Copulas [18] link univariate marginal distribution functions into a joint distribution function of the corresponding random vector. In this paper we will deal with bivariate copulas only. Recall that a function C : [0, 1] → [0, 1] is a (bivariate) copula whenever it is grounded, C(x, y) = 0 whenever 0 ∈ {x, y}, it has neutral element 1, C(x, y) = x∧y, whenever 1 ∈ {x, y} and it is 2-increasing,...

The; tendency of the regimental contractors to supply repeatedly the above vegetables in summer when other vegetables are scarce and costly is well known. This enquiry was undertaken to judge the vitamin C value of the above vegetables and to ascertain whether the quantities issued as rations were adequate. The scope of the experiments was limited to determining the antiscorbutic properties of ...

I . The variability in the purchase and consumption of vitamin C in the diet of people living in the United Kingdom has been studied using the Annual Reports of the National Food Survey Committee and new observations gathered independently. 2. The sources of variability examined have been family household composition, social class, seasonal and week-to-week sampling variation. 3. The distributi...

Ras-mediated vulval development in C. elegans is inhibited by the functionally redundant sets of class A, B, and C synthetic Multivulva (synMuv) genes. Three of the class B synMuv genes encode an Rb/DP/E2F complex that, by analogy with its mammalian and Drosophila counterparts, has been proposed to silence genes required for vulval specification through chromatin modification and remodeling. Tw...

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient maintaining the state of well being of individuals. This study examined factors affecting and the blood vitamin C levels of motorized tricycle drivers in Parañaque City, Philippines. Consenting drivers (N=49) were included in the study and were assessed through self-administered questionnaires, 24-h food recalls, and anthropometric measurements and on the...

Consider a class C of hyperedge--replacement graph grammars and a numeric function on graphs like the number of edges, the degree (i.e., the maximum of the degrees of all nodes of a graph), the number of simple paths, the size of a maximum set of independent nodes, etc. Each such function induces a Boundedness Problem for the class C: Given a grammar HRG in C, are the function values of all gra...

Site-directed mutagenesis of Ser-289 of the class C beta-lactamase from Enterobacter cloacae P99 was performed to investigate the role of this residue in beta-lactam hydrolysis. This amino acid lies near the active site of the enzyme, where it can interact with the C-3 substituent of cephalosporins. Kinetic analysis of six mutant beta-lactamases with five cephalosporins showed that Ser-289 can ...

Introdouction: Impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to asses...
