In this work, a three–dimensional model was developed to describe the passive mechanical behaviour of anisotropic skeletal muscle tissue. To validate the model, orientation–dependent axial (\(0^\circ\), \(45^\circ\), \(90^\circ\)) and semi–confined compression experiments (mode I, II, III) were performed on soleus muscle tissue from rabbits. In the latter experiments, specimen deformation is prescribed in the loading direction and prevented in an additional spatial direction, fibre compression at \(0^\circ\) (mode I), fibre elongation at \(90^\circ\) (mode II) and a neutral state of the fibres at \(90^\circ\) where their length is kept constant (mode III). Overall, the model can adequately describe the mechanical behaviour with a relatively small number of model parameters. The stiffest tissue response during orientation–dependent axial compression (\(-\,7.7\,\pm \,1.3\) kPa) occurs when the fibres are oriented perpendicular to the loading direction (\(90^\circ\)) and are thus stretched during loading. Semi–confined compression experiments yielded the stiffest tissue (\(-\,36.7\,\pm \,11.2\) kPa) in mode II when the muscle fibres are stretched. The extensive data set collected in this study allows to study the different error measures depending on the deformation state or the combination of deformation states. 相似文献12.
The unusual ??-halogen bond interactions are investigated between $ \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} $ and X1X2 (X1, X2?=?F, Cl, Br) employing MP2 at 6-311?+?G(2d) and aug-cc-pVDZ levels according to the ??CP (counterpoise) corrected potential energy surface (PES)?? method. The order of the ??-halogen bond interactions and stabilities of the complexes are obtained to be $ \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} \ldots {{\hbox{F}}_2} < \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} \ldots {\hbox{ClF < }}\left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} \ldots {\hbox{C}}{{\hbox{l}}_2} < \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} \ldots {\hbox{BrCl}}\quad { < }\quad \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} \ldots {\hbox{B}}{{\hbox{r}}_2}\quad { < }\quad \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} \ldots {\hbox{BrF}}{.} $ at MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The analyses of the Mulliken charge transfer, natural bond orbital (NBO), atoms in molecules (AIM) theory and electron density shifts reveal that the nature of the ??-halogen bond interaction in the complexes of ClF, BrF and BrCl might partly be charge transfer from the delocalized ??-HOMO orbital of $ \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} $ to X1X2. This result suggests that the positive aromatic ring $ \left( {\hbox{BNN}} \right)_3^{+} $ might act as a ??-electron donor to form the ??-halogen bond.

There have been two contrasting doctrines concerning learning, more generally about acquisition of knowledge: empiricism and rationalism. The theory of learning in such a field as artificial intelligence seems to fall within the empiricist framework. On the hand, N. Chomsky and his followers have discussed, during the last decade, concerning learning, especially about language learning, from the rationalist point of view (Chomsky, 1965). The main feature in the rationalist approach toward a theory of learning lies in the speculation that in order to acquire knowledge it is indispensable for a learner to be endowed with “innate ideas”, and that “experience” in the external world are merely subsidiary types of information for the learner. If this is acceptable, we can inquire: Under what kind of innate ideas can the learner understand the structure of the external world? In our previous paper (Uesaka, Aizawa, Ebara, and Ozeki, 1973), we formalized this by introducing the mathematical notion of “learnability”, and gave a partial answer to the above inquiry. In this formalization we assumed that the set F of objects to be learned consists of mappings of N to itself, where N is the set of positive integers. Then, constructing a topological space (F, \(\mathcal{O}\) ) by an appropriate family \(\mathcal{O}\) of open sets, we observed that the notion of learnability can be well described in terms of topological properties of the learning space (F, \(\mathcal{O}\) ). Many problems must be solved, however, before we raise the theory to a complete model of the rationalist theory of learning. The topological study of the space (F, \(\mathcal{O}\) ) is, we believe, the first step toward this approach. In this context, we discuss the topological aspects of this space. Now we define \(\mathcal{O}\) as follows: By N 2 we mean the direct product of two N's. Let s be a subset of N 2. If, for any (x, y), (x′, y′) in s, x=x′ implies y=y′, then we say that s is single-valued. Let f ∈ F, If, for any (x, y) in s, y=f(x), then f is said to be on s, denoted as \(f\underline \supseteq s\) . Let \(\pi \left( s \right) = \left\{ {g;g \in F,g\underline \supseteq s} \right\}\) . A single-valued finite subset of N 2 is called datum. Let D denote the family of all data. Let \(\mathcal{O}* = \left\{ \phi \right\} \cup \left\{ {\pi \left( d \right);d \in D} \right\}\) , and \(\mathcal{O}\) denote the family of all subsets of F, each of which is written as \(\mathop \cup \limits_\alpha W_{\alpha }\) , where W α is in \(\mathcal{O}*\) . Then, it is easily seen that \(\mathcal{O}\) satisfies the axiom of the open system of a topological space. It is shown that the learning space (F, \(\mathcal{O}\) ) has the following properties:

The second order nonlinear differential equation
arises from a kinetics model of abrin binding in an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphocyte culture. Some results on the
dynamical behavior of this equation are given. These results are then discussed in relation to the known kinetics behavior

BackgroundIt has previously been shown that the morphology of the P-wave neither depends on atrial size in healthy subjects with physiologically enlarged atria nor on the physiological anatomical variation in transverse orientation of the left atrium. The present study aimed to investigate if different pressures in the left and right atrium are associated with different P-wave morphologies.Methods38 patients with isolated, increased left atrial pressure, 51 patients with isolated, increased right atrial pressure and 76 patients with biatrially increased pressure were studied. All had undergone right heart catheterization and had 12-lead electrocardiographic recordings, which were transformed into vectorcardiograms for detailed P-wave morphology analysis.ResultsNormal P-wave morphology (type 1) was more common in patients with isolated increased pressure in the right atrium while abnormal P-wave morphology (type 2) was more common in the groups with increased left atrial pressure (P = 0.032). Moreover, patients with increased left atrial pressure, either isolated or in conjunction with increased right atrial pressure, had significantly more often a P-wave morphology with a positive deflection in the sagittal plane (P = 0.004).ConclusionIsolated elevated right atrial pressure was associated with normal P-wave morphology while left-sided atrial pressure elevation, either isolated or in combination with right atrial pressure elevation, was associated with abnormal P-wave morphology.17.

