We examine the eecient implementation of back prop type algorithms on T0 4], a vector processor with a xed point engine, designed for neural network simulation. A matrix formulation of back prop, Matrix Back Prop 1], has been shown to be very eecient on some RISCs 2]. Using Matrix Back Prop, we achieve an asymptotically optimal performance on T0 (about 0.8 GOPS) for both forward and backward ph...

Fluorescence microscopy has revealed that the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) and FlAsH-labeled transporters ProP and LacY are concentrated at the poles of Escherichia coli cells. The proportion of CL among E. coli phospholipids can be varied in vivo as it is decreased by cls mutations and it increases with the osmolality of the growth medium. In this report we compare the localization of CL, Pro...

conclusions it can be concluded that subjects receiving ea intraoperatively experienced less pain and ponv. hence, it is plausible that ea has an opioid-sparing effect and can reduce ponv. results the mean nrs was 2.75 (sd = 2.34) at 30 minutes and 2.25 (sd = 1.80) at 2 hours postoperatively in the ea group that was significantly lower than the mean nrs in the control group as 4.50 (sd = 2.37) ...

A general problem in model selection is to obtain the right parameters that make a model "t observed data. For a multilayer perceptron (MLP) trained with back-propagation (BP), this means "nding appropiate layer size and initial weights. This paper proposes a method (G-Prop, genetic backpropagation) that attempts to solve that problem by combining a genetic algorithm (GA) and BP to train MLPs w...

The perceived taste intensities of quinine HCl, caffeine, sucrose octaacetate (SOA) and propylthiouracil (PROP) solutions were examined in 1457 twins and their siblings. Previous heritability modeling of these bitter stimuli indicated a common genetic factor for quinine, caffeine and SOA (22-28%), as well as separate specific genetic factors for PROP (72%) and quinine (15%). To identify the gen...

The perceived bitterness intensity for bitter solutions of propylthiouracil (PROP), sucrose octa-acetate (SOA), quinine HCl and caffeine were examined in a genetically informative sample of 392 females and 313 males (mean age of 17.8 +/- 3.1 years), including 62 monozygotic and 131 dizygotic twin pairs and 237 sib pairs. Broad-sense heritabilities were estimated at 0.72, 0.28, 0.34, and 0.30 fo...

The aim was to investigate determinants of ankle dorsiflexor muscle (DF) strength and size in moderately active young men and women (n = 30; age 20-31 yr). Concentric (Con) and eccentric (Ecc) strength were measured isokinetically. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to determine the muscle cross-sectional area (CSA). Multiple biopsies were obtained from the tibialis anterior muscle to determin...

The combined influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and East (EA) patterns on covariability temperatures precipitation in 35 stations Iberian Peninsula during period 1950–2019 is analysed this work. Four EA-NAO composites were defined from teleconnection patterns’ positive negative phases: EA+NAO+, EA+NAO-, EA-NAO+ EA-NAO-. Daily data maximum minimum temperature used to obtain season...

Regioselectively, ethyl propiolate reacted with 1-(propergyl)-pyridinium-3-olate to give two regioisomers; ethyl 4-oxo-8-(prop-2-ynyl)-8-aza-bicyclo(3.2.1)octa-2,6-diene-6-carboxylate 4, ethyl 2-oxo-8-(prop-2-ynyl)-8-aza-bicyclo(3.2.1)octa-3,6-diene-6-carboxylate 5 as well as ethyl 2,6-dihydro-6-(prop-2-ynyl)furo(2,3-c)pyridine-3-carboxylate 6. The obtained compounds were identified by their sp...

Prior studies suggest that 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) taste responsiveness is linked with reduced preferences for sweet and high-fat foods, lower adiposity, and favorable plasma lipid profiles. We hypothesize that women with more severe and persistent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) have a greater sensitivity to PROP. To measure this, women with CIN II or III submitted a DNA blood sam...
