Within the scope of this study we test the Long Memory property on monthly average pig market prices including piglet, young pig, sow and slaughter pig. We also calculate the Hurst exponent using Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) method. DFA is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a time serie. It is a useful technique for investigating time series with long memory (dive...

OBJECTIVE Serum cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of myositis by initiating and perpetuating various cellular and humoral autoimmune processes. The aim of the present study was to describe a broad spectrum of T- and B-cell cytokines, growth factors and chemokines in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) and healthy individuals. METHODS A protein array syst...

In order to evaluate the phenotypic variation between natural population and cultured stocks of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758), the intraand inter-population differentiations were analyzed using biometric approach. Thus, eight morphological measurements were taken from 300 specimens collected from Ismailia Canal (AB) as natural population and two cultured stocks from Kafr E...

The population structure of the bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix (Linnaeus, 1766), in Turkish waters is scarcely described literature. To identify any distinct units and reaffirm findings a previous study, four areas were selected: Aegean Sea, western Black eastern Sea Marmara. In this truss network morphometrics, meristics, otolith shape analyses successfully applied for different identification ...

The effects of mobile phone usage on human health are now becoming the subject of recent interest and study. Analysis and observations of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can provide valuable insight and thus improves the understanding of the radiofrequency (RF) radiation influence towards human brain. This paper evaluates the selected classifiers for the classification of brainwave datas...

We show that Gabor lter representations of facial images give quantitatively indistinguishable results for classi cation of facial expressions as local PCA representations, in contrast to other recent work. We then show that a linear discriminant analysis performed on the Gabor lter representation automatically locates the important regions corresponding to the facial actions involved in portra...
