The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension measures the complexity of a learning machine, and a low VC dimension leads to good generalization. The recently proposed Minimal Complexity Machine (MCM) learns a hyperplane classifier by minimizing an exact bound on the VC dimension. This paper extends the MCM classifier to the fuzzy domain. The use of a fuzzy membership is known to reduce the effect of ...

Introduction In recent years, a master chemical mechanism (MCM) has been developed to describe the atmospheric degradation of VOC in the atmosphere (Jenkin et al., 1997a; Saunders et al., 1997). The MCM has been developed as part of a collaborative project between the University of Leeds, AEA Technology plc and the UK Meteorological Office, and funded by the UK Department of the Environment (no...

The minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM) proteins are required for processive DNA replication and are a target of S-phase checkpoints. The eukaryotic MCM complex consists of six proteins (MCM2-7) that form a heterohexameric ring with DNA helicase activity, which is loaded on chromatin to form the pre-replication complex. Upon entry in S phase, the helicase is activated and opens the DNA dup...

Synthesis of mesoporous materials with a bimodal pore size has always been of great importance for size-selective separation process. Especially, ordered mesoporous cubic MCM-48 with its highly interwoven and branched pore structure, is a potential separation material in applications similar to which zeolites are now being used. This material could have specific technological advantages because...

We exploit an improved mammalian cell-free DNA replication system to analyse quiescence and Cdc6 function. Quiescent 3T3 nuclei cannot initiate replication in S phase cytosol from HeLa or 3T3 cells. Following release from quiescence, nuclei become competent to initiate semiconservative DNA replication in S phase cytosol, but not in G0 phase cytosol. Immunoblots show that quiescent cells lack Cd...

The regulated recruitment of Cdc45 and GINS is key to activating the eukaryotic MCM(2-7) replicative helicase. We demonstrate that the homohexameric archaeal MCM helicase associates with orthologs of GINS and Cdc45 in vivo and in vitro. Association of these factors with MCM robustly stimulates the MCM helicase activity. In contrast to the situation in eukaryotes, archaeal Cdc45 and GINS form an...

We present a new technique for content based image retrieval using motif cooccurrence matrix (MCM). The MCM is derived from the motif transformed image. The whole image is divided into 2 £ 2 pixel grids. Each grid is replaced by a scan motif that minimizes the local gradient while traversing the 2 £ 2 grid forming a motif transformed image. The MCM is then defined as a 3D matrix whose ði; j; kÞ...

Spherical MCM-48 mesoporous sieve co-doped with vanadium and iron was successfully synthesized via one-step hydrothermal method. The material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectra, and X-ray photoelectr...

In the last two decades, many efficient algorithms and architectures have been introduced for the design of low complexity bit-parallel multiple constant multiplications (MCM) operation which dominates the complexity of many digital signal processing systems. On the other hand, little attention has been given to the digit-serial MCM design that offers alternative low complexity MCM operations a...
