A binary image I is Ba, Wb-connected, where a,b 2 {4,8}, if its foreground is a-connected and its background is b-connected. We consider a local modification of a Ba, Wb-connected image I in which a black pixel can be interchanged with an adjacent white pixel provided that this preserves the connectivity of both the foreground and the background of I. We have shown that for any (a,b) 2 {(4,8), ...

Amino acid sequence analysis of a b4 light chain from a rabbit homogeneous antistreptococcal antibody revealed the presence of two amino acid substitutions in the constant region not previously reported for these positions. These interchanges, consisting of serine for alanine at position 121 and leucine for glutamine at position 124, were also present in about 30% of the pooled b4 light chains ...

Two general classes of multiple decision functions, where each member of the first class strongly controls the family-wise error rate (FWER), while each member of the second class strongly controls the false discovery rate (FDR), are described. These classes offer the possibility that optimal multiple decision functions with respect to a pre-specified Type II error criterion, such as the missed...

In phase II platform trials, 'many-to-one' comparisons are performed when K experimental treatments are compared with a common control to identify the most promising treatment(s) to be selected for Phase III trials. However, when sample sizes are limited, such as when the disease of interest is rare, only a single Phase II/III trial addressing both treatment selection and confirmatory efficacy ...

Gene expression microarrays have been the vanguard of new analytic approaches in high-dimensional biology. Draft sequences of several genomes coupled with new technologies allow study of the influences and responses of entire genomes rather than isolated genes. This has opened a new realm of highly dimensional biology where questions involve multiplicity at unprecedented scales: thousands of ge...

A binary image I is Ba,Wb-connected, where a, b ∈ {4, 8}, if its foreground is a-connected and its background is b-connected. We consider a local modification of a Ba,Wb-connected image I in which a black pixel can be interchanged with an adjacent white pixel provided that this preserves the connectivity of both the foreground and the background of I. We have shown that for any (a, b) ∈ {(4, 8)...

– This paper presents a data stationary architecture in which each word has an attached address field. Address fields massively update in parallel to record data interchanges. Words do not move until memory is read for post processing. A sea of such cells can test large-scale quantum algorithms, although other programming is possible. 1. INTRODUCTION Quantum algorithms are better than classical...

geographical situation of gilan province, its weather and suitable conditions for agriculture, plus its neighboring with russia, have prepared the way for cultural, political and economical relations and interchanges between iran and russia. being called “the gate of europe”, the province also receives many tourists from many countries, especially russia. many of these tourists have recorded de...
