In this paper, we propose a new fast Fourier transform (FFT) based LMS-Newton (LMSN) adaptive filter algorithm. At each adaptive time step t, the nth-order filter coefficients are updated by using the inverse of an n-by-n Hermitian, positive definite, Toeplitz operator T (t). By applying the cyclic displacement formula for the inverse of a Toeplitz operator, T (t)−1 can be constructed using the...

background and objectives: toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular parasite which causes severe diseases in the fetus of pregnant women and immunocopmromised patients. serological tests based on recombinant protein are one of the main diagnosis methods for the detection of specific antibodies in serum samples. dense granule antigenic proteins derived from t. gondii (tggras) are potenti...

Hereinafter Einstein’s summation convention is supposed. In the given system v(x, t) is the velocity vector of the particle at a point x at an instant t; p = p(x, t) is the pressure of the fluid at a point x at an instant t; f = f (x, t) is the vector of body forces acting on the fluid; σ = (σi j(x)) is the deviator of the stress tensor. By Divσ we denote the vector of divergences of columns of...

b a ckground : anopheles culicifacies is an important vector of malaria in southeast asia, contributing to almost 70%of malaria cases in india. it exists as a complex of five morphologically indistinguishable species a, b, c, d and e with varied geographical distribution patterns. in india, 8% of the total population of madhya pradesh (central india) contributes about 30% of total malaria cases...

Treatment of genetic disease such as the bleeding disorder hemophilia B [deficiency in blood coagulation factor IX (F.IX)] by gene replacement therapy is hampered by the risk of immune responses to the therapeutic gene product and to the gene transfer vector. Immune competent mice of two different strains were tolerized to human F.IX by hepatic gene transfer mediated by adenoassociated viral ve...

conclusions this study can serve as a fundamental experiment for the construction of a ns3/ns4a eukaryotic expression vector and its expression in mammalian cells. further research is underway to evaluate the fragment immunogenicity in lab animal models. results the results showed that the fragment was successfully amplified and cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector. sequencing and enzyme ...

1.1. Graded vector spaces. By a Z-graded vector space (or simply, graded vector space) we mean a direct sum A = ⊕i∈ZAi of vector spaces over a field k of characteristic zero. The Ai are called the components of A of degree i and the degree of a homogeneous element a ∈ A is denoted by |a|. We also denote by A[n] the graded vector space with degree shifted by n, namely, A[n] = ⊕i∈Z(A[n])i with (A...

BACKGROUND Interruption of vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi remains an unrealized objective in many Latin American countries. The task of vector control is complicated by the emergence of vector insects in urban areas. METHODS Utilizing data from a large-scale vector control program in Arequipa, Peru, we explored the spatial patterns of infestation by Triatoma infestans in an ur...
