The hm (m = 1, . . .) family of admissible heuristics for STRIPS planning with additive costs generalise the h heuristic, which results when m = 1. We show that the step from h to hm can be made by changing the planning problem instead of the heuristic function. This furthers our understanding of the hm heuristic, and may inspire application of the same generalisation to admissible heuristics s...

We investigate the HM(+)‑He complexes (M = Group 2 metal) using quantum chemistry. Equilibrium geometries are linear for M = Be and Mg, and bent for M = Ca-Ra; the explanation for this lies in the differing nature of the highest occupied molecular orbitals in the two sets of complexes. The difference primarily occurs as a result of the formation of the H-M(+) bond, and so the HM(+) diatomics ar...

To selectively remove mercury(II), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HM) and methacrylate/acrylamide (HM/ACR) hydrogels were synthesized using radiation. These used in swelling, diffusion, binding studies. Swelling parameters for HM/ACR−Hg2+ system are higher than those of HM−Hg2+ systems. Binding Hg2+ has been observed to be C-type HM L-type HM/ACR hydrogels. calculated Freundlich, Langmuir Henry m...

Head motion (HM) is a well known confound in analyses of functional MRI (fMRI) data. Neuroimaging researchers therefore typically treat HM as a nuisance covariate in their analyses. Even so, it is possible that HM shares a common genetic influence with the trait of interest. Here we investigate the extent to which this relationship is due to shared genetic factors, using HM extracted from resti...

BACKGROUND Contaminated computer keyboards have been acknowledged as a potential source for bacterial transmission between health care providers and patients. Biosafe HM 4100 is an antimicrobial polymer that can be incorporated into the polyurethane material used to make keyboard covers. This study aimed to determine whether plastic keyboard covers containing HM 4100 effectively minimize the su...

BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma (NECC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of cervical cancer. To date, no NECC cell-based model is available, which hinders the development of new therapeutic strategies for NECC. In this study, we derived a new NECC cell line from an ex vivo biopsy and used it to explore novel drug combination approach for NECC. RESULTS The stable HM-1 cell line dis...

Background—Monitoring performance of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generators and leads is important. Methods available are with in-person evaluations or by automatic remote home monitoring (HM). These were prospectively evaluated and compared in the TRUST trial. The HM technology tested performed daily self-checks and databasing with rapid event notifications for out-of-range (i...

The Hindley-Milner (HM) type system automatically infers the types at which polymorphic functions are used. In HM, the inferred types are unambiguous, and every expression has a principal type. However, type inference is sometimes unwieldy or impossible, especially in the presence of type system extensions such as type classes and typelevel functions. Even here, programmers cannot provide type ...

Human monocytic colony-stimulating factor (hM-CSF) enhances several effector functions of human peripheral blood monocytes. In this study, we investigated the effect of the Mr 85,000 form of hM-CSF on the tumoricidal activity of human monocytes against several leukemic cell lines using a 12-h chromium release assay. Human peripheral blood monocytes preincubated with hM-CSF for 48 h showed more ...

In preterm infants, feeding with human milk (HM) is a very effective intervention for the prevention of infections and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and for potentially improved neurocognitive and cardiovascular outcomes in the long-term. Hospitals and physicians are advised to recommend HM for preterm and other high-risk infants either by direct breastfeeding and/or using the mother's own e...
