Transfer Learning (TL) is the branch of Machine Learning concerned with improving performance on a target task by leveraging knowledge from a related (and usually already learned) source task. TL is potentially applicable to any learning task, but in this survey we consider TL in a Reinforcement Learning (RL) context. TL is inspired by psychology; humans constantly apply previous knowledge to n...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of training programs on serum lipid profile and myocardial oxidative stress. Male Wistar rats (2 mo-old) were divided into three groups (n = 8): sedentary (S), loadless trained (T) and trained-overload 2% body weight (TL). T and TL were trained through swimming for 9 weeks. T and TL rats had increased myocardial lipoperoxide (TBA) and lipid h...

Thallium-201/Nasal administration/Biological safety/Preclinical study. Nasal administration of thallium-201 (Tl) has previously been shown to be useful for the assessment of olfactory nerve connectivity in vivo. We assessed the biological effects of nasal Tl administration in mice to determine its safety before conducting clinical trials on humans. Tl uptake was evaluated in normal mice (n = 5)...

This report describes the sex differentiation of the Korean rose bitterling, Rhodeus uyekii, from hatching to 170 days post-hatch (DPH) in relation to total length (TL), body weight (BW), and integral water temperature (IWT). The growth curve of TL from just hatching to 83 DPH was 5.144e0.045t (R² = 0.961; t, time), and that of BW was 2.398e0.086t (R² = 0.725). Primordial germ cells (PGCs) were...

The interesting article by CHINN et al. [1] explored the relationship of transfer factor (TL) or diffusing capacity to alveolar volume (VA) within normal subjects at different depths of inspiration and between normal subjects having lungs of different sizes, and found that the ratio TL/VA (often called the carbon monoxide transfer coefficient (KCO)) varied with VA itself (i.e. lung size) as wel...

BACKGROUND leukocyte telomere length (TL) is considered a marker of biological aging. Several studies have investigated the link between leukocyte TL and aging-associated functional attributes of the brain, but no prior study has investigated whether TL can be linked to brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs); two prominent structural manifestations of brain aging. METHODS we i...

INTRODUCTION    Shorter leukocyte telomere length (TL) is associated with several chronic diseases, but only a few studies have assessed the associations of dietary components and dietary patterns with TL in adults in the United States (US). OBJECTIVES    This study was aimed to determine the relation of dietary components and dietary patterns with TL among adults in the US. PATIENTS AND METHOD...

The trophic level (TL) mean and variance, and the degree of omnivory for five Celtic Sea fish predators were estimated using a database of stomach content records characterized by a high level of taxonomic resolution. The predators occupied a high position in the food web, i.e. 4·75 for Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, 4·44 for haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus, 4·88 for European hake Merluccius merlu...

In regular inference, a regular language is inferred from answers to a finite set of membership queries, each of which asks whether the language contains a certain word. One of the most well-known regular inference algorithms is the L∗ algorithm due to Dana Angluin. However, there are almost no extensions of these algorithms to the setting of timed systems. We extend Angluin’s algorithm for on-...

beryllium  oxide  (beo)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (tl) properties of  the bulk material  in x and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in tl dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 c...
