After being trained, classifiers must often operate on data that has been corrupted by noise. In this paper, we consider the impact of such noise on the features of binary classifiers. Inspired by tools for classifier robustness, we introduce the same classification probability (SCP) to measure the resulting distortion on the classifier outputs. We introduce a low-complexity estimate of the SCP...

C23 is an abundant and multi-functional protein, which plays an important role in various biological processes, including ribosome biogenesis and maturation, cell cycle checkpoints and transcriptional regulation [1, 2]. However, the role of C23 in controlling tumorigenesis has not been well defined. Here we report that C23 is highly expressed in cancer cells and the elevated expression of C23 f...

the potential of marine actinobacteria particularly streptomyces as a single cell protein (scp) feed for the growth of ornamental fish, xiphophorus helleri has been investigated. the streptomyces strains used as scp were isolated from the marine sponges, namely callyspongia diffusa , mycale mytilorum , tedania anhelans and dysidea fragilis . six scp feeds were prepared and their effects were co...

This paper analyzes price elasticities in the Austrian market for mobile telecommunications services using data on firm specific tariffs. Both static and a dynamic panel data approaches lead to consistent results which provide evidence for a relatively elastic demand. Furthermore, some basic facts on the Austrian mobile telephone sector are presented. JEL-Classification: C23, L13, L96.

We perform error probability analysis of the uncoded OFDM fixed gain Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relaying system with subcarrier permutation (SCP). Two SCP schemes, named: the best-to-best SCP (BTB SCP) and the best-to-worst SCP (BTW SCP) are considered. Closedform expressions for the bit error rate (BER) of the above SCP methods are derived. Numerical results manifest that these SCP schemes may o...

Although neither the physiological function nor the mechanism of action of sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP(2)) is yet completely clear, it is thought that SCP(2) interacts with membranes to elicit its biological effects. The results presented here show that the SCP(2) N-terminus, composed of two amphipathic alpha-helices, interacted preferentially with highly curved but not lower-curvature membra...

Stimuli-responsive materials in general and pH-responsive polymers particular have gained increasing interest during the last two decades. Their unique properties, which arise from their ability to exhibit sharp reversible changes response environmental pH conditions, made them suitable for various applications such as drug delivery specific body-site targeting, sensing actuation, membrane func...

OBJECTIVE To offer a comprehensive account of surgical outcomes on a defined series of patients treated with radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) for prostate cancer in a single European Center after 5-year minimum follow-up according to the Survival, Continence and Potency (SCP) system. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated our Institutional database of patients who underwent RRP from November...
