Training machine learning models sometimes needs to be done on large amounts of data that exceed the capacity of a single machine, motivating recent works on developing algorithms that train in a distributed fashion. This paper proposes an efficient box-constrained quadratic optimization algorithm for distributedly training linear support vector machines (SVMs) with large data. Our key technica...

The cytochrome contents in ascites hepatomas and some other fast-growing tumor cells of rats and mice were deter mined spectrophotometrically at room and low temperature and comparedwith those in normal liver cells.On a protein basis, the contents of cytochromes a(+ a3), b, and c1 in the various hepatomas are rather constant, and the levels are about one-half or one-third of those in normal liv...

The novel chloroethylating agent 2-chloroethyl (methylsulfonyljmethanesulfonate (CIEtSoSo) has been shown to act like the Chloroethylnitrosoureas (CIEtNu's) in its DNA damaging and cytotoxic effects in human cell lines and has similar activity to the CIEtNu's in the National Cancer Institute antitumor screening tests. Its simpler chemistry, however, suggests that it may alkylate DNA more select...

The morphological and compositional characterization of the filler particles in selected dental composites has been accomplished by a combination of backscattered elec tron imaging, digital imaging , energy dispersive X-ray analysis and thermogravimetry. Backscattered electron images provide excellent composition contrast between the filler and the matrix in this analysis . Qualitative energy d...

A special multilayer percep tron architecture known as FuNe I is suc cessfully used for generating fuzzy systems for a number of real world applications The FuNe I trained with supervised learn ing can be used to extract fuzzy rules from a given representative input output data set Furthermore optimization of the knowledge base is possible including the tuning of membership functions The new me...

Data from the HERA collider experiments, H1 and ZEUS, have been fundamental to the rapid recent development of our understanding of the partonic composition of the proton and of QCD. This report focuses on inclusive measurements of neutral and charged current cross sections at HERA, using the full available data taken to date. The present precision on the proton parton densities and the further...

Stud ies of histopathologic changes in denta l lesions of leprosy patients were reported by Kitami (6), Tochihara and Murakami Cl), Hirashita (~,:I) , T ajiri and Kamio (X), I takura ( .1), Kamio (f.), and Asano (1). Most of the papers of these authors were published during the period before sulfones were used in Japan, On ly the paper of Asano belongs to the later period, when sulfones were em...

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION: pEl was subcloned from the cosmid pcosEMBLaAT(ref .1) and contains a 9.6kb-fragment of the cosmid extending from the EcoRI-site in in-tron A to an EcoRI-site 2.5kb 3' of the «-antitrypsin gene.Vector is pBR322. POLYMORPHISM: PstI identifies a 2-allele system with alternative bands at 5.0kb (PI) and at 3.2kb (P2) for a site within the a.-antitrypsin-like gene. Several constan...

Charged excitons in doped extended Hubbard model systems. Abstract We show that the charge transfer excitons in a Hubbard model system including nearest neighbor Coulomb interactions effectively attain some charge in doped systems and become visible in photoelectron and inverse photoelec-tron spectroscopies. This shows that the description of a doped system by an extended Hubbard model differs ...
