This paper discusses the optical spectroscopic properties of the IRAS 1-Jy sample (f60 > 1 Jy) of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs: Lir > 10 12 L⊙; Ho = 75 km s −1 Mpc and qo = 0). One hundred and eight of the 118 1-Jy ULIGs have been observed at ∆λ = 8.3 Å resolution over the wavelength range ∼ 4500 Å – 8900 Å. These data are combined with large, previously published sets of optical spec...

We investigate the far-infrared properties of X-ray sources detected in the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) survey using the ultra-deep 70 μm and 24 μm Spitzer observations taken in this field. Since only 30 (i.e., ≈ 10%) of the 266 X-ray sources in the region of the 70 μm observations are detected at 70 μm, we rely on stacking analyses of the 70 μm data to characterise the average 70 μm prope...

We investigate the far-infrared (FIR) properties of X-ray sources detected in the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) survey using the ultradeep 70 and 24 μm Spitzer observations taken in this field. Since only 30 (i.e. ≈10 per cent) of the 266 X-ray sources in the region of the 70 μm observations are detected at 70 μm, we rely on stacking analyses of the 70 μm data to characterize the average 70 ...

Current hierarchical text categorization (HTC) methods mainly fall into three directions: (1) Flat one-vs.-all approach, which flattens the hierarchy into independent nodes and trains a binary one-vs.-all classifier for each node. (2) Top-down method, which uses the hierarchical structure to decompose the entire problem into a set of smaller subproblems, and deals with such sub-problems in top-...

The sensitivity of luminescent Boltzmann thermometers is restricted by the energy difference between thermally coupled excitement levels trivalent lanthanides, and their values further decrease with increases in temperature, rendering use at high temperatures difficult. Here, we demonstrate how to overcome this limitation employing multiparameter multilevel cascade temperature readings. For pur...

During knee arthroscopy, easy orientation is important, and possible landmarks include the lateral intercondylar ridge (LIR) bifurcate (LBR). The objective was to show feasibility of LIR LBR as femoral attachment anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) among subjects with different levels training. Thirty-six formalin-phenol-fixed lower extremities were acquired for this prospective macroscopic anatom...

This paper introduces the LIR-Schema, a framework to model knowledge flows within a company based on model-theory. Competence management is integrated in this framework as a tool for modelling the contexts of sender and receiver of expertise. The main target of this framework is to reduce the knowledge gap between experts and laymen within the company.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of ischemic post-conditioning on damage to the barrier function of the small intestine caused by limb ischemia-reperfusion injury. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (N = 36 each): sham operated (group S), lower limb ischemia-reperfusion (group LIR), and post-conditioning (group PC). Each group was divided int...

BACKGROUND The role of non-infective inflammatory response (IR) in the aetiology of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is still controversial. The aim of this controlled, prospective observational study was to assess the possible relationship between the grade of IR, defined by procalcitonin (PCT) changes, and development of POCD related to cardiac surgery. METHODS Forty-two patients,...
