BACKGROUND & AIMS An elevated transferrin saturation is the earliest phenotypic abnormality in hereditary hemochromatosis. Determination of transferrin saturation remains the most useful noninvasive screening test for affected individuals, but there is debate as to the appropriate screening level. The aims of this study were to estimate the mean transferrin saturation in hemochromatosis heteroz...

The idea of partons and the utility of using light-cone gauge in QCD are introduced. Saturation of quark and gluon distributions are discussed using simple models and in a more general context. The Golec-Biernat Wüsthoff model and some simple phenomenology are described. A simple, but realistic , equation for unitarity, the Kovchegov equation, is discussed, and an elementary derivation of the J...

Two psychophysical experiments were conducted at North Carolina State University (NCSU) and Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to obtain replicated perceived saturation data from color normal observers on the order of one unit of saturation. The same 37 Munsell sample sheets, including up to four references that had similar perceived saturation but different hue, were used in both experime...

Of the three basic color perceptions, hue, brightness, and colorfulness, hue has no relative version, but brightness has lightness, and colorfulness has chroma and saturation. Correlates of chroma are widely used in color difference formulae, but saturation currently plays little part in color science and technology. This is perhaps because in many industries flat samples are viewed in uniform ...

A graph H is Ks-saturated if it is a maximal Ks-free graph, i.e., H contains no clique on s vertices, but the addition of any missing edge creates one. The minimum number of edges in a Ks-saturated graph was determined over 50 years ago by Zykov and independently by Erdős, Hajnal and Moon. In this paper, we study the random analog of this problem: minimizing the number of edges in a maximal Ks-...

The purpose of this exposition 1 is to give a simple and complete treatment of Knutson and Tao's recent proof of the saturation conjecture [8]. If λ is a partition of length at most n, let V λ denote the corresponding highest weight representation of GL n (C). Define This set is important in numerous areas besides representation theory. In Schubert calculus it describes when an intersection of ...

For different models of the electron-phonon interaction, the asymptotic behaviour of the moments of the stationary homogeneous solution of the linear Boltzmann equation is determined in the limit of a high external field. For Hilbert-Schmidt kernels of a finite rank, a result recently proven for kernels of rank one is found generally valid; as a consequence velocity saturation is excluded for t...

estimation of reservoir water saturation (sw) is one of the main tasks in well logging. many empirical equations are available, which are, more or less, based on archie equation. the present study is an application of radial basis function neural network (rbfnn) modeling for estimation of water saturation responses in a carbonate reservoir. four conventional petrophysical logs (pls) including d...

inverse problem is one of the most important problems in geophysics as model parameters can be estimated from the measured data directly using inverse techniques. in this paper, applying different inverse methods on integration of s-wave and gpr velocities are investigated for estimation of porosity and water saturation. a combination of linear and nonlinear inverse problems are solved. linear ...

a major hurdle in pharmaceutical formulation is water insolubility of most of drugs affecting their stability and bioavailability. if the drug is also insoluble in organic medium, it is difficult to deliver it in a sufficiently bioavailable form and hence it is a great challenge to formulation researchers to overcome such difficulty. although some approaches are available for enhancing the diss...
