This paper is concerned with FS-FOIL—an extension of Quinlan’s First-Order Inductive Learning Method (FOIL). In contrast to the classical FOIL algorithm, FS-FOIL uses fuzzy predicates and, thereby, allows to deal not only with categorical variables, but also with numerical ones, without the need to draw sharp boundaries. This method is described in full detail along with discussions how it can ...

investigation of aluminium uptake by human erythrocytes was the major aim of this study. packed red blood cells were incubated in earle's medium (ph 7.4) containing varying concentrations of aluminium (0-160 /lg/j) as aik(so.), and aluminium content of the cells were determined using flameless atomic absorption. there was significant increase in aluminium content of the cells. addition of ...

In this paper, we aim to understand whether current language and vision (LaVi) models truly grasp the interaction between the two modalities. To this end, we propose an extension of the MSCOCO dataset, FOIL-COCO, which associates images with both correct and ‘foil’ captions, that is, descriptions of the image that are highly similar to the original ones, but contain one single mistake (‘foil wo...

Insulation breakdown of dry-type valve-side bushing cores under electrothermal compound stress has become a key factor limiting the safe and stable operation converter transformer. Based on slices real core, it is observed for first time that fold, peeling off, fracture defects exist near aluminium (Al) foil edge, accompanied by many metal spikes with curvature radius <4 μm. Coupled capacitor s...

1. Rat gut perfusion studies in vivo at pH 4, 6 or 8 using aluminium chloride or equimolar aluminium chloride and sodium citrate showed that elevated plasma aluminium concentrations were associated with aluminium solubility in the perfusion. Elevated plasma aluminium levels and soluble aluminium in the perfusate occurred with perfusion of equimolar aluminium chloride and sodium citrate at all t...

The extent to which Chinese is represented phonologically or orthographically in verbal short-term memory was investigated using a short-term cued recall task (Tehan & Humphreys, 1998). In all conditions, proactive interference was induced by providing a retrieval cue (e.g. wild animal) that subsumed a to-be-recalled target word (e.g. leopard) and a to-beforgotten foil word (e.g. tiger), so tha...

In the present study, cobalt sulphide was successfully synthesised via a simple, one-step hydrothermal route. The material has been characterised infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, electron microscopy (FESEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). FTIR spectrum reveals peak at 1126 cm-1, which corresponds to S-O bending mode, 663 represents stretching. According XRD analysis, formed with CoS1.097 configurati...
