We evaluate CRUSTACEAN, an inductive logic programming algorithm that uses inverse implication to induce recursive clauses from examples. This approach is well suited for learning a class of self-recursive clauses, which commonly appear in logic programs , because it searches for common sub-structures among the examples. However, little evidence exists that inverse implication approaches perfor...

This paper reports the results of a study of college students in the US that examined specific learner characteristics affecting satisfaction with e-learning courses. It finds that satisfaction is largely governed by the degree to which one is confident in one’s ability to regulate the factors that influence course work and one’s goals in taking them. These goals can be both in terms of grades ...

We analyze a minimal model of a growing network. At each time step, a new vertex is added; then, with probability delta, two vertices are chosen uniformly at random and joined by an undirected edge. This process is repeated for t time steps. In the limit of large t, the resulting graph displays surprisingly rich characteristics. In particular, a giant component emerges in an infinite-order phas...

Introduction: Complementary and alternative medicine is a group of diagnostic and therapeutic methods that are commonly used outside university education and are used by patients themselves. Some cancer patients use different types of CAM to reduce the complications of conventional therapies and improve their general condition, which is increasing. Determining the rate of complementary and alte...

OBJECTIVE We investigated changes in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) profiling in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who started treatment by taking tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. The patients were stratified for European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response. METHODS A group of 100 patients naive for TNF inhibitors at baseline were randomly selected from 204 adalimumab-treated a...
