Performing surgery through a frontonasal bone flap with the horse standing and sedated, rather than anesthetized, eliminates risks and expense of general anesthesia.
This paper reviews Machine Learning (ML), and extends and complements previous work (Kocabas, 1991; Kalkanis and Conroy, 1991). Although this paper focuses on inductive learning, it at least touches on a great many aspects of ML in general. In addition, incremental induction is also reviewed. Therefore, a general review of ML is presented, but specific detail which has been covered previously is omitted, although other relevant references are noted, and later material is commented upon.
We investigate fault growth and linkage during development of a rafted terrain in the Lower Congo Basin. offshore Angola. Miocene thin-skinned extension has led to the development of isolated raft blocks separated by a graben filled with syn-deformational strata. Angular unconformities together with thinning and onlapping of intra-rafi strata onto salt bodies suggest that thick salt was mobile during thin-skinned extension. 3D fault array geometries and displacement patterns record the subsequent deformation history of the graben during further thin-skinned extension. The mode of thin-skinned extension has important consequences for the Neogene turbidite hydrocarbon play associated with the rafted province of the Lower Congo Basin. The presence of thick mobile salt will influence pre-salt source rock maturation and the development of pre-salt/post-salt hydrocarbon migration windows.DAVIES, R.
Left sides from 18 beef carcasses (9 steers and 9 heifers) were divided equally among three marbling groups (low = traces or slight; intermediate = small or modest; high = slightly abundant) and evaluated to determine the relationship between longissimus composition and the percentage each major muscle contributes to the weight of the beef carcass. The adductor (A), biceps femoris (BF), deep pectoral (DP), gluteal group (GL), infraspinatus (I), longissimus (L), psoas major (PM), rectus abdominis (RA), rectus femoris (RF), semimembranosus (SM), semitendinosus (ST), serratus ventralis (SV), spinalis (SP), supraspinatus (SU) and triceps brachii (TB) were removed, trimmed of external fat and weighed. Muscle weights were expressed as a percentage of hot carcass weight: A = .76%; BF = 3.30%; DP = 1.89%; GL = 1.81%; I = 1.10%; L = 3.35%; PM = .95%; RA = 1.12%; RF = .94%; SM = 2.35%; ST = 1.14%; SV = 2.26%; SP = .82%; SU = .69% and TB = 1.83%. The deep pectoral and triceps brachii were heavier (P less than .05) in steer carcasses than in heifer carcasses. No other significant sex effects were noted. Percentage of muscle tended to decrease with increasing marbling level; however, the linear regression of relative muscle weight on marbling level was significant for the BF, DP, PM, SM, SU and TB. Using marbling score or yield grade factors to predict the percentage of individual muscles in the carcass resulted in R/ values greater than .4 in 7 of the 15 muscles evaluated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
This paper presents an algorithm JITTER, that aims to eliminate any unnecessary work done whilst incrementally building decision trees. In particular, we illustrate how high levels of noise can greatly affect the efficiency of induction and how a straightforward approach can ameliorate these effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
