Potassium bromide (KBr), an old antiepileptic agent, is illegally used in pharmaceutical or food industries to improve the product appearance. KBr has been proven to influence several pathways which are important in memory formation. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of KBr on spatial working memory using object recognition task (ORT). Rats received a single dose of KBr ...

In this paper, we argue that enforcing routing consistency in keybased routing (KBR) protocols can simplify P2P application design and make structured P2P overlays suitable for more applications. We define two levels of routing consistency semantics, namely weakly consistent KBR and strongly consistent KBR. We focus on an algorithm that provides strong consistency based on group membership serv...

Key based routing (KBR) enables peer-to-peer applications to create and use distributed services. KBR is more flexible than distributed hash tables (DHT). However, the broader the application area, the more important become performance issues for a KBR ser-

A novel hantavirus, first detected in Siberian lemmings (Lemmus sibiricus) collected near the Topografov River in the Taymyr Peninsula, Siberia (A. Plyusnin et al., Lancet 347:1835-1836, 1996), was isolated in Vero E6 cells and in laboratory-bred Norwegian lemmings (Lemmus lemmus). The virus, named Topografov virus (TOP), was most closely related to Khabarovsk virus (KBR) and Puumala viruses (P...

An investigation was carried out as to whether copper affected the intracellular accumulation of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II); CDDP) and whether changes in the expression of ATP7A and CTR1 were related to acquired resistance using CDDP-sensitive (KB) and -resistant (KBR/0.8, KBR/1.2) cells. Intracellular platinum accumulation and platinum-DNA adducts were significantly lower in t...

We investigate properties of kernel based regression (KBR) methods which are inspired by the convex risk minimization method of support vector machines. We first describe the relation between the used loss function of the KBR method and the tail of the response variable Y . We then establish a consistency result for KBR and give assumptions for the existence of the influence function. In partic...

Bromide is a conservative tracer that is often applied with non-conservative solutes such as pesticides to estimate their retardation in the soil. It has been applied in concentrations of up to 250 g Br L-1, levels at which the growth of single-celled organisms can be inhibited. Bromide applications may therefore affect the biodegradation of non-conservative solutes in soil. The present study i...

The knowledge-based rational decision model (KBR-model), developed in [1], offers an approach to rational decision making in a non-probabilistic setting, e.g., in perfect information games with deterministic payoffs. The KBR-model is an epistemically explicit form of standard game-theoretical assumptions, e.g., Harsanyi’s Maximin Postulate. This model suggests following maximin strategy over al...

We investigate statistical properties for a broad class of modern kernel-based regression (KBR) methods. These kernel methods were developed during the last decade and are inspired by convex risk minimization in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. One leading example is support vector regression. We first describe the relationship between the loss function L of the KBR method and the tail of t...
