We consider the problem of solving Natural Language Understanding (NLU) tasks characterized by domain-specific data. An effective approach consists pre-training Transformer-based language models from scratch using data before fine-tuning them on task at hand. A low volume is problematic in this context, given that performance relies heavily abundance during pre-training. To study problem, we cr...

A modified gravity (MOG) theory, that has been successfully fitted to galaxy rotational velocity data, cluster data, the Bullet Cluster 1E0657-56 and cosmological observations, is fitted to the motion of satellite galaxies around host galaxies at distances 50-400 kpc providing a new sensitive test for MOG. We show that observational data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are consistent with MOG...

Despite the popularity of the conveyor-belt model for portraying the airflow through midlatitude cyclones, questions arise as to the path of the cold conveyor belt, the lower-tropospheric airflow poleward of and underneath the warm front. Some studies, beginning with Carlson’s analysis of the eastern U.S. cyclone of 5 December 1977, depict the cold conveyor belt moving westward, reaching the no...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate adult attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in smokers, Maras powder users and non-users of tobacco products by using the Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-report Scale (ASRS). METHODS The study was performed on 446 males presenting to family health centers in Kahramanmara, Turkey. Of 446 participants, 104 we...

BACKGROUND International guidelines recommend depression and anxiety screening in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), but Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) remains understudied. METHODS Adults with CF (n=53) were screened using the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale-v1.1 Symptom Checklist (ASRS-v1.1), Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R), and a self-report measure of treat...

Acute diarrheal disease (ADD) can be caused by a range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Conventional diagnostic methods, such as culture, microscopy, biochemical assays, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), are laborious and time-consuming and lack sensitivity. Combined, the array of tests performed on a single specimen can increase the turnaround time (TAT) ...

Overhead conveyor systems satisfy by their simple construction, wide application range and their full compatibility with other manufacturing systems, which are designed according to international standards. Ultra-light overhead conveyor systems are rope-based conveying systems with individually driven vehicles. The vehicles can move automatically on the rope and this can be realized by energy a...

Rubber belt not only is one of the key components of belt conveyor, but also affects the overall performance of the core part. Research on dynamics analysis of large conveyor not only helps to improve the reliability and design level, but also can guide the rational selection of conveyor safety factor, and effectively reduce the cost of the conveyor belt. Based on unique viscoelastic properties...

In this paper a voltage controlled current conveyor is presented wherein the intrinsic transresistance is controlled by a voltage variable current source which is realized using floatinggate MOSFETs. The resultant conveyor has been used to implement an impedance converter which is further used as inductance simulator. The characteristics of the conveyor and inductance simulation have been obtai...
