PT XYZ has more than 30 employees, so to support the progress of company, it is necessary thank employees who have shown good dedication. When giving appreciation, there must be a selection process for best employees. However, difficulties manual and subjectivity department heads made longer, with some complaining about decisions that were not on target. In this problem, researchers try change ...

BACKGROUND Human parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-34) or teriparatide (TPTD) is an anabolic agent for osteoporosis. This recombinant protein stimulates positive bone formation balance and bone remodeling. However, when concomitantly used with antiresorptive (AR) agents, previous studies reported conflicting results in their potential additive and synergistic effects on bone metabolism and bone mine...

In this study, we consider a filtering method for image sequence degraded by additive Gaussian noise. In general, for the image sequence filtering, motion compensation (MC) method is required in order to obtain good filtering performance both in the still and moving regions of an image sequence. Nevertheless, a heavy computation load is imposed on MC method and MC tends to get mistaken motion v...

This study aimed to clarify genetic and environmental contributions to Carabelli trait variation on permanent first molar teeth in a large sample of South Australian twins. Estimates of polychoric correlations were obtained between pairs of monozygous (MZ) and dizygous (DZ) twins for Carabelli data and various gene-environment models fitted by a weighted least-squares approach. The favored mode...

Thorup and Zwick, in the seminal paper [Journal of ACM, 52(1), 2005, pp 1-24], showed that a weighted undirected graph on n vertices can be preprocessed in subcubic time to design a data structure which occupies only subquadratic space, and yet, for any pair of vertices, can answer distance query approximately in constant time. The data structure is termed as approximate distance oracle. Subseq...

Abstract—Additive codes over GF(9) that are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product have a natural application in quantum information theory, where they correspond to ternary quantum error-correcting codes. However, these codes have so far received far less interest from coding theorists than self-dual additive codes over GF(4), which correspond to binary quantum codes. Self...

The disease- and mortality-related difference between biological age based on DNA methylation and chronological age (Δage) has been found to have approximately 40% heritability by assuming that the familial correlation is only explained by additive genetic factors. We calculated two different Δage measures for 132 middle-aged female twin pairs (66 monozygotic and 66 dizygotic twin pairs) and th...

Rotnitzky, Robins, and Scharfstein (1998, Journal of the American Statistical Association 93, 1321-1339) developed a methodology for conducting sensitivity analysis of studies in which longitudinal outcome data are subject to potentially nonignorable missingness. In their approach, they specify a class of fully parametric selection models, indexed by a non- or weakly identified selection bias f...

Both reverberation and additive noises degrade the speech quality and intelligibility. the weighted prediction error (WPE) performs well on dereverberation but with limitations. First, The WPE doesn’t consider the influence of the additive noise which degrades the performance of dereverberation. Second, it relies on a time-consuming iterative process, and there is no guarantee or a widely accep...
