introduction: successful interaction between people requires motivation and social influence. therefore, the purpose of the present research was to study the relationship between the 11 indices of social influence of heads of departments from the viewpoint of faculty members at isfahan university of medical sciences and its relation with demographic characteristics in academic year of 2008-2009...

This paper concerns the random fluctuation theory of a one dimensional elliptic equation with highly oscillatory random coefficient. Theoretical studies show that the rescaled random corrector converges in distribution to a stochastic integral with respect to Brownian motion when the random coefficient has short-range correlation. When the random coefficient has long range correlation, it was s...

The spatial relationship, or degree of colocalization, between two or more types of molecules in live cells is commonly detected using fluorescence microscopy. This spatial distribution can be used to estimate the interaction between fluorescently labelled molecules. These interactions are usually quantified by analysing the correlation and/or the overlap between images, using the Pearson's and...

Previous attempts at defining other correlation measures mostly tried to generalize the inner product definition used in Pearson’s correlation coefficient. This does allow for certain useful correlations, like the Greatest Deviation, or Gini’s. In this work the idea in Gideon and Hollister (1987) of seeing correlation as the difference between distance from perfect negative and perfect positive...

The ability of mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) monitoring to reflect changes in cardiac index (CI) with therapy in critically ill patients is unclear. To this end, SvO2 and CI were measured before and during an infusion of enoximone and/or dobutamine in 30 patients with advanced heart failure. A nonlinear relationship was observed between SvO2 and CI with the nonlinear correlation coeffic...

Spatial correlation modeling comprises both spatial autocorrelation and spatial cross-correlation processes. The spatial autocorrelation theory has been well-developed. It is necessary to advance the method of spatial cross-correlation analysis to supplement the autocorrelation analysis. This paper presents a set of models and analytical procedures for spatial cross-correlation analysis. By ana...

GLh(n) × GLh′(m)-covariant (hh)-bosonic (or (hh)-fermionic) algebras Ahh′±(n,m) are built in terms of the corresponding Rh and Rh′-matrices by contracting the GLq(n) × GLq±1(m)-covariant q-bosonic (or q-fermionic) algebras A q± (n,m), α = 1, 2. When using a basis of A q± (n,m) wherein the annihilation operators are contragredient to the creation ones, this contraction procedure can be carried o...
