We report a simple, affordable (?0.02 US $/test), rapid (within 5 min), and quantitative paper-based sensor integrated with smartphone application for on-spot detection of hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration using approximately 10 ?L finger-pricked blood. Quantitative analytical colorimetry is achieved via an Android-based (Sens-Hb), integrating key operational steps image acquisition, real-time ana...

Let A be a separable C−algebra and A its enveloping W −algebra. A result of Akemann, Anderson, and Pedersen states that if {pn} is a sequence of mutually orthogonal, minimal projections in A such that P ∞ k pn is closed, ∀k, then there is a MASA B in A such that each φn|B is pure and has a unique state extension to A, where φn is the pure state of A supported by pn. We generalize this result in...

Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent functions involving the argument of complex-value functions of the form f = h + ¯g and investigate some properties of this subclass e.g. necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds, extreme points, distortion bounds and Hadamard product.Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent func...

we introduce variational inequality problems on hilbert $c^*$-modules and we prove several existence results for variational inequalities defined on closed convex sets. then relation between variational inequalities, $c^*$-valued metric projection and fixed point theory  on  hilbert $c^*$-modules is studied.

An effective strategy for accelerating the calculation of convex hulls for point sets is to filter the input points by discarding interior points. In this paper, we present such a straightforward and efficient preprocessing approach by exploiting the GPU. The basic idea behind our approach is to discard the points that locate inside a convex polygon formed by 16 extreme points. Due to the fact ...

This short course covers the application of the statistical theory of extreme values to climate, in general, and to climate change, in particular. The statistical theory of extreme values is briefly reviewed, both the extremal types theorem with its application via the block maxima approach (i.e., fitting the generalized extreme value distribution) and the point process model with its applicati...

Abstract: This paper presents a design method of 2-dimensional (2-D) FIR filters by successive projection (SP) method using multiple extreme frequency points based on Fritz John’s theorem. The proposed method enables an update of coefficients using multiple extreme frequency points by Fritz John’s theorem. Moreover, we also present two methods as how to choose the extreme frequency point for th...
