Forte is a formal verification system developed by Intel’s Strategic CAD Labs for applications in hardware design and verification. Forte integrates model checking and theorem proving within a functional programming language, which both serves as an extensible specification language and allows the system to be scripted and customized. The latest version of this language, called reFLect, has quo...

Knowledge acquisition is a diicult, error-prone, and time-consuming task. The task of automatically improving an existing knowledge base using learning methods is addressed by the class of systems performing theory reenement. This paper presents a system, Forte (First-Order Revision of Theories from Examples), which reenes rst-order Horn-clause theories by integrating a variety of diierent revi...

OBJECTIVE We sought to develop a novel biochemical assay and algorithm for the prenatal evaluation of risk for fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and trisomy 18 (T18) using cell-free DNA obtained from maternal blood. STUDY DESIGN We assayed cell-free DNA from a training set and a blinded validation set of pregnant women, comprising 250 disomy, 72 T21, and 16 T18 pregnancies. We used digital analysis of s...

The effect of colouron different aspects performance has been the subject substantial research interest, and red had shown to have varying effects on not only performance, but perceptions as well. This study examined apparel colour self-predicted actual motor performance. Thirty-six young adults (18 females, 18 males; 20.4 SD 1.32 years old), who no experience in football, performed a task cons...

Cotazym-S-Forte, a new pancreatic supplement containing 10,000 BP units of lipase activity per capsule, was compared with a standard dose pancreatin supplement (Pancrease) with 5000 BP units lipase activity in a randomised crossover trial. The number of capsules of Cotazym-S-Forte administered was half the usual number of Pancrease capsules and was associated with the same degree of fat absorpt...
