after femtosecond laser assisted-LASIK (FS-LASIK) using the upgraded FS200 femtosecond laser with different flap cut parameter settings. METHODS A consecutive series of 129 patients (255 eyes) who underwent FS-LASIK for correcting myopia and/or astigmatism using upgraded WaveLight FS200 femtosecond laser with the original settings was ...

In this paper, we consider different strategies for identifying the cuisine, given its ingredients. This project aims to explore what combination of ingredients is helpful in identifying a cuisine if the recipe is not given. This has been tackled as a problem of cuisine classification. We also explore different classification algorithms in tandem with approaches like taking combination of multi...

An analysis of 255 fibreoptic bronchoscopies showed that the major indication for bronchoscopy was suspected bronchial carcinoma (93% of cases). Of the 183 patients finally shown to have bronchial carcinoma 83% had abnormal bronchoscopy findings and 65% had bronchial biopsy specimens diagnostic of malignancy. These figures were superior to those obtainable with rigid bronchoscopy, particularly ...

391 Abstract— Detection and correction of errors in digital data is an important issue for the modern communication systems. Therefore an efficient error control code is needed to protect the digital data. In high speed communication system Reed-Solomon codes are widely used to provide error protection especially against the burst errors. Reed-Solomon codes are cyclic, non-binary codes. In this...

In this paper we consider models for predicting the helpfulness rating of Amazon book reviews. We examine features such as the review’s star rating, the length of the review text, the readability of the review text, and the amount of comparisons made in the review. We compare Support Vector Machine and Random Forests models both for regression and classification.
