We consider the best sparsifying basis (BSB) and the kurtosis maximizing basis (KMB) of a particularly simple stochastic process called the “generalized spike process”. The BSB is a basis for which a given set of realizations of a stochastic process can be represented most sparsely, whereas the KMB is an approximation to the least statistically-dependent basis (LSDB) for which the data represen...

Thermoanaerobacter thermohydrosulfuricus BSB-33 is a thermophilic gram positive obligate anaerobe isolated from a hot spring in West Bengal, India. Unlike other T. thermohydrosulfuricus strains, BSB-33 is able to anaerobically reduce Fe(III) and Cr(VI) optimally at 60 °C. BSB-33 is the first Cr(VI) reducing T. thermohydrosulfuricus genome sequenced and of particular interest for bioremediation ...

This study was conducted to examine the effects of supplementing brown seaweed by-products (BSB) in the diet of ruminants on ruminal fermentation characteristics, growth performance, endocrine response, and milk production in Holstein cows. In Experiment 1, the effects of different levels (0%, 2%, and 4% of basal diet as Control, 2% BSB, 4% BSB, respectively) of BSB were evaluated at 3, 6, 9, 1...

Die üblichen Annahmen für die average-case Analyse von binären Suchbäumen (BSB) sind zufällige Einfügungen (random insertions) und zufällige Löschungen (random deletions). In einem durch zufällige Einfügungen aufgebauten BSB haben die Zugriffsoperationen eine erwartete Zeitkomplexität von und schon die ersten Publikationen über BSB enthalten wesentliche analytische Ergebnisse für solche ‘random...

Strategies for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) include therapies designed to decrease senile plaque (SP) formation and/or promote clearance of SPs, but clinical trials of these treatments are limited by the lack of effective methods to monitor changes in plaque burden in the brains of living AD patients. However, because SPs are extracellular deposits of amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta), it may ...

Early promoter activity of HPV-58 molecular variants isolated from high-grade cervical lesions in Brazil was compared. Luciferase reporter assays were conducted in C33 cells transfected with the complete long control region of 3 molecular variants of HPV-58 as well as HPV-58, -18 or -16 prototypes. The HPV-58 prototype and Bsb-329 and Bsb-367 variants showed a promoter activity similar to that ...

INTRODUCTION Aim of this study was to reduce blood loss caused by diagnostic blood sampling and to minimize the development of anemia in a high-risk group of mechanically ventilated medical intensive care patients. We therefore implemented a "blood-saving bundle" (BSB) combining a closed-loop arterial blood sampling system, smaller sampling tubes, reduced frequency of blood drawings, and reduce...

BABS is an acronym for Library Archiving and Access System (Bibliothekarisches Archivierungsund Bereitstellungssystem), which constitutes the infrastructure for digital long-term preservation at the Bavarian State Library (BSB). During the two-year project BABS2 funded by German Research Association (DFG) BSB focuses together with the LeibnizSupercomputing Centre (LRZ) on advancing its organiza...

In this paper, we introduce an associative memory storing grey scale images. It’s based on a suitable translation of the grey scale image into a Gray-coded binary image, stored in a single BSB binary neural network. The particular BSB we are going to exploit has the property of local connectivity. The chosen learning algorithm guarantees asymptotic stability of the stored patterns, low computat...
