Standard SVM training has O(m3) time and O(m2) space complexities, where m is the training set size. It is thus computationally infeasible on very large data sets. By observing that practical SVM implementations only approximate the optimal solution by an iterative strategy, we scale up kernel methods by exploiting such “approximateness” in this paper. We first show that many kernel methods can...

Folding of the triangular lattice in a discrete three-dimensional space is investigated numerically. Such "discrete folding" has come about through theoretical investigation, since Bowick and co-workers introduced it as a simplified model for the crumpling of the phantom polymerized membranes. So far, it has been analyzed with the hexagon approximation of the cluster variation method (CVM). How...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dental and skeletal maturity. STUDY DESIGN Digital panoramic radiographs and lateral skull cephalograms of 302 patients (134 boys and 168 girls, ranging from 8 to 16 years of age) were examined. Dental maturity was assessed by calcification stages of the mandibular canines, first and second premolars, and second molars...

The pervasiveness of complex communication services and the need for end-users to play a greater role in modeling communication services have resulted in the development of the Communication Modeling Language (CML). CML is a domain-specific modeling language that can be used to declaratively specify user-centric communication services. CML models are automatically realized using the Communicati...

It is possible, with the increasing recognition and repetition of epidemiological data that provide compelling evidence for the appalling toll that cardiovascular (CV) pathology exerts on patients with advanced renal failure, to become both blasé and nihilistic. Dialysis patients aged 20–30 years have the same cardiovascular mortality (CVM) as non-diabetic non-uraemic subjects aged 70–80! Despi...

F ood and D r ug Admin i s t r a t ion DECEMBER 14 , 2007 Some of the Internet sites that sell pet drugs represent legitimate, reputable pharmacies, says Martine Hartogensis, D.V.M., Promotion and Advertising Liaison for FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM). But others are fronts for unscrupulous businesses operating against the law. ...

The main purpose of this study was to investigate how climate change affects blood vessel-related heart disease and hypertension and to estimate the associated economic damage. In this paper, both the panel data model and the contingent valuation method (CVM) approaches are applied. The empirical results indicate that the number of death from cardiovascular diseases would be increased by 0.226%...

We use the cluster variation method (CVM) to investigate the phase structure of the 3d gonihedric Ising actions deened by Savvidy and Wegner. The geometrical spin cluster boundaries in these systems serve as models for the string worldsheets of the gonihedric string embedded in Z 3. The models are interesting from the statistical mechanical point of view because they have a vanishing bare surfa...
