We outline three principles that should guide us in the construction of a theory of canonical quantum gravity: 1) di eomorphism invariance, 2) implementing the proper dynamics and related constraint algebra, 3) local Lorentz invariance. We illustrate each of them with its role in model calculations in loop quantum gravity. ∗ Corresponding author. Email: [email protected]. Tel/Fax: +1 225 578 0464.

Abstract Introduction Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) adherence may support personalized clinical management. Models were developed at various time-points after PAP initiation and in moving time windows. Methods Deep neural network (DNN) models trained utilizing daily data (Kaiser Permanente, Southern California). The DNN was evaluated with 10-fold cro...

Glucose uptake by the heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium Oenococcus oeni B1 was studied at the physiological and gene expression levels. Glucose- or fructose-grown bacteria catalyzed uptake of [(14)C]glucose over a pH range from pH 4 to 9, with maxima at pHs 5.5 and 7. Uptake occurred in two-step kinetics in a high- and low-affinity reaction. The high-affinity uptake followed Michaelis-Me...
