The congruence coefficient was first introduced by Burt (1948) under the name of unadjusted correlation as a measure of the similarity of two factorial configurations. The name congruence coefficient was later tailored by Tucker (1951, see also Harman, 1976). The congruence coefficient is also sometimes called a monotonicity coefficient (Borg & Groenen, 1997, p. 203). The congruence coefficient...

this research deals with the concept of uniqueness in creativity as one of the artist's concerns and her personal features differentiates her from her peers in literary approach and critical view horizon based on her learned knowledge and literature.the reflection of such concept can be found in the book teyf-e- al-khialwritten by sharif al-murtazain both poetry and its criticism. the poet...

AIM To examine the in-vitro transport route of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) across porcine buccal mucosa and to investigate the effects of drug concentration, pH in donor chamber, and 1-octanol/buffer partition coefficient on transbuccal permeation. METHODS In-vitro permeation of TMP through porcine buccal mucosa was studied by using in-line flow through diffusion cells at 37 . The permeability ...

Abstract: Bivariate (or pairwise) information measures such as mutual information or correlation are heavily used in variable selection and network inference algorithms mainly because they are faster and require fewer samples than multivariate (or multidimensional) strategies. This paper proposes a new relevance measure that aims at improving the detection of relevant variables based on pairwis...

The actions of clinical concentrations of volatile anaesthetic halothane and isoflurane were compared with those of pentobarbitone on identified neurons of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Application of halothane and isoflurane (1% v/v and 2% v/v), to the CNS of Lymnaea caused the strongly electrically coupled neurons VD1 and RPD2 to become quiescent, with a significant increase in membrane p...

The concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient of particles suspended in solution depends primarily on the occupied volume fraction and on repulsive and attractive forces. This dependency is expressed by the interaction parameter, which can be assessed experimentally by light scattering measurements and have been determined for the diffusion coefficient of BSA under different salt co...

T-wave alternans (TWA), an electrophysiologic phenomenon which manifests as an everyother-beat alternation of the electrocardiographic (ECG) T-wave amplitude or shape, is generally associated to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. TWA is usually identified with no adjustment for T-wave amplitude. However, a possible dependency of TWA on T-wave amplitude has been recently...
