It is well established that the medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the hippocampus, is essential for long-term memory. In addition, recent studies suggest that the MTL may also support visual working memory (VWM), but the conditions under which the MTL plays a critical role are not yet clear. To address this issue, we used a color change detection paradigm to examine the effects of MTL damag...

Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, cysteine-rich polypeptides, but the role of MTs in inducing the formation of adaptive response is still largely unknown. We investigated the roles of metallothionein genes (mtl-1 and mtl-2) in the formation of cross-adaptation response to neurobehavioral toxicity from metal exposure in Caenorhabditis elegans. Pre-treatment with mild heat-shock at L2-larva stage...

Computational Biology provides a wide range of applications for Multitask Learning (MTL) methods. As the generation of labels often is very costly in the biomedical domain, combining data from different related problems or tasks is a promising strategy to reduce label cost. In this paper, we present two problems from sequence biology, where MTL was successfully applied. For this, we use regular...

Introduction Memory permits an organism to bridge the past with the present, providing information about prior encounters with a stimulus or context that can serve to build predictive models for the present. At the neurobiologic level, it is well established that the hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe (MTL) cortices play an essential role in declarative memory (ie, long-term memor...

The method of loci is one, if not the most, efficient mnemonic encoding strategy. This spatial mnemonic combines the core cognitive processes commonly linked to medial temporal lobe (MTL) activity: spatial and associative memory processes. During such processes, fMRI studies consistently demonstrate MTL activity, while electrophysiological studies have emphasized the important role of theta osc...

Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a prominent specification formalism for realtime systems. In this paper, we show that the satisfiability problem for MTL over finite timed words is decidable, with non-primitive recursive complexity. We also consider the model-checking problem for MTL: whether all words accepted by a given Alur-Dill timed automaton satisfy a given MTL formula. We show that this pr...

Pseudo-MTL algebras or weak pseudo-BL algebras are non-commutative fuzzy structures which arise from pseudo-t-norms, namely, pseudo-BL algebras without the pseudo-divisibility condition. The aim of this paper is to investigate the properties of pseudo-BL algebras that also hold for pseudoMTL algebras. We will also study some classes of pseudo-MTL algebras such as good, local and Archimedean pse...

In this work, we adhere to explore a Multi-Tasking learning (MTL) based network perform document attribute classification such as the font type, size, emphasis and scanning resolution of image. To accomplish these tasks, operate on either segmented word level or uniformed size patches randomly cropped out document. Furthermore, hybrid convolution neural (CNN) architecture ”MTL+MI”, which is com...

The relationship between the configuration of the mating type locus (MTL) and white-opaque switching in Candida albicans has been examined. Seven genetically unrelated clinical isolates selected for their capacity to undergo the white-opaque transition all proved to be homozygous at the MTL locus, either MTLa or MTLalpha. In an analysis of the allelism of 220 clinical isolates representing the ...

As it was shown in [7], Monoidal t-norm based logic (MTL) is a logic of left-continuous t-norms. In other words, this means that MTL enjoys the standard completeness theorem. In this paper we present a different proof of this theorem. In fact, we prove even more since we show that MTL is complete w.r.t. the class of standard MTL-algebras with finite congruence lattices or equivalently with fini...
