Sport-related muscle injury classifications are based basically on imaging criteria such as ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without consensus because of a lack of clinical prognostics for return-to-play (RTP), which is conditioned upon the severity of the injury, and this in turn with the muscle gap (muscular fibers retraction). Recently, Futbol Club Barcelona's medical dep...

Nine burials excavated from the Magdalen Hill Archaeological Research Project (MHARP) in Winchester, UK, showing skeletal signs of lepromatous leprosy (LL) have been studied using a multidisciplinary approach including osteological, geochemical and biomolecular techniques. DNA from Mycobacterium leprae was amplified from all nine skeletons but not from control skeletons devoid of indicative pat...

We consider processing an n× d matrix A in a stream with row-wise updates according to a recent algorithm called Frequent Directions (Liberty, KDD 2013). This algorithm maintains an l× d matrix Q deterministically, processing each row in O(dl) time; the processing time can be decreased to O(dl) with a slight modification in the algorithm and a constant increase in space. Then for any unit vecto...

The adsorption sites of CO on the reduced RuO2(110) surface were determined by employing the techniques of density-functional theory calculations and quantitative low-energy electron diffraction. On the mildly reduced RuO2(110) surface, where the bridging oxygens are removed, twofold ~2f! undercoordinated Ru atoms @2fcoordinatively unsaturated site ~cus! Ru# are exposed. On this surface, the CO...

A regulated splicing event in protein 4.1R pre-mRNA-the inclusion of exon 16-encoding peptides for spectrin-actin binding-occurs in late erythroid differentiation. We defined the functional significance of an intronic splicing enhancer, UGCAUG, and its cognate splicing factor, mFox2A, on exon 16 splicing during differentiation. UGCAUG displays cell-type-specific splicing regulation in a test ne...

White-light generation has been used widely in single-shot f-to-2f interferometers for stabilizing the carrier-envelope (CE) phase of laser amplifiers. The accuracy of the relative phase values measured by such an interferometer is affected by fluctuations in the laser pulse energy. A simple two-step model is proposed to explain the mechanism that couples the laser energy and the CE phase. The ...

The study reports the structural and spectroscopic properties of Nd3+ doped lead metatantalate phosphor series fabricated by conventional solid state method. XRD results PbTa2O6 phase confirm tungsten bronze symmetry single-phase structure between 0.5 10 mol% concentrations. decrease in can be associated with maintaining charge balance single due to evaporation during sintering. In SEM microgra...

We begin by considering the one-dimensional analogue of Kac's question: a vibrating string of length L. Idealize this string by the interval [0,L] and represent the possible configuration of the vibrating string as a function f(x,t) defined for x (the position variable) in [0,L] and any non-negative number t (the time variable). Since the endpoints are fixed, f must satisfy the boundary conditi...

The Hyers-Ulam stability, the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability, and also the stability in the spirit of Gǎvru̧ta for each of the following quadratic functional equations f(x+y)+ f(x−y) = 2f(x)+ 2f(y), f(x+y + z)+ f(x−y)+ f(y − z)+ f(z−x) = 3f(x)+3f(y)+3f(z), f (x+y+z)+f(x)+f(y)+f(z)= f(x+y)+f(y+z)+f(z+x) are investigated. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.
