Proton Transfer, Acid‐Base Catalysis, and Enzymatic Hydrolysis. Part I: ELEMENTARY PROCESSES
Abstract The proton occupies a special position as a promoter and mediator in chemical reactions occurring in solution. Many reactions in organic chemistry are catalysed by acid...
Gene-Expression Profiles in Hereditary Breast Cancer
Significantly different groups of genes are expressed by breast cancers with BRCA1 mutations and breast cancers with BRCA2 mutations. Our results suggest that a heritable mutati...
Parallel networks that learn to pronounce English text
This paper describes NETtalk, a class of massively-parallel network systems that learn to convert English text to speech. The memory representations for pronunciations are learn...
Computer Simulation of Molecular Dynamics: Methodology, Applications, and Perspectives in Chemistry
Abstract During recent decades it has become feasible to simulate the dynamics of molecular systems on a computer. The method of molecular dynamics (MD) solves Newton's equation...
Hill shading and the reflectance map
Abstract-Shaded overlays for maps give the user an immediate appreciation for the surface topography since they appeal to an important visual depth cue. A brief review of the hi...
The Heritability of Bipolar Affective Disorder and the Genetic Relationship to Unipolar Depression
As defined by the DSM-IV, BPD is highly heritable. There are substantial genetic and nonshared environmental correlations between mania and depression, but most of the genetic v...
Multiple Rare Alleles Contribute to Low Plasma Levels of HDL Cholesterol
Heritable variation in complex traits is generally considered to be conferred by common DNA sequence polymorphisms. We tested whether rare DNA sequence variants collectively con...
On Interests and their Transformation: Enrolment and Counter-Enrolment
A way of treating interests which differs from those of both Woolgar and Barnes is here recommended. This third `enrolment' or `networking' theory approach notes that actors att...
Teaching thinking skills.
A course was developed to teach cognitive skills that apply to learning and intellectual performance independently of subject matter, stressing observation and classification, r...
Systems of Monomolecular Layers—Assembling and Physico‐Chemical Behavior
Abstract Systems of monomolecular layers can form functional units having properties not exhibited by the individual layers. On UV irradiation, for example, an energy transfer t...
Lattice-based optimization of sequence classification criteria for neural-network acoustic modeling
Acoustic models used in hidden Markov model/neural-network (HMM/NN) speech recognition systems are usually trained with a frame-based cross-entropy error criterion. In contrast,...
