We define an optimal Bayesian knowledge-seeking agent, KLKSA, designed for countable hypothesis classes of stochastic environments and whose goal is to gather as much information about the unknown world as possible. Although this agent works for arbitrary countable classes and priors, we focus on the especially interesting case where all stochastic computable environments are considered and the...

Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) experience psychological stress due to the diagnosis and the physical and social changes brought on by the illness, increasing the risk of depressive disorder. Depression causes tremendous disability and adds to the suffering that patients must already endure. It is known to alter immune and endocrine functions that affect vulnerability to CRC, its course o...

A new calculation method is proposed to quantify the endogenous glucose production (EGP), the glucose appearance rate due to meal ingestion (R(a meal)), and the glucose disposal (R(d)) during a three-tracer study design. The method utilizes the maximum likelihood theory combined with a regularization method to achieve a theoretically coherent computational framework. The method uses the two-com...

The present study explores the structural pavement design techniques related to distresses in terms of rutting, cracking and International Roughness Index (IRI) based on materials properties, roadbed characteristics, climate traffic loads for highway network Saudi Arabia (KSA). was focused selected site conditions at four regions KSA: Central (Riyadh); Eastern (Al-Ahsa); Western (Jeddah) Northe...

The carry look-ahead adder (CLA) is well known among the family of high-speed adders. However, a conventional CLA not faster than other adders such as conditional sum (CSA), carry-select (CSLA), and Kogge–Stone (KSA), which fastest parallel-prefix adder. Further, in terms power-delay product (PDP) that characterizes energy digital circuits, efficient compared to CSLA KSA. In this context, paper...
