The aim of Feature Subset Selection – FSS – algorithms is to select a subset of features from the original set of features that describes a data set according to some importance criterion. To accomplish this task, FSS removes irrelevant and/or redundant features, as they may decrease data quality and reduce several of the desired properties of classifiers induced by supervised learning algorith...

In this study, we demonstrate that fluid shear stress (FSS)-induced actin cytoskeletal reorganization and junctional formation in renal epithelial cells are nearly completely opposite the corresponding changes in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) [Thi MM et al. (2004) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101:16483-16488]. Mouse proximal tubule cells (PTCs) were subjected to 5 h of FSS (1 dyn/cm(2)) to investi...

Hughes has defined a class of groups, which we call FSS (finite similarity structure) groups. Each FSS group acts on a compact ultrametric space by local similarities. The best-known example is Thompson’s group V . Guided by previous work on Thompson’s group V , we establish a number of new results about FSS groups. Our main result is that a class of FSS groups are of type F∞. This generalizes ...

Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) have been studied for many years and widely used in different fields ranging from microwave engineering to optical system. Recently, Active Freuqency Selective Surfaces (AFSS) having tunable or reconfigurable frequency response received more and more attention. In this study, a new means of active FSS is reported. By printing the unit elements of FSS on an org...

Deterministic sources of polarization entangled photon pairs on demand are considered as important building block for quantum communication technology. It has been demonstrated that semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), exhibiting a sufficiently small excitonic fine structure splitting (FSS) can be used as triggered, on-chip sources of polarization entangled photon pairs. As-grown QDs usually do no...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to clarify the changes in biological measures during autogenic training (AT) sessions and the relationship between these biological measures and the changes in physical and psychological measures induced by continuation of AT in patients with functional somatic syndrome (FSS). We used the salivary amylase (SAMY) level, skin temperature of the finger (TEMP), ...

Our previous studies of microperfused single proximal tubule showed that flow-dependent Na(+) and HCO(3)(-) reabsorption is due to a modulation of both NHE3 and vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) activity. An intact actin cytoskeleton was indicated to provide a structural framework for proximal tubule cells to transmit mechanical forces and subsequently modulate cellular functions. In this study, ...

Function secret sharing (FSS) scheme is a mechanism that calculates a function f(x) for x ∈ {0, 1} which is shared among p parties, by using distributed functions fi : {0, 1} → G (1 ≤ i ≤ p), where G is an Abelian group, while the function f : {0, 1} → G is kept secret to the parties. Ohsawa et al. in 2017 observed that any function f can be described as a linear combination of the basis functi...
