This paper examines how many of the states have changed their respective scientific-evidence admissibility standards under the influence of the United States Supreme Court's 1993 Daubert decision. The authors offer a definition of what constitutes a Daubert state, and using this definition classify the fifty states into three categories. These are: Frye states (15 states, 10 with codified evide...

D-penicillamine is one of the disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Drug-induced pemphigus is not fre-quently associated with D-penicillamine, and to date, the number of reported cases is about a hundred. Most reports of D-penicillamine-induced pemphigus vulgaris are in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It has rarely been reported in patients not taking D-penicillamine. We report a...

INTRODUCTION For percutaneous abdomen intervention (e.g. liver radiofrequency (RF) tumor ablation, liver biopsy), surgeons lack real-time visual feedback about the location of the needle on planning images, typically computed tomography (CT). One difficulty lies in tracking and synchronizing both the tool movement and the patient breathing motion. AIM To verify the correspondence between rigi...

In the first experiment, conducted in a research facility, Litopenaeus vannamei broodstock were fed either a 100% fresh food control treatment (FRE, consisting of frozen squid, oyster, mussel and enriched Artemia biomass in a 2.3:1.4:1.3:1 dry matter ratio) or one of the two treatments in which 50% [dry matter (DM)] of the fresh food was substituted with experimental artificial diets: a dry die...

In this paper, line search based on Sequential Quadratic Programming is implemented in order to find a solution to Fuzzy Relation Equations. Sequential Quadratic Programming is a gradient-based method that uses a quadratic estimation of the objective function in each iteration’s neighborhood. Unlike analytical approaches, the method can handle equations with any combinations of t-norms and t-co...

Maneuver decision-making is the core of autonomous air combat, and reinforcement learning a potential ideal approach for addressing problems. However, when used maneuver it often suffers from awful training efficiency poor performance decision-making. In this paper, an combat method based on final reward estimation proximal policy optimization proposed to solve above First, environment aircraft...

This article is dedicated to the perceptual identification of French varieties by listeners from the surroundings of Paris and Marseilles. It is based on the geographical localization of about forty speakers from 6 Francophone regions: Normandy, Vendee, Romand Switzerland, Languedoc and the Basque Country. Contrary to the speech type (read or spontaneous speech) and the listeners’ region of ori...
