Learning mathematics has been considered as a great challenge for many students. The advancement of computer technologies, in particular, artificial intelligence (AI), provides an opportunity to cope with this problem by diagnosing individual students’ learning problems and providing personalized supports maximize their performances courses. However, there is lack reviews from diverse perspecti...

The purpose of this study was to determine the thermoregulatory response to, perceived comfort and moisture management properties of, base-layer garments during intermittent treadmill exercise in controlled laboratory conditions. Seven males performed an intermittent treadmill protocol whilst wearing a base-layer hot garment, base-layer cold garment, a 100% cotton t-shirt and bare-chested. Envi...

As the official Journal of the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI), an academic organization, The AJMS will support the academic, educational, and medical research activities of the SSCI thr...

There are a number of subsets of primes with a conjectured density of a constant times x/ log x. These include the primes separated by a fixed even integer, Sophie Germain primes and the so-called “thin primes”, i.e. primes of the form 2q − 1 where q is prime [3]. In order to gain some familiarity with sequences of this density we undertook an investigation of the set of primes of prime order, ...

We show how preex probabilities can be computed for stochastic linear indexed grammars (SLIGs). Our results apply as well to stochastic tree-adjoining grammars (STAGs), due to their equivalence to SLIGs.

On behalf of the members of the editorial board, I am very pleased to inform our readers that Endocrinology and Metabolism (EnM, pISSN 2093-596X, eISSN 2093-5978) is now indexed by Clarivate Analytics’ Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), which is a new index in the Web of Scienc Core Collection. In an official letter sent on August 1, 2017, Clarivate Analytics informed me that starting in 2...

BACKGROUND Systematic evaluations of the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging have been widely conducted in many countries. Although Japan's total number of PET units is the second highest in the world, very limited effort has been made to systematically assess the methodological quality of PET studies in Japan. We performed a systematic review to assess the charact...
