This paper presents results of a surveyconducted to determ ine university (N=4) students' (N=445) need for and satisfaction with disability-related support services. A four-part questionnaire comprised of 11 domains (divided into 40 service areas) was used. The domain-wise reliability of "need" varied between 0.71 and 0.95 and reliability for "satisfaction" ranged from 0.70 to 0.96. A lthough t...

The bleomycins (BLMs) are natural products that in the presence of iron and oxygen bind to and cause single-strand and double-strand cleavage of DNA. The mode(s) of binding of the FeBLMs that leads to sequence-specific cleavage at pyrimidines 3' to guanines and chemical-specific cleavage at the C-4' H of the deoxyribose of the pyrimidine has remained controversial. 2D NMR studies using the hydr...

In this paper we describe the technical implementation of our system that participated in the Helping Our Own 2012 Shared Task (HOO-2012). The system employs a number of preprocessing steps and machine learning classifiers for correction of determiner and preposition errors in non-native English texts. We use maximum entropy classifiers trained on the provided HOO-2012 development data and a la...

Heat capacities of platinum disulfide, platinum ditelluride, and palladium ditelluride were measured in the range 5° to 350 K. They show the normal sigmoidal temperature dependence with no evidence of transitions or other anomalies. The derived heat capacity equations were integrated. Values of Cp , So Soo, HO-Hoo, and -(FO-HoO)/T are tabulated for selected temperatures. At 298.15°K the entropi...

background: health status of offspring is programmed by maternal diet throughout gestation and lactation. the present study investigates the lasting effects of maternal supplementation with different amounts of soy oil or extra virgin olive oil (evoo) on weight and biochemical parameters during gestation and lactation of female mice offspring. methods: eight weeks old female c57bl/6 mice (n=40)...

The paper presents a controller synthesis for the active control of a towed underwater vehicle. Robustness issues such as uncertainties in the computation of hydrodynamic coefficients, unknown disturbances, and approximations due to linearization of the nonlinear dynamics are treated in a Hoo framework. The cable dynamics are retained in the linear model and model reduction is performed using b...
