The Galactic Disk Mass Function: Reconciliation of the [ITAL]Hubble Space Telescope[/ITAL] and Nearby Determinations
We derive and parametrize the Galactic mass function (MF) below 1 $\msol$ characteristic of both single objects and binary systems. We resolve the long standing discrepancy betw...

Selection of Relevant Features in Machine Learning.
In this paper, we review the problem of selecting relevant features for use in machine learning.We describe this problem in terms of heuristic search through a space of feature ...
Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation measurements
Here, we derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwa...
The Influence of Hospital Volume on Survival after Resection for Lung Cancer
Patients who undergo resection for lung cancer at hospitals that perform large numbers of such procedures are likely to survive longer than patients who have such surgery at hos...
Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity With a 6-Minute Walk Test in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
<h3>Objective.</h3> —To study the potential usefulness of the 6-minute walk test, a self-paced submaximal exercise test, as a prognostic indicator in patients with left ventricu...

Computational intelligence is an emerging field in computer science which combines fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms for a flexible yet powerful approach to s...
Simplified Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System
Objectives To validate a simplified version of the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System, the TISS-28, and to determine the association of TISS-28 with the time spent on score...
The mesenchymal cell, its role in the embryo, and the remarkable signaling mechanisms that create it
Abstract This review centers on the role of the mesenchymal cell in development. The creation of this cell is a remarkable process, one where a tightly knit, impervious epitheli...
Maternal Attachment
Abstract To determine whether present hospital practices may affect later maternal behavior, we placed 28 primiparous women in two study groups shortly after delivery of normal ...
