The study was aimed at evaluating the frequency of spontaneous sister chromatid exchange in Polish White Improved goats (Capra hircus). The mean number of SCEs/cell was 2.73 +/- 1.84. The effect of sex and age on SCE incidence was also investigated. No statistically significant differences in the number of SCEs/cell were observed between the males and females. On the other hand, age was found t...

This paper introduces the Spectral Clustering Equivalence (SCE) algorithm which is intended to be an alternative to spectral clustering (SC) with the objective to improve both speed and quality of segmentation. Instead of solving for the spectral decomposition of a similarity matrix as in SC, SCE converts the similarity matrix to a columncentered dissimilarity matrix and searches for a pair of ...

Many claims about political behavior are based on implicit assumptions about how people think. One such assumption, that political actors use identical conjectures when assessing others’ strategies, is nested within applications of widely-used game theoretic equilibrium concepts. When empirical research calls this assumption into question, the self-confirming equilibrium (SCE) concept is an alt...

Telomeres are a hotspot for sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE). Any biological consequence of this form of instability remained obscure until quantitative modeling revealed a link between elevated T-SCE rates and accelerated cellular replicative senescence. This work strongly suggests that progressive telomere erosion is not the only determinant of replicative capacity; instead, T-SCE need to be...

Artificial intelligence (A_r) has been looking for a "killer applieation" since its ineeption. Now, with the world wide web, intranets, intelligent agents, and the emerging knowledge management trends, AI may have found its much needed killer application. Through the use of web-based intelligent agent technology, knowledge management systems ean be developed in very effeetive ways. This paper w...

We study the e ects of communication in Bayesian games when the players are sequentially rational but some combinations of types have zero probability. Not all communication equilibria can be implemented as sequential equilibria. We de ne the set of strong sequential communication equilibria (SSCE) and characterize it. SSCE di ers from the concept of sequential communication equilibrium (SCE) d...

The genotoxicity study of ornidazole (ONZ) was carried out on human lymphocyte chromosomes, using sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronucleus (MN). Thirty-two patients with Entemoeba histolitica infection who received 1000 mg/day for 10 days were included in this study. SCE and MN were measured before and after therapy. A statistically significant increase was observed in the SCE (P < 0.00...

The effects of oral administration of sugar cane extracts (SCE) on Eimeria tenella oocysts infection in chickens were studied with 2 different experiments. In Experiment 1, 3-week-old inbred chickens (MHC; H.B15) were inoculated into the crop with SCE (500 mg/kg/day) for 1 day or 3 consecutive days, and then challenged with E. tenella sporulated oocysts (2 x 10(4) cells/chicken). In Experiment ...
