Recent research in deep Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) faces the challenges of vanishing/exploding gradient issues, training instability, and feature redundancy.Orthogonality Regularization(OR), which introduces a penalty function considering the orthogonality of neural networks, could be a remedy to these challenges but is surprisingly not pop
Abstract Background The decision on whether to operate on a sick elderly person with an intra-abdominal emergency is one of the most difficult in general surgery.A predictive risk-score would be of great value in this situation.Methods A Medline search was performed to identify those predictive risk-scores relevant to sick elderly patients in whom
Abstract Introduction Tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes are involved in 1979-1993 a complex network of intra- and extracellular components that ultimately result in uncontrolled cell reproduction or apoptosis.Multiple pathways of stimulation and inhibition converge, and it can be difficult for students to comprehend how all these inputs influenc
We describe three new NUTRI SEA HP species of the Neotropical ant genus Leptanilloides: L.gracilis sp.n.based on workers from Mexico and Guatemala, L.erinys sp.n.based on workers and a gyne from Ecuador, and L.femoralis sp.n.based on workers from Venezuela.The description of L.gracilis is a northern extension of the known range of the genus, now nu
