The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of oral 30% dextrose during venepuncture in neonates. Neonates admitted in the Special Care Nursery for jaundice from September 200 to January 2001 were recruited for this double-blind randomised controlled trial. The intervention consisted of administration of either 2 ml of oral 30% dextrose or 2 ml of sterile water 2 minutes b...

In the present study, molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized using caffeic acid (CA) as a template molecule and then used for extraction of CA chlorogenic (CLA) from complex matrices. Syntheses carried out in tetrahydrofuran porogenic solvent 4-vinyl pyridine, methacrylic acid, acrylamide, 1-vinyl imidazole monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate crosslinker 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitril...

Accuracy and speed are the two most im-portant metrics for Network Intrusion Detection or Pre-vention Systems (NIDS/NIPSes). Due to emerging poly-morphic attacks and the fact that in many cases regu-lar expressions (regexes) cannot capture the vulnerabil-ity conditions accurately, the accuracy of existing regex-based NIDS/NIPS systems has become a serious prob-lem. I...

KUPS (The University of Kansas Proteomics Service) provides high-quality protein-protein interaction (PPI) data for researchers developing and evaluating computational models for predicting PPIs by allowing users to construct ready-to-use data sets of interacting protein pairs (IPPs), non-interacting protein pairs (NIPs) and associated features. Multiple filters and options allow the user to co...

BACKGROUND The incidence of sudden cardiac death increases in populations who experience disasters such as earthquakes. The physiological link between psychological stress and sudden death is unknown; one mechanism may be the direct effects of sympathetic arousal on arrhythmias. To determine whether mental stress alters the induction, rate, or termination of ventricular arrhythmias, we performe...

In this document, we provide supplementary material for our NIPS 2014 paper “Zero-Shot Recognition with Unreliable Attributes”. Sec 1 shows how unlearnable attributes are avoided by our method. Sec 2 discusses the details of the signature uncertainty model introduced in Sec 3.2.3 of the paper. Sec 3 gives additional details for our controlled noise experiments (Sec 4.1 of the paper). Sec 4 list...

Topic models have proven to be a useful tool for discovering latent structures in document collections. However, most document collections often come as temporal streams and thus several aspects of the latent structure such as the number of topics, the topics’ distribution and popularity are time-evolving. Several models exist that model the evolution of some but not all of the above aspects. I...

Recently proposed neural network activation functions such as rectified linear, maxout, and local winner-take-all have allowed for faster and more effective training of deep neural architectures on large and complex datasets. The common trait among these functions is that they implement local competition between small groups of units within a layer, so that only part of the network is activated...
