Abstract: A non-causal dependency in a machine learning model can bias the performance of the machine learning model. Systems and methods for detecting non-causal dependencies in machine learning models are provided. According to an embodiment, a method includes generating a plurality of data samples from a particular data sample, the plurality of data samples including a modified data sample that differs from the particular data sample by non-causal data, the non-causal data having a non-causal relationship to the output of a machine learning model. The method also includes generating a plurality of results by inputting the plurality of data samples into the machine learning model. The method further includes determining, based on a comparison of the plurality of results, if the machine learning model is dependent on the non-causal data.

Abstract: Soluble and stable liquid compositions containing a plant growth regulator selected from the group consisting of cytokinin and a gibberellin, an acid solubilizer such as citric acid, tartaric acid or glycolic acid and a solvent; as well as methods for making and using the composition are disclosed. The compositions improve solubility, handling, stability, safety, as well as activity improvements such as improved plant growth, yield, fruit thinning or sizing and quality. The compositions are soluble and stable by adding an ethoxylated alkyl alcohol wherein the growth regulator is 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and the ethoxylated alcohol surfactant is C12-15 alkyl alcohol in propylene glycol. The compositions may also contain a cytokinin such as 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) or forchlorfenuron (CPPU) that is increased in solubility and activity and by synergistically combined with GA3 or GA4A7 as well as in storage stability by adding an antioxidant.

Abstract: A system and method for providing digital media content involves use of custom URIs, disguised as URLs, provided as media enclosures in an RSS feed, for the purpose of redirecting requests for digital media content from a customer computer to an intermediate transaction server. The transaction server intercepts the custom URI containing customer, item, price and/or other relevant information to translate the file request into a transaction record and serve up the appropriate file, possibly from a remote merchant site, for the request and customer. When the transaction server receives a request for the custom URI, it parses it according to pre-defined rules and serves the appropriate file to the requester and records the transaction. This approach can be used to aggregate small transactions of digital content. Customers have a revolving account with the transaction server and can aggregate purchases from multiple merchants via RSS delivery up to preset limits.

Abstract: A butt-joint connection structure for joining two logs end-to-end in a log wall includes a first log having a first end face and a second log having a second end face for abutting the first end face and forming a seam therebetween, each log having a log height extending between top and bottom surfaces thereof, and a spline slot extending horizontally across the seam between a first closed edge in the first log and a second closed edge in the second log. The spline slot extends vertically through the log height of the first and second logs, and has generally planar, spaced apart inner and outer slot faces extending between the first and second closed edges. A spline is provided in the spline slot, the spline having a width spanning the seam and a first spline face in generally flush engagement with a respective one of the inner and outer slot faces.

Abstract: A support structure for a log wall includes a plurality of logs extending horizontally in an axial direction and stacked vertically to form a wall, vertically adjacent ones of the plurality of logs having generally aligned end faces defining an edge surface of the wall; and a plurality of connectors positioned within the wall adjacent the edge surface and extending between vertically adjacent pairs of the plurality of logs, each pair of logs including a respective lower log and upper log generally situated on top of the lower log, each connector having a connector body with a lower and an upper log engagement portion, each lower log engagement portion engaging the respective lower log, and each upper log engagement portion engaging the respective upper log.
