I. Introduction: Multivariate Statistical Analyses comprise a number of statistical methods/tools that may be applied to several fields of empirical investigations. Most of these methods have three characteristics in common: (i) they presume availability of data set, say Z(nxk) (in n observations and k variables; k ≥ 2, n>k), collected from the field (observationally or experimentally); (ii) th...

A code is said to be a Locally Recoverable Code (LRC) with availability if every coordinate can be recovered from multiple disjoint sets of other coordinates called recovering sets. The vector of sizes of recovering sets of a coordinate is called its recovery profile. In this work, we consider LRCs with availability under two different settings: (1) irregular recovery: non-constant recovery pro...

Cannibalism, which functions as a life history trait in at least 1,300 species of both invertebrates and vertebrates, plays important ecological and evolutionary roles in populations. During times of low resource availability, cannibalism of juveniles by adults can redirect reproductive energy to times of higher resource availability. For example, prolonged increases in sea surface temperature ...

This paper addresses the problem of H∞ filter design for discrete-time Markov jump linear systems (MJLS) with transition probability matrix affected by uncertainties. The proposed methodology allows to take into account the different types of uncertainties usually adopted in MJLS in a systematic way. New conditions are given for H∞ filter design with partial, complete or null Markov mode availa...

The biological community is now awash in high-throughput data sets and is grappling with the challenge of integrating disparate data sets. Such integration has taken the form of statistical analysis of large data sets, or through the bottom-up reconstruction of reaction networks. While progress has been made with statistical and structural methods, large-scale systems have remained refractory t...

As an archive of sequence data for over 165,000 species, GenBank is an indispensable resource for phylogenetic inference. Here we describe an informatics processing pipeline and online database, the PhyLoTA Browser (http://loco.biosci.arizona.edu/pb), which offers a view of GenBank tailored for molecular phylogenetics. The first release of the Browser is computed from 2.6 million sequences repr...

let and be a sequence with non-negative entries. if , denote by the infimum of those satisfying the following inequality: whenever . the purpose of this paper is to give an upper bound for the norm of operator t on weighted sequence spaces d(w,p) and lp(w) and also e(w,?). we considered this problem for certain matrix operators such as norlund, weighted mean, ceasaro and copson matrices. th...

Matrix Metalloproteinase are family of enzymes responsible for degradation of extracellular matrix. MMP9 (gelatinase B) is one of the common matrix metalloproteinase that is associated with tissue destruction in a number of disease states such as rheumatoid arthiritis, fibrotic lung disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as cancer invasion and metastasis. Recent study demonstrates that increa...
