Consider a random walk on the mapping class group, and let wn be the location of the random walk at time n. A random Heegaard splitting M(wn) is a 3-manifold obtained by using wn as the gluing map between two handlebodies. We show that the joint distribution of (wn, w −1 n ) is asymptotically independent, and converges to the product of the harmonic and reflected harmonic measures defined by th...

We perform a NNLO (and a LO) global parton analysis in which we include the new precise data for deep inelastic scattering from HERA and for inclusive jet production at the Tevatron, together with the improved knowledge of the three-loop splitting functions. The results are compared with our recent NLO analyses. The LO fit produces significantly worse results in general, but gives a surprisingl...

Binaural dichotic presentation schemes help in increasing the intelligibility of speech for persons with moderate bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment. Spectral splitting, with comb filters has helped in improving the perception of place feature. Temporal splitting, using trapezoidal fading functions, provided improvement in the perception of duration feature. Splitting of speech using ti...

Several preconditioners are proposed for improving the convergence rate of the iterative method derived from splitting. In this paper, the comparison theorem of preconditioned iterative method for regular splitting is proved. And the convergence and comparison theorem for any preconditioner are indicated. This comparison theorem indicates the possibility of finding new preconditioner and splitt...

In this paper, we study the iterative algorithms for saddle point problems(SPP). Bai, Golub and Pan recently studied a class of preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods(PHSS). By further accelerating it with another parameters, using the Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting iteration technique we present the generalized preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting me...

Treatment of fragmented preparations of sarcoplasmic reticulum with diethyl ether decreases the calcium uptake capacity of reticulum, while the ATP-binding capacity as well as the ATP-splitting activity of reticulum were increased. Diethyl ether-treated reticulum preparations retained both the “basal” and the “extra” splitting activities of Hasselbach and Makinose, although the latter activity ...

We investigate some aspects of bounding, splitting, and almost disjointness. In particular, we investigate the relationship between the bounding number, the closed almost disjointness number, splitting number, and the existence of certain kinds of splitting families.

The one-dimensional (2)H double quantum filtered (DQF) spectroscopic imaging technique was used to study the orientation of collagen fibers in articular cartilage. The method detects only water molecules in anisotropic environments, which in cartilage is caused by their interaction with the collagen fibers. A large quadrupolar splitting was observed in the calcified zone and a smaller splitting...

Splitting of compound Telugu words into its components or root words is one of the important, tedious and yet inaccurate tasks of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Except in few special cases, at least one vowel is necessarily involved in Telugu conjunctions. In the result, vowels are often repeated as they are or are converted into other vowels or consonants. This paper describes issues invol...
