The goal of this investigation is to study the performance of two different aspects of neural network ensembles: one ensemble contains over-trained networks and the other very many members. The over-training of the networks within the first ensemble is achieved with a larger number of hidden neurons than the approximation task in question would require. The result of the investigation is that over

"Software as a Service" (SaaS) concept emerged in the late twentieth century as a new software delivered model and is outstanding in terms of swift software delivery. Some analysts predict that the unique of some characteristics in SaaS motivate software providers to offer many types of software as a service. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system has been delivered by providers a

Collagen VI, a microfibrillar protein found in virtually all connective tissues, is composed of three distinct subunits, alpha 1(VI), alpha 2(VI), and alpha 3(VI), which associate intracellularly to form triple helical heterotrimeric monomers then dimers and tetramers. The secreted tetramers associate end-to-end to form beaded microfibrils. Although the basic steps in assembly and the structure of

Innate immunity is important for the integrity of the host against potentially invasive pathogenic microorganisms in the environment. Antibiotic peptides with broad antimicrobial activity are part of the innate immune system. We investigated the presence of the cathelicidin, human cationic antimicrobial protein (hCAP-18), in the male reproductive system. We found strong expression of the hCAP-18 g

The purpose of this thesis is to criticize the Commission's approach to the application of Article 82 to the exclusionary abuses of the dominant firms. It is a very interesting and hot topic as the attitude of the Commission and the European Courts have many implications on the consumer welfare and total efficiency in common market and innovation capacity and the economic development of the Eu

The paper is based on a study of hunting tourism enterprising in Sweden. The study examines how hunting tourism businesses in Sweden navigate in a complex social, economic and moral environment. The aim of the present paper is to identify how tensions between a market- oriented value sphere and a value sphere based on friendship- and community reciprocity are played out in hunting tourism entrepre

The Lund Cardiac MR Group at the Department of Clinical Physiology, Lund University was established 1999 by professor Håkan Arheden and is led by a steering committee consisting of professors Håkan Arheden, Henrik Engblom, Anthony Aletras, associate professors Einar Heiberg, Ellen Ostenfeld, Erik Hedström, Katarina Steding-Ehrenborg and Johannes Töger. The group performs clinically integrated res

The relationship between a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a government can be unpredictable, which could complicate the NGO’s operations in a resource dependent environment. If a government decides to abruptly cut its official development assistance allocation towards the civil society; does that not only reflect the government’s new development policy but it might also jeopardize the con

The European Single Market is built on a patchwork of contract laws and according to the European Commission’s findings differences between contract laws of the respective Member States substantially complicate cross-border trade. More specifically, the fragmentation of contract laws contributes to increasing legal complexity and costs for businesses while lowering consumers’ confidence in shoppin

Usually the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are derived via Hamming windowed DFT spectrum. In this paper, we advocate to use a so-called multitaper method instead. Multitaper methods form a spectrum estimate using multiple window functions and frequency-domain averaging. Multitapers provide a robust spectrum estimate but have not received much attention in speech processing. Our speake

Politicians and public relations practitioners need to consciously and strategically communicate on Twitter not only during elections, but also during incumbency. However; previous approaches to PR failed to offer candidates successful long-term strategies. In addition, political PR research underestimated the influence of the characteristics of Twitter on the tone and the rhetoric of political co

Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,

Pufendorfinstitutet är ett tvärvetenskapligt institut med syfte att stimulera till samarbete mellan forskare från olika discipliner inom Lunds universitet. I "Teman" och" Advanced Study Groups" ges forskare från alla universitetets fakulteter möjlighet att tillsammans utforska vetenskapliga problem .The Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies is an interdisciplinary institute with the aim to stimulate collaboration between researchers from different disciplines within Lund University. In "Themes" and "Advanced Study Groups", researchers from all faculties of the university are given the opportunity to jointly explore scientific issues.

Oncogenic c-Kit mutations have been shown to display ligand-independent receptor activation and cell proliferation. A substitution of aspartate to valine at amino acid 816 (D816V) is one of the most commonly found oncogenic c-Kit mutations and is found in >90% of cases of mastocytosis and less commonly in germ-cell tumors, core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia and mucosal melanomas. The mecha
