A Bayesian network is an appropriate tool to work with the uncertainty that is typical of real-life applications. Bayesian network arcs represent statistical dependence between different variables and can be automatically elicited from database by Bayesian network learning algorithms such as K2. In the data mining field, association rules can also be interpreted as expressing statistical depend...

Yesha Y. Sivan is the CEO of the K2K Knowledge Infrastructure Laboratory. He received a B.A. from Tel Aviv University and the M.A. and Ed.D from Harvard. His current research is in knowledge management and the creation of knowledge systems for corporate, hi-tech, and military environments. His publications include From the MTV Age to the LLL Age: The Story of a Knowledge Infrastructure for the ...

The proteins encoded by the A56R and K2L genes of vaccinia virus form a heterodimer (A56/K2) and have a fusion regulatory role as deletion or mutation of either causes infected cells to form large syncytia spontaneously. Here, we showed that syncytia formation is dependent on proteins of the recently described entry fusion complex (EFC), which are also required for virus-cell fusion and low-pH-...

We elucidate constraints imposed by confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking on the infrared behaviour of the dressed-quark and -gluon propagators, and dressed-quark-gluon vertex. In covariant gauges the dressing of the gluon propagator is completely specified by P(k2) := 1/[1+Π(k2)], where Π(k2) is the vacuum polarisation. In the absence of particle-like singularities in the dressed-...

This is a small pattern language for running online trainings. The language starts with an entry pattern ONLINE TRAINING. All other patterns are supporting this pattern and help to make online trainings more alive. Some of the patterns are not exclusive for online uses, for instance PREPARED EXAMPLE or TEST RUN. These patterns could be part of a pattern language for trainings as well. They are ...

During the last 20 years, the main clinical effects of vitamin K2 on bone homeostasis have been investigated in both indirect and direct vitamin K treatment regimens. This chapter is mainly based on randomized clinical trials (RCT) lasting for more than 1 year. As for vitamin K1 (phylloquinone, indirect treatment) and vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK‐4 and MK‐7 direct treatment), respectively, the cl...

Reduced levels of kindlin-2 (K2) in endothelial cells derived from K2(+/-)mice or C2C12 myoblastoid cells treated with K2 siRNA showed disorganization of their actin cytoskeleton and decreased spreading. These marked changes led us to examine direct binding between K2 and actin. Purified K2 interacts with F-actin in cosedimentation and surface plasmon resonance analyses and induces actin aggreg...

Convenient and simple procedures for the synthesis of functionalized Quinoxaline derivatives were developed via one-pot four-component reaction of o-aminoanilin, acetylenic ester, and malonyl dichloride in the presence of K2 CO3 as effective base catalyst. These compounds widely are used in various industries like paint, pharmaceutical and medicine. Quinoxaline derivatives are also part of anti...
