briefly with such subjects as relative strengths of acids and bases, molecular weights, the analogy betw een gaseous and dissolv.ed states, indicators and hydrogen ion concentration. Armed with the information obtained in the first part of the book, the reader is in a position to understand the theory underlying tlhe suggestions fol-practical work set out in the later chapters. The reactions of...

The XVIII Symposium of the International Association for Com parative Research on Leukemia & Related Diseases (IACRLRD), an international meeting hosted by Dr. Yoji Ikawa of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, was held in Kyoto, Japan, October 29 through November 3, 1995. The meeting spanned 6 days and included 4 plenary sessions, 17 symposia, and 8 sessions of short presentations. In addi...

Fractal image coding is a novel technique for still ima ge c ompression. I n t his paper, a low b it rate r egion-based fractal image compression algorithm i s pr oposed, sev eral techniques ar e i ncluded as follows. First, we improve the performance of quadtree segmentation by adaptive threshold. T hen, a me rging s cheme is e mployed t o t he r esulting quadtree segm entation t hat co mbines...

When pyrophosphate has been found to influence an enzymatic reaction, its action is usually indirect, that is as a chelator of free essential metal ions rather than directly on the protein catalyst. However, it appears that the latter situation holds for the action of pyrophosphate in the modification of reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide’ to the product obtained by the action of 3-phosphogly...

The performance of individual agents in a group depends critically on the quality of information available to it about local and global goals and resources In general it is assumed that the more accurate and up to date the available infor mation the better is the expected performance of the individual and the group This conclu sion can be challenged in a number of scenar ios We investigate the ...

Il est maintenant acquis que de tr es fortes relations existent entre l'apprentissage supervis e et non-supervis e [4, 14]. L'approche d ecrite dans ce papier est bas ee sur l'id ee que le supervis e et le non-supervis e peuvent être vus comme les instances particuli eres d'un probl eme plus g en eral de couverture minimale. Le syst eme GloBo a pour objectif de caract eriser les sous-concepts v...

( ) CO oxidation on Pt 100 was in®estigated at reactant pressures of 8 Pa using ellipsomicroscopy for surface imaging to monitor spatiotemporal pattern formation on the catalyst surface and mass spectroscopy to monitor the integral reaction rate. Three distinct temperature regions showing nonlinear phenomena were found. The first region, at 540 ] 615 K, is characterized by macroscopic, regular ...

The performance of oil-flooded screw comp ressors depends on a large number of design paramet ers such as rotor profile, number of rotor lobes, rotor L/D ratio, wrap angle, geometrical clearance s, quantity and location of oil injection, discharge port size and tip speed. Knowledge of the effect of these parameters can help a designer to select the best performing machine for a given applicatio...

A technique for representing and learning smooth nonlinear manifolds is presented and applied to sev­ eral lip reading tasks. Given a set of points drawn from a smooth manifold in an abstract feature space, the technique is capable of determining the structure of the surface and of finding the closest manifold point to a given query point. We use this technique to learn the "space of lips" in a...
