Support Vector Machines (SVM) have been widely used in data-mining and Big Data applications as modern commercial databases start to attach an increasing importance to the analytic capabilities. In recent years, SVM was adapted to the field of High Performance Computing for power/performance prediction, auto-tuning, and runtime scheduling. However, even at the risk of losing prediction accuracy...

BACKGROUND Universities are increasingly implementing programs to effectively respond to and manage sport-related concussions (SRCs). One such effort is to develop common data elements (CDEs) and standardize data collection methods. The objectives of this study were to describe CDEs currently collected by Big Ten and Ivy League universities for SRC studies, and to compare the data collected wit...

Toxicodendron dermatitis results from a reaction to an oil soluble oleoresin that is present in many parts of the poison ivy and poison oak plants. Prophylactic measures include avoidance, protective clothing, barrier creams and hyposensitization. Treatments include washing the area immediately with a solvent suitable for lipids and the use of anti-inflammatory agents, especially corticosteroids.

In the table shown in the Briefing "Who leads the (Ivy) League in " 'citation impact'? " (9 Mar., p. 1183), the figures shown in the columns for "Citations" and "Citation impact" for Cornell University were incorrect. They should have been "523,878" and "16.53," respectively. The ranking was correct."

Lysozymes are key effectors of the animal innate immunity system that kill bacteria by hydrolyzing peptidoglycan, their major cell wall constituent. Recently, specific inhibitors of the three major lysozyme families occuring in the animal kingdom (c-, g- and i-type) have been discovered in Gram-negative bacteria, and it has been proposed that these may help bacteria to evade lysozyme mediated l...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the effects of low perfusion caused by emerging sepsis on the reliability of a new pulse oximetry technology (Masimo SET; IVY 405T) compared with a standard pulse oximeter (Nellcor N-200). DESIGN Randomized trial. SETTING University animal research facility. SUBJECTS Twenty-six anesthetized, ventilated (Fio, 1.0), adult rabbits. INTERVENTIONS Pneumonia/sepsis...

Abstract Colletes hederae, the ivy bee, (Hymenoptera: Colletidae) has undergone large range expansions in Europe recent years, including colonising Britain 2001 with its original distribution limited to Western mainland and Channel Islands. It is thought specialise on Hedera helix L. (Apiales: Ariliaceae), common ivy. However, some research questioned this dependence. This study quantifies fora...
