Online handwriting recognition of Arabic script is a difficult problem since it is naturally both cursive and unconstrained. The analysis of Arabic script is further complicated due to obligatory dots/stokes that are placed above or below most letters and usually written delayed in order. In addition, Arabic language is rich in morphology and syntax which makes it a must for a good online handw...

Thermodynamic properties of Nd–Bi and Nd–Sn alloys were determined via electromotive force (emf) measurements at 725–1075 K. The emf an alloy mole fraction xNd = 0.20 conducted using a solid CaF2–NdF3 electrolyte relative to pure Nd(s). values from the verified in separate experiments molten LiCl–KCl–NdCl3 where Nd(s) was electrodeposited. (xNd 0.20) exhibited two?phase behavior with peritectic...

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of AAS may influence the hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (H-P-G) axis, which can in turn affect the testicular apoptosis. Ho...

UNLABELLED For noninvasive monitoring of cellular status by dual reporters, a dual membrane protein reporter system was developed and its in vivo applicability was examined. Human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) and mutant dopamine D(2) receptor (D(2)R) transgenes were chosen considering their complementarity. METHODS pIRES-hNIS/D(2)R containing NIS and D(2)R linked with an internal ribosomal ...

A oterie is a family of subsets su h that every pair of subsets has at least one element in ommon but neither is a subset of the other. A oterie C is said to be non-dominated (ND) if there is no other oterie D su h that, for 8Q 2 C, there exists Q0 2 D satisfying Q0 Q. We introdu e an operator , whi h transforms a ND oterie to another ND oterie. A regular oterie is a natural generalization of a...
