A multi-biochemical test system consisting of nine tests, entitled Enterotube, was evaluated in parallel with conventional tests to determine its value in the identification of enteric and certain other gram-negative bacilli. The 242 bacterial strains studied were from a variety of pathological specimens and from our culture collection. When the results with individual tests represented in both...

Neuroinflammation contributes to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progression. TLR4, a transmembrane protein that plays a central role in activation of the innate immune system, has been shown to induce microglial activation in ALS models. TLR4 is up-regulated in the spinal cords of hSOD1G93A mice. We aimed to examine the effects of specific TLR4 inhibition on disease progression and surviva...

This project uses a series of learning approaches for a transaction anomaly detection problem. The input data is a 19-feature dataset of transaction records with high binary class skewness (1% vs 99%). We apply Logistic Regression, AdaBoost and Boosting Trees and we use Lift and prediction accuracy metrics to evaluate our results. All approaches were based on the material covered in the course ...

The aim of the present in vivo study was to determine whether a benzodioxan derivative MKC-242, (S)-5-[3-[(1,4-benzodioxan-2-ylmethyl)amino]propoxy]-1,3-benzodioxole hydrochloride, possesses an agonistic activity at postsynaptic serotonin (5-HT)1A receptors in the rat hippocampus when administered systemically. We examined the effects of acute administrations of MKC-242 on the firing activities...
