When using Bayesian networks for modelling the behavior of man-made machinery, it usu­ ally happens that a large part of the model is deterministic. For such Bayesian networks the deterministic part of the model can be represented as a Boolean function, and a cen­ tral part of belief updating reduces to the task of calculating the number of satisfying configurations in a Boolean function. In th...

The study grains to explore ethno-medicobotany of Badaga population in the Nilgiri hills of Tamilnadu, South India. Ethno botanical field survey and personal discussion methods have been adopted in the collection of data. A list of 71 flowering plants belonging to 42 families, 67 genera and 70 species are employed by the Badaga popu-lation in their native system of medicine for therapeutic purp...

Griffiths ( 13) has presented evidence in(licating that the browning reactions of banana fruit result from the enzymic oxi(lation of (lopamiiine (3.4 (lih-droxyphenylethylaminei) hy pIolyphenoloxi(lase. Althoughi (lopamine does occur in various fruits andl vegetables (23), it has not previously b)een imiplicated as an important substrate in browning reactions. The present investigation was unde...

The following full text is a preprint version which may differ from the publisher's version. Abstract: We study the critical probability p c (M) in two-dimensional M-adic fractal percolation. To find lower bounds, we compare fractal perco-lation with site percolation. Fundamentally new is the construction of an computable increasing sequence that converges to p c (M). We prove that p c (2) > 0....

Residuals are frequently used as a diagnostic tool for verification that a time series model fits to data. In the cases when the series is nonnormal and/or the model is nonlinear, the squared residuals and squared values of the series are taken into account. In our paper asymptotic formulas for the mean value and variance of the corresponding sample corre­ lation functions are calculated. Small...

17 This paper presents a method for using reset control as an alter18 native way of obtaining dissipation for a class of port19 Hamiltonian systems. One advantage of this approach is the sim20 plicity of its implementation, which requires only a velocity ob21 server. Another advantage is its robustness to modeling 22 uncertainties, since it can be calculated independently of the plant 23 struct...

peaked positive chronotropic responses, i.e., rapidly induced initial acceleration followed by slowly induced but long-lasting one. The initial positive response to caffeine was hardly suppressd by either adrenergic beta-blocking agents, H 56/28 (alprenolol) and propranolol, or tetrodotoxin. On the contrary, the secondary positive chronotropic response was effectively inhibited by either adrene...
