Abstract This study aimed to investigate the properties of heat-induced gels (85 °C for 30 min) quinoa protein isolate (QPI) in presence and absence various polysaccharides including guar gum (GG), locust bean (LBG), xanthan (XG) at pH 7. For this purpose, samples with three concentrations (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 wt%) a fixed QPI concentration (10 ionic strength (50 mM NaCl) were studied terms their ge...

We present the UDF05 project, a HST Large Program of deep ACS (F606W, F775W, F850LP) and NICMOS (F110W, F160W) imaging of three fields, two of which coincide with the NICP1-4 NICMOS parallel observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). In this first paper we use the ACS data for the NICP12 field, as well as the original HUDF ACS data, to measure the UV Luminosity Function (LF) of z ∼ 5 L...

We detect three robust (plus one less certain) z850-dropout sources in two separate fields (HUDF and NICP34) of our UDF05 HST NICMOS images. These z ∼ 7 Lyman-Break Galaxy (LBG) candidates allow us to constrain the Luminosity Function (LF) of the star forming galaxy population at those epochs. By assuming a change in only M∗ and adopting a linear evolution in redshift, anchored to the measured ...

Signal compression is essential for applications which require the minimization of the storage and/or transmission requirements, such as multimedia communications, integrated services digital networks (ISDN), web browsing, voice response systems, cellular telephony, storage of medical images, archiving of fingerprints, and transmission of remote sensing images obtained from satellites. Vector q...

A p-adic modification of the split-LBG classification method is presented in which first clusterings and then cluster centers are computed which locally minimise an energy function. The outcome for a fixed dataset is independent of the prime number p with finitely many exceptions. The methods are applied to the construction of p-adic classifiers in the context of learning.

This paper describes the automatic construction of the acoustic inventory for the purpose of development of the speech synthesis system for the Polish language. Very efficient algorithm of speech segmentation is proposed, also original process of reduction is described. Results of classification using LBG algorithm and brief description of created inventory are presented.

The number density and clustering properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) are consistent with them being the central galaxies of the most massive dark halos present at z ∼ 3. This conclusion holds in all currently popular hierarchical models for structure formation, and is almost independent of the global cosmological parameters. We examine whether the sizes, luminosities, kinematics and star...
