Taking into account the recent measurements of the branching ratios and CP asymmetries in the B → ππ decays by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations, an amplitude analysis based on the isospin symmetry is reported. These data allow to get an independent determination of the CKM unitarity-triangle angle γ. One of the best-fit solutions gives the range γ = (65 ± 5) • , in excellent agreement with th...

in this paper, a novel patch geodesic derivative pattern (pgdp) describing the texture map of a face through its shape data is proposed. geodesic adjusted textures are encoded into derivative patterns for similarity measurement between two 3d images with different pose and expression variations. an extensive experimental investigation is conducted using the publicly available bosphorus and bu-3...

tropicamide is an antimuscarinic agent used as eye drops for refractive examinations. the aim of this study was to develop a simple and suitable analytical method for determination of tropicamide in eye drops in the presence of excipients. a zero-crossing third and fourth derivative spectrophotometric method was described for determination of tropicamide in eye drops. the measurements were carr...

When Newton’s method is applied to find the maximal symmetric solution of a discrete algebraic Riccati equation (DARE), convergence can be guaranteed under moderate conditions. In particular, the initial guess does not need to be close to the solution. The convergence is quadratic if the Fréchet derivative is invertible at the solution. When the closed-loop matrix has eigenvalues on the unit ci...

We introduce a new method for detecting differences in the latency of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) responses to brief events within the context of the General Linear Model. Using a first-order Taylor approximation in terms of the temporal derivative of a canonical hemodynamic response function, statistical parametric maps of differential latencies were estimated via the ratio of der...

in this paper, the sinc collocation method is proposed for solving linear and nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations based on the new definition of fractional derivative which is recently presented by khalil, r., al horani, m., yousef, a. and sababeh, m. in a new definition of fractional derivative, j. comput. appl. math. 264 (2014), 65{70. the properties of sinc functions are ...
