abstract in this study the comparative advantage of wheat in sistan was investigated by using drc index and policy analysis matrix (pam) during 2006-2007. data were collected from zabol agri-jahad organization and annual foreign trade database. the npc index showed that there was an indirect tax on producers in all sectors. epc index represented that there were nonsupport of input and output ma...

Glioblastoma brain tumor cells and normal cells were treated with plasma-activated medium (PAM). Cell proliferation assays showed that glioblastoma cells were selectively killed by PAM. PAM induced apoptosis on glioblastoma. There are many signaling pathways that lead to apoptosis. We found that PAM downregulated the PI3K/PTEN-AKT pathway that is responsible for cell survival and proliferation ...

We propose a family of Passive-Aggressive Mahalanobis (PAM) algorithms, which are incremental (online) binary classifiers that consider the distribution of data. PAM is in fact a generalization of the Passive-Aggressive (PA) algorithms to handle data distributions that can be represented by a covariance matrix. The update equations for PAM are derived and theoretical error loss bounds computed....

Building on its high spatial resolution, deep penetration depth and excellent image contrast, 3D photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has grown tremendously since its first publication in 2005. Integrating optical excitation and acoustic detection, PAM has broken through both the optical diffusion and optical diffraction limits. PAM has 100% relative sensitivity to optical absorption (i.e., a given p...

The relationship between DNA cross-linking and cell killing by c;'s-diamminedichloroplatinum(ll) (c/s-DDP) and L-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM) was studied in L1210 cell culture lines and in mice bearing sensitive and resistant lines of L1210 leukemia. A line of L1210 mouse leukemia cells was developed which is resistant to c/s-DDP in vitro. These cells, designated ZCR9, are cross-resistant to L...

We propose a formal procedure-based agent model for plan recognition as an alternative to the declarative proposition-based agent model. Our formalism, called the Procedural Agent Model (PAM) allows us to describe procedural plans of agents in a concise and abstract way. Plan recognition uses PAM as a library of plan schemas and applies a graph-based pattern-matching algorithm to the observed e...
