The aim of the work was to analyze the structural changes in different parts of the sarcolemma and contractile apparatus of muscle fibers by measuring their transversal stiffness by atomic force microscopy in a three-day reloading after a 14-day gravity disuse, which was carried out by hind-limbs suspension. The object of the study was the soleus muscle of the Wistar rat. It was shown that afte...

For systems of hyperbolic conservation laws, a new Glimm functional was recently constructed when the linearly degenerate manifold in each characteristic field is either the whole space or it consists of a finitely many smooth and transversal manifolds of co-dimension one. This new functional leads to the neat consistency and convergence rate estimation of the Glimm scheme. In this paper, by th...

The complexity of computing the Tutte polynomial T(~/c,x,y) is determined for transversal matroid ,4s and algebraic numbers x and y. It is shown that for fixed x and y the problem of computing T(~,x,y) for JA a transversal matroid is ~pP-complete unless the numbers x and y satisfy (x 1)(y 1) = 1, in which case it is polynomial-time computable. In particular, the problem of counting bases in a t...

two latin squares of order $n$ are orthogonal if in their superposition, each of the$n^{2}$ ordered pairs of symbols occurs exactly once. colbourn, zhang and zhu, in a seriesof papers, determined the integers $r$ for which there exist a pair of latin squares oforder $n$ having exactly $r$ different ordered pairs in their superposition. dukes andhowell defined the same problem for latin squares ...

In this paper we introduce the generalized feedforward filter, a new class of adaptive filters that combines attractive properties of finite impulse response (FIR) filters with some of the power of infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. A particular case, the gamma filter, generalizes Widrow’s adaptive transversal filter (adaline) to an infinite impulse response filter. Yet, the stability con...

The topographic structure of Giemsa banded (G-banded) early metaphase human chromosomes adsorbed on glass was analyzed by atomic force microscope using amplitude modulation mode [AMAFM]. Longitudinal height measurements for early metaphasic human chromosomes showed a central ridge that was further characterized by transversal height measurements. The heterochromatic regions displayed a high lev...

Given a family of objecte in the plane, the line transversal problem is to compute a line that intersects every member of the family. In this paper we examine a variation of the line transversal problem that involves computing a shortest line segment that intersects every member of the family. In particular, we give O(nlogn) time algorithms for computing a shortest transversal of a family of n ...

We investigate the convergence behavior of the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm in the structure of a linear transversal filter. At the n-th iteration, the traditional NLMS transversal filter generates the n-th output signal by using linear convolution of the n-th input vector and the n-th coefficient vector. Based on this result, the n-th coefficient vector is updated to the n + 1...
