In this work, we present the Text Conditioned Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network, (TAC-GAN) a text to image Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for synthesizing images from their text descriptions. Former approaches have tried to condition the generative process on the textual data; but allying it to the usage of class information, known to diversify the generated samples and ...

We propose testing for business cycle first-moment asymmetries in Markov-switching autoregressive (MS-AR) models. We derive the parametric restrictions on MS-AR models that rule out types of asymmetries such as deepness, steepness, and sharpness, and set out a testing procedure based on Wald statistics which have standard asymptotics. For a two-regime model, such as that popularised by Hamilton...

a quantitative analysis method for fudosteine in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (hplc-esi/ms/ms) was established, which shows high sensitivity and selectivity. the mobile phase composition was 75% 20 mm acetic acid and 25% acetonitril, which was pumped at a flow rate of 0.40 ml/min. the overall chromatographic run time was ...

PURPOSE Functions pertaining to DNA repair and synthesis are believed to play a critical role in cancer development and seem to be affected by genetic polymorphisms. Herein we performed a case-control study evaluating the influence of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in XPA, ERCC5 and MTR [rs1800975 (G-4A), rs17655 (Asp1104His) and rs1805087 (A2756G), respectively] in lymphoma risk....

In the transcription that follows, I have attempted to preserve the original layout ofthe catalogue (and by implication, the library itself), but have altered the system ofnumeration in order ...

Are you a nurse leader or professional development practitioner in a health care facility? This article provides recommendations to promote quality and safety education with a focus on systems thinking awareness among direct care nurses. A key point is error prevention, which requires a shared effort among all nurses. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(7):295-297.
