Given a noisy dataset, how to locate erroneous instances and attributes and rank suspicious instances based on their impacts on the system performance is an interesting and important research issue. We provide in this paper an Error Detection and Impact-sensitive instance Ranking (EDIR) mechanism to address this problem. Given a noisy dataset D, we first train a benchmark classifier T from D. T...

PURPOSE Elastin is a major arterial structural protein, and elastin-derived peptides are related to arterial change. We previously reported on a novel assay developed using aortic elastin peptides; however, its clinical implications remain unclear. In this study, we assessed whether anti-elastin antibody titers reflect the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) or its characteristics. MATERIAL...

RGS2 is a negative regulator of G protein signaling that contains a GTPase-activating domain and a β-tubulin binding region. This study aimed to determine the localization and function of RGS2 during mouse oocyte maturation in vitro. Immunofluorescent staining revealed that RGS2 was widely expressed in the cytoplasm with a greater abundance on both meiotic spindles and first/second polar bodies...

BACKGROUND Avian influenza (AI) infection in poultry can result in high morbidity and mortality, and negatively affect international trade. Because most AI vaccines used for poultry are inactivated, our knowledge of immunity against AI is based largely on humoral immune responses. In fact, little is known about cellular immunity following a primary AI infection in poultry, especially regarding ...

LetΩ be aC2+γ domain in RN ,N ≥ 2, 0 < γ < 1. LetT>0 and let L be a uniformly parabolic operator Lu= ∂u/∂t−∑i, j(∂/∂xi)(ai j(∂u/∂xj)) +∑ j b j(∂u/∂xi) + a0u, a0 ≥ 0, whose coefficients, depending on (x, t) ∈Ω×R, are T periodic in t and satisfy some regularity assumptions. Let A be the N ×N matrix whose i, j entry is ai j and let ν be the unit exterior normal to ∂Ω. Let m be a T-periodic functio...

Let FN be a free group of finite rank N ≥ 2, and let T be an R-tree with a very small, minimal action of FN with dense orbits. For any basis A of FN there exists a heart KA ⊂ T (= the metric completion of T ) which is a compact subtree that has the property that the dynamical system of partial isometries ai : KA∩aiKA → a −1 i KA∩KA, for each ai ∈ A, defines a tree T(KA,A) which contains an isom...