Genetic parameters for growth, stem straightness, pilodyn penetration, relative bark thickness and survival were estimated in a base-population of five open-pollinated provenance/progeny trials of Eucalyptus viminalis. The trials, located in northern, central and southern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, comprised 148 open-pollinated families from 13 Australian native provenances and eight local Argentinean seedlots. The Australian native provenances come from a limited range of the natural distribution. Overall survival, based on the latest assessment of each trial, was 62.4%. Single-site analyses showed that statistically significant provenances differences (p?<?0.05) for at least one of the studied traits in three out of the five trials analyzed. The local land race performed inconsistently in this study. The average narrow-sense individual-tree heritability estimate $ \left( {{{\hat{h}}^2}} \right) $ was 0.27 for diameter and 0.17 for total height. Values of $ {\hat{h}^2} $ also increased with age. Pilodyn penetration, assessed at only one site, was more heritable $ \left( {{{\hat{h}}^2} = 0.32} \right) $ than the average of growth traits. Estimated individual-tree heritabilities were moderate to low for stem straightness (average of 0.20) and relative bark thickness (0.16). The estimated additive genetic correlations $ \left( {{{{r}}_{{A}}}} \right) $ between diameter and height were consistently high and positive ( $ {{r}_{^A}} $ average of 0.90). High additive genetic correlations were observed between growth variables and pilodyn penetration ( $ {{r}_{^A}} $ average of 0.58). Relative bark thickness showed a negative correlation with diameter $ \left( {{{{r}}_{^A}} = - 0.39} \right) $ and height $ \left( {{{{r}}_{^A}} = - 0.51} \right) $ . The average estimated additive genetic correlation between sites was high for diameter (0.67). The implications of all these parameter estimates for genetic improvement of E. viminalis in Argentina are discussed. 相似文献

BackgroundThe basic RNA secondary structure prediction problem or single sequence folding problem (SSF) was solved 35 years ago by a now well-known \(O(n^3)\)-time dynamic programming method. Recently three methodologies—Valiant, Four-Russians, and Sparsification—have been applied to speedup RNA secondary structure prediction. The sparsification method exploits two properties of the input: the number of subsequence Z with the endpoints belonging to the optimal folding set and the maximum number base-pairs L. These sparsity properties satisfy \(0 \le L \le n / 2\) and \(n \le Z \le n^2 / 2\), and the method reduces the algorithmic running time to O(LZ). While the Four-Russians method utilizes tabling partial results.ResultsIn this paper, we explore three different algorithmic speedups. We first expand the reformulate the single sequence folding Four-Russians \(\Theta \left(\frac{n^3}{\log ^2 n}\right)\)-time algorithm, to utilize an on-demand lookup table. Second, we create a framework that combines the fastest Sparsification and new fastest on-demand Four-Russians methods. This combined method has worst-case running time of \(O(\tilde{L}\tilde{Z})\), where \(\frac{{L}}{\log n} \le \tilde{L}\le min\left({L},\frac{n}{\log n}\right)\) and \(\frac{{Z}}{\log n}\le \tilde{Z} \le min\left({Z},\frac{n^2}{\log n}\right)\). Third we update the Four-Russians formulation to achieve an on-demand \(O( n^2/ \log ^2n )\)-time parallel algorithm. This then leads to an asymptotic speedup of \(O(\tilde{L}\tilde{Z_j})\) where \(\frac{{Z_j}}{\log n}\le \tilde{Z_j} \le min\left({Z_j},\frac{n}{\log n}\right)\) and \(Z_j\) the number of subsequence with the endpoint j belonging to the optimal folding set.ConclusionsThe on-demand formulation not only removes all extraneous computation and allows us to incorporate more realistic scoring schemes, but leads us to take advantage of the sparsity properties. Through asymptotic analysis and empirical testing on the base-pair maximization variant and a more biologically informative scoring scheme, we show that this Sparse Four-Russians framework is able to achieve a speedup on every problem instance, that is asymptotically never worse, and empirically better than achieved by the minimum of the two methods alone.20.

We study a class of coalescents derived from a sampling procedure out of $N$ i.i.d. Pareto $\left( \alpha \right) $ random variables, normalized by their sum, including $\beta $ –size-biasing on total length effects ( $\beta <\alpha $ ). Depending on the range of $\alpha ,$ we derive the large $N$ limit coalescents structure, leading either to a discrete-time Poisson-Dirichlet $ \left(\alpha ,-\beta \right) \Xi -$ coalescent ( $\alpha \in \left[ 0,1\right) $ ), or to a family of continuous-time Beta $\left( 2-\alpha ,\alpha -\beta \right) \Lambda -$ coalescents ( $\alpha \in \left[ 1,2\right) $ ), or to the Kingman coalescent ( $\alpha \ge 2$ ). We indicate that this class of coalescent processes (and their scaling limits) may be viewed as the genealogical processes of some forward in time evolving branching population models including selection effects. In such constant-size population models, the reproduction step, which is based on a fitness-dependent Poisson Point Process with scaling power-law $\left( \alpha \right) $ intensity, is coupled to a selection step consisting of sorting out the $N$ fittest individuals issued from the reproduction step. 相似文献
