Recently block sorting compression scheme was developed and relation to statistical scheme was studied, but theoretical analysis of performance has not been studied well. Context sorting is a compression scheme based on context similarity and it is regarded as an online version of the block sorting and it is asymptotically optimal. However, the compression speed is slower and the real performan...

Introduction: Electroporation is a practical technique used to transport the molecules across the cell membrane. The utilization of fluorescent molecules is the method widely used to evaluate the electropermeability of cell membrane as a result of pulse application. It is also possible to use mathematical methods to predict the changes caused in cell electropermeability as a result of the chang...

introduction earth's atmosphere plays an important role in preventing the temperature decrease. one of the principal factors of environmental pollution and the main source of earth's climate and biodiversity changes is greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, particularly agricultural sector. agriculture sector is considered as a major source of greenhouse gas sequestration, including me...

This paper describes the adaptation of an experimental software radio system, based on UMTS-TDD and providing direct interconnection with an IPv6 Core Network, developed in the context of several research projects. It focuses on the convergence of a 3GPP-based system towards "pure-IP" architecture. The platform presented is designed using open architectures at both the hardware and software lev...

Occupational, environmental, and nutritional epidemiologists are often interested in estimating the prospective effect of time-varying exposure variables such as cumulative exposure or cumulative updated average exposure, in relation to chronic disease endpoints such as cancer incidence and mortality. From exposure validation studies, it is apparent that many of the variables of interest are me...

OBJECTIVE The present status of global mission trips of all of the academic Plastic Surgery programs was surveyed. We aimed to provide information and guidelines for other interested programs on creating a global health elective in compliance with American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Residency Review Committee (ACGME/RRC) requirements...

Introduction Application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient  photothermal effects. Gold-gold sulfide (GGS) is considered as one of these nanostructures. This study was performed on a tissue-equivalent optical-thermal phantom to determine the temperature profile in the presence and absence of GGS and millisecond pulses of a ...

We present a CCD $VI$ photometric study of the globular cluster M14. Particular attention is given to variable stars. This allowed new classifications and membership considerations. New variables are reported; 3 RRc, 18 SR 1 SX Phe. The Fourier decomposition RR Lyrae light curves lead mean metallicity [Fe/H]$_{\rm ZW}= -1.3 \pm 0.2$. Several independent methods yield distance $9.36 0.16$ kpc. A...

We present new period-$\phi_{31}$-[Fe/H] relations for first overtone RRL stars (RRc), calibrated over a broad range of metallicities ($-2.5 < \textrm{[Fe/H]}< 0.0$) utilizing the largest currently available set Galactic halo field with homogeneous spectroscopic metallicities. Our are defined in optical (ASAS-SN $V$-band) and, inaugurally, infrared (WISE $W1$ and $W2$ bands). $V$-band relation ...

We present B and V CCD photometry for variables in the cluster central region, adding new data for 32 variables and giving suitable light curves, mean magnitudes and corrected colors for 17 RR Lyrae. Implementing the data given in this paper with similar data already appeared in the literature we discuss a sample of 42 variables, as given by 22 RRab and 20 RRc, to the light of recent prediction...
