We present asymptotic relaxation estimates to bi-cluster configurations for the ensemble of Kuramoto oscillators with two different natural frequencies which have been observed in numerical simulations. We provide a set of initial configurations with a positive Lebesgue measure in T leading to bi-(point) cluster configurations consisting of linear combinations of two Dirac measures in super-thr...

OBJECTIVES Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites, deposited in the skin by infected Anopheles mosquitoes taking a blood meal, cross the endothelium of skin capillaries and travel to the liver where they traverse Kupffer cells and hepatocytes to finally invade a small number of the latter. In hepatocytes, sporozoites replicate, differentiate and give rise to large numbers of merozoites that are rele...

We investigate doubled (generalized) complex structures in $2D$-dimensional Born geometries where T-duality symmetry is manifestly realized. show that K\"{a}hler, hyperk\"{a}hler, bi-hermitian and bi-hypercomplex of spacetime are implemented as structures. find the generalized K\"{a}hler (hyperk\"{a}hler) appear subalgebras bi-quaternions split-tetra-quaternions. parts these classified by Cliff...

Yao introduced the “millionaire problem”, in which two parties want to determine who is richer without disclosing anything else about their wealth. This problem deals with single comparison situation; however, in many applications, one often encounters situations where one wants to make multiple comparisons in an “all-or-nothing” fashion: Alice has an n-dimensional vector A = (a 1; : : : ; an),...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-pap), administered by nasal mask in patients with acute respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of COPD. DESIGN Prospective non-randomized study in a hospital setting. METHODS Eighteen patients were recruited from those admitted in the Chest Unit of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi with acute exacerba...

Pressure intolerance is a reason for poor acceptance and subsequent compliance in some patients starting treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). In unselected populations initiating CPAP; different types of pressure generating device have not been found to improve compliance. We hypothesized that using Bi-level PAP for patients who reported pressure related discomfort as a ca...

This paper describes a corpus of conversations recorded using an extension of the DiapixUK task: the Diapix Foreign Language corpus (DIAPIX-FL) . English and Spanish native talkers were recorded speaking both English and Spanish. The bidirectionality of the corpus makes it possible to separate language (English or Spanish) from speaking in a first language (L1) or second language (L2). An acous...

The paper presents the problem of choosing the representatives in an assembly when the whole electoral region is subdivided into electoral districts. Because of the two dimensions, geographical (districts) and political (parties), the problem is called bi-apportionment. Often the allocation of seats to districts is pre-determined and furthermore distorted —meaning that the ratios of the number ...
