We design and analyze Variance-Aware-Lower Upper Confidence Bound (VA-LUCB), a parameter-free algorithm, for identifying the best arm under fixed-confidence setup stringent constraint that variance of chosen is strictly smaller than given threshold. An upper bound on VA-LUCB’s sample complexity shown to be characterized by fundamental variance-aware hardness quantity <inline-formula xmlns:mml="...

Myosin Va belongs to the unconventional myosin family that has been identified in many non-muscle tissues of vertebrates and invertebrates. All known myosins bind actin and produce mechanical force through ATP hydrolysis. Myosin Va is only expressed in melanocytes and in cells of the neuronal system (Mercer et al., 1991). In melanocytes it is part of the melanosome transport complex (Wu et al.,...

Artery Arising from the Internal Carotid Artery I read with interest the article by Chan et al. They stated that there was a rare congenital anastomosis between the vertebral artery (VA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) with an absence of communication between the common carotid and cervical ICA. I, however, diagnose that there was an acquired occlusion of the ICA at its origin with a developm...

the existence of eight imitations and five translations of hosn va del into other languages such as english and german shows the importance of this persian book of verse. many researchers have sought the sources of this work and some sources have been mentioned, but the imitation of sibak neishaburi from nezami’s khosrow va shirin, as the most important source of this work, has not yet been m...

Response to Letter by Yamada et al Regarding “Differentiation of Papillary Muscle From Fascicular and Mitral Annular Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With and Without Structural Heart Disease” To the Editor: We thank Yamada et al for their interest in our recent article. We wish to address the points raised by their letter. First, Yamada et al raise concerns about the location of the left an...

The Verifiability Approach (VA) is a promising new approach for deception detection. It extends existing verbal credibility assessment tools by asking interviewees to provide statements rich in verifiable detail. Details that i) have been experienced with an identifiable person, ii) have been witnessed by an identifiable person, or iii) have been recorded through technology, are labelled as ver...

Recombinant Factor IX characterized by a high percentage of active protein can be obtained in the milk of transgenic animals that incorporate chimeric DNA molecules according to the present invention. Transgenic animals of the present invention are produced by introducing into developing embryos DNA that encodes Factor IX, such that the foreign DNA is stably incorporated in the DNA of germ line...
