Preventing ice crystallization by transforming liquids into an amorphous state, vitrification can be considered as the most suitable technique allowing complex tissues, and organs cryopreservation. This process requires the use of rapid cooling rates in the presence of cryoprotective solutions highly concentrated in antifreeze compounds, such as polyalcohols. Many of them have already been inte...

Let G = (V,E) be a connected graph. G is said to be super edge connected (or super-k for short) if every minimum edge cut of G isolates one of the vertex of G. A graph G is called m-super-k if for any edge set S # E(G) with jSj 6m, G S is still super-k. The maximum cardinality of m-super-k is called the edge fault tolerance of super edge connectivity of G. In this paper, we discuss the edge fau...

This paper aims to make the super-resolution of a high-resolution image from a sequence of low-resolution frames containing non-stationary objects. The challenges of making super-resolution image, like unavoidable smoothing effects, introduction of artifacts, computational efficiency in time and computational efficiency in memory requirements, are considered and a novel method is proposed to so...

In this article, we propose the Theil-Sen estimators of parameters in a multiple linear regression model based on a multivariate median, generalizing the Theil-Sen estimator in a simple linear regression model. The proposed estimator is shown to be robust, consistent and asymptotically normal under mild conditions, and super-efficient when the error distribution is discontinuous. It can be chos...

Evaluation of efficiency of each of the DMUs (Decision Making Units) in a company is a very important task. Thus, the studies of evaluation of efficiency are being actively carried out, based on production function. Until quite recently, the loglinear production function (the Cobb-Douglas function) has been used for evaluation purposes. The loglinear model evaluates the DMUs by measuring the av...

Lignin is one of the main factors determining recalcitrance to enzymatic processing of lignocellulosic biomass. Poplars (Populus tremula x Populus alba) down-regulated for cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR), the enzyme catalyzing the first step in the monolignol-specific branch of the lignin biosynthetic pathway, were grown in field trials in Belgium and France under short-rotation coppice culture. ...

Downloa creatic cancer (PC) is a highly lethal disease with complex etiology involving both environmental netic factors. Although cigarette smoking is known to explain 25% of cases, data from recent studies sugat obesity and long-term type II diabetes are twomajor modifiable risk factors for PC. Furthermore, obed diabetes seem to affect the clinical outcome of patients with PC. Understanding th...

Abstract Kepler’s observations show most of the exoplanets are super-Earths. The formation super-Earth is generally related to atmospheric mass loss that crucial in planetary structure and evolution. shock driven by giant impact will heat planet, resulting atmosphere escape. We focus on whether self-gravity changes efficiency loss. Without self-gravity, if impactor comparable envelope mass, the...

this paper processes a combined method, based on vikor and data envelopment analysis (dea) to select the units with most efficiency. we utilize the vikor as compromise solution method. this research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. the problem involves belief parameters in the solution procedure. first, the alt...
