ACNet is introduced, a novel differentiable neural network architecture that enforces structural properties and enables one to learn an important class of copulas--Archimedean Copulas.

The results of the present investigation suggest that the "DIVA" control strategy may represent a tool for the control of avian influenza infections in poultry.

A thin Si pedestal layer between microdisk and oxide increases the thermal conductivity dramatically, while Q is preserved, enabling higher field intensities in nonlinear-optical applications.

Identification of the exact rpoB polymorphism leading to the diagnosis of RR-TB has the potential to allow inclusion of rifabutin in the treatment regimen of a substantial proportion ofRR-TB patients.

The intense interest in infants displayed by juveniles of both sexes is not surprising in the context of a cooperative breeding system in which both sexes participate in caring for infants that are not their own and in which experience with infants improves later reproductive success.

Much debate exists around the impact that illegal file sharing may have on the creative industries. Similarly, opinions differ regarding whether the producers of artistic works should be forced to accept any weakening of intellectual property rights resulting from illegal file sharing, or if governments should intervene to protect these rights. This chapter seeks to inform these questions by outlining what we do and do not know from existing academic research. We first discuss whether file sharing displaces sales of media goods and then discuss whether such displacement will lead to reduced in...

In patients with lung cancer and bone lesions, 99mTc-depreotide scintigraphy uptake in the bone lesions supports the diagnosis of malignancy, in particular if the primary lung tumour also exhibits SSTRs.

A pilot-scale experiment with a treating3capacity of 10 m per day was carried out for swine wastewater treatment by using of a moving bed biofilmreactor (MBBR). The reactor was start-up in 60 days period and run for a year, and an average removal rate of 82.9%for COD and 89.0% for ammonia were achieved, under a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12h, with influent COD and ammonia of 1686 ¡À 497 mg/L and 582 ¡À 126 mg/L, respectively. The effluent met the national discharge standard of pollutants for livestock and poultry breeding(GB 18596-2001) of China. The kinetics of organic carbon and ammon...

Preservation design is characterized by high interactions among different skills, including both architectural and engineering field. When the architectural heritage is composed of the ruins of a medieval fortress, the contribution of archeological studies is fundamental to recognize the different construction phases of the building. This work presents the most recent stratigraphic analyses conducted on the fortress of Vogogna, a military masonry castle in Ossola Valley, Piedmont, whose origin is lost in time and provides further support to define the correct interpretation of the architectura...
