We conduct an empirical study of machine learning functionalities provided by major cloud service providers, which we call machine learning clouds. Machine learning clouds hold the promise of hiding all the sophistication of running large-scale machine learning: Instead of specifying how to run a machine learning task, users only specify what machine learning task to run and the cloud figures o...

Currently, numerically simulated synthetic seismograms are widely used by seismologists for seismological inferences. The generation of these synthetic seismograms requires large amount of computing resources, and the maintenance of these observed seismograms requires massive storage. Traditional high-performance computing platforms is inefficient to handle these applications because rapid comp...

Remazolbrilliant Blue covalently linked to amylose (Amylose Azure) has been used for the determination of ex-amylase (Rinderknecht, Wilding, and Haverback, 1967). It forms an insoluble suspension in aqueous media, but liberates a soluble highly coloured blue dye as a result of amylase activity. This communication describes the use of this compound for the demonstration of amylase isoenzymes sep...

The specific activities of highly purified preparations of human parotid and pancreatic amylase on several different soluble and insoluble starches were compared. The ratio of parotid to pancreatic activity varied with the physical nature of the substrate. With all soluble starches, irrespective of source, parotid amylase exhibited a higher specific activity than did pancreatic amylase; the rev...

-Biosorption potential of sunflower seed hull to remove reactive textile dye contaminated solutions was the purpose of this investigation. Azure A chloride dye was chosen as a model for this investigation. Pretreatment, initial pH, biomass dosage, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature were evaluated in batch mode studies. Preliminary results indicate that acid and base pretrea...
