For investigation of the properties of smooth muscle contraction hypertonically added 40 mm K medium has been used as a routine in this laboratory. Others have used isotonic high K/Na deficient medium for the same purpose. The distinct difference xisting between the mechanical response of guinea pig taenia coli in hyper-40 K medium and that in iso 152 K medium has been reported earlier. The res...

It is known that the nonextensive statistics was originally formulated for the systems composed of subsystems having same q. In this paper, the existence of composite system with different q subsystems is investigated by fitting the power law degree distribution of air networks with q-exponential distribution. Then a possible extension the nonextensive statistics to different q systems is provi...

Proteins are essential molecules of life in the cell and are involved in multiple and highly specialized tasks encoded in the amino acid sequence. In particular, protein function is closely related to fundamental units of protein structure called domains. Here, we investigate the distribution of kinds of domains in human cells. Our findings show that while the number of domain types shared by k...

A bstract We give a geometric interpretation for superconformal quantum mechanics defined on hyper-Kähler cone which has an equivariant symplectic resolution. BPS states are identified with certain twisted Dolbeault cohomology classes the resolved space and their index degeneracies can also be related to Euler characteristic computed in sheaf cohomology. In special case of Hilbert scheme K poin...

The dynamic theory of inhomogeneous populations developed during the last decade predicts several essential new dynamic regimes applicable even to the wellknown, simple population models. We show that, in an inhomogeneous population with a distributed reproduction coefficient, the entire initial distribution of the coefficient should be used to investigate real population dynamics. In the gener...

This paper proposes a matrix variate generalization of the power exponential distribution family, which can be useful in generalizing statistical procedures in multivariate analysis and in designing robust alternatives to them. An example is added to show an application of the generalization.

A novel route to the exponential trapping-time distribution within a solidlike state in water clusters is described. We propose a simple homogeneous network (SHN) model to investigate dynamics on the potential energy networks of water clusters. In this model, it is shown that the trapping-time distribution in a solidlike state follows the exponential distribution, whereas the trapping-time dist...

Abstract The present paper proposes shrinkage testimator(s) for the scale parameter for an exponential distribution. An important feature of the proposed testimator is that, it removes the arbitrariness in the choice of shrinkage factor (weights) by making it dependent on the test statistic. The risk properties of the proposed testimator(s) have been studied under asymmetric loss function. It h...
