Wooden blocks are a common toy for infants, allowing them to develop motor skills and gain intuition about the physical behavior of the world. In this paper, we explore the ability of deep feedforward models to learn such intuitive physics. Using a 3D game engine, we create small towers of wooden blocks whose stability is randomized and render them collapsing (or remaining upright). This data a...

outpatient department because of anal bleeding. She had been diagnosedwith ulcerative proctitis about 1 year previously and had experienced intermittent anal bleeding during treatment at a local clinic. She had no significant medication history and in particular had not used laxatives or oral iron. The initial colonoscopy revealed numerous variable-sized areas of black pigmentation in the mucos...

this study has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the local made charcoal tubes against adsorption of benzene, toluene and xylene vapors. results indicate that desorption capacity and the recovery percentage decrease as the benzene, toluene and xylene concentrations and also relative humidity increase. it is concluded that the water vapor is the major interfere in the adsorption of...

Tannin-based rigid foams were shown to be good thermal insulating materials for use in the cavity of hollow-core wooden doors and other wooden cavities. Their thermal insulation capacity is comparable to that of totally synthetic, oil-derived foams, such as polyurethanes, but with the advantage that they do not burn and thus do not emit toxic gases on burning. Exposure to the weather of wooden ...

Elastic waves in materials with cylindrical orthotropy are considered, this being a plausible model for a wooden pole. For time-harmonic motions, the problem is reduced to some coupled ordinary di erential equations. Previously, these have been solved using the method of Frobenius (power-series expansions). Here, Neumann series (expansions in Bessel functions of various orders) are used, motiva...

objective: n present study effect of various factors including sucrose, agar, peg, agno3, activated charcoal on somatic embryo induction and its subsequent regeneration was investigated using varieties dom siah and nemat. methods: 330 explant (mature embryos) of each varieties were cultured, 33/plate (100 x 15 mm), on callus induction murashige and skoog (ms) medium (murashige and skoog 1962) s...

BACKGROUND Activated charcoal (AC) is commonly used for the routine management of oral drug overdose. AIM To determine whether the routine use of activated charcoal has an effect on patient outcomes. DESIGN Randomized controlled unblinded trial. METHODS We recruited all adult patients presenting with an oral overdose at The Canberra Hospital, excluding only transfers, late presenters, tho...
