Our intention is to present Q. Majorana (1871–1957) further documents, experimental manuscripts and results on the hypothetical physical effect of gravitational absorption. Majorana carried out his experiments thanks to two main apparata, the first at the Polytechnic of Turin (1918-1919; 1919-1921), the second at the Institute of Physics of Bologna University (1922-1924). A comparison of the re...

In 1930 the writer (7Y presented the results of early experiments on the control of barley covered smut (Ustilago hordei (Pers.) Kell, and Sw.) with dust fungicides, together with a rather comprehensive review of the pertinent literature on the subject up to that time. The development since then of new fungicidal dusts, some of which were effective in controlling barley stripe (Helminthosporium...

A database merging technique is a strategy for combining the results of multiple, independent searches into a single cohesive response. An isolated database merging technique selects the number of documents to be retrieved from each database without using data from the component databases at run-time. In this paper we investigate the eeectiveness of two isolated database merging techniques in t...

1. The continuation of our experiments with intradermal Type I pneumococcus infection in rabbits has furnished further evidence of the marked analogies between this condition and that of human lobar pneumonia. 2. It has been found that the amount of antiserum necessary for successful therapy increases as the disease progresses, and that this progression has a definite mathematical character. Su...

This paper presents a method for data-driven constructive induction, which generates new problemoriented attributes by combining the original attributes according to a variety of heuristic rules. The combination of attributes are defined by different logical and/or mathematical operators, thus producing a potentially very large space of features. This space is reduced by applying an “attribute ...

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of complementary therapies in management symptom clusters children and adolescents with cancer undergoing palliative care. Method: Systematic review guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Reviews Meta-Analyses, resorting to databases MEDLINE, Web Science, Central Cochrane, PsycINFO. The identification, selection, inclusion, extraction, methodol...

In recent years, sequential optimality conditions are frequently used for convergence of iterative methods to solve nonlinear constrained optimization problems. The sequential optimality conditions do not require any of the constraint qualications. In this paper, We present the necessary sequential complementary approximate Karush Kuhn Tucker (CAKKT) condition for a point to be a solution of a ...
