Systematic measurements of the temperature coecient for alanine electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) response have been performed for irradiation in the temperature range (10±50)8C and in the absorbed dose range (1±100) kGy at the dose rate 9.5 kGy/h. During the Co -ray irradiation, -L-alanine dosimeters were kept in a sealed aluminum holder that provided an e€ective heat exchange with the te...

High-resolution measurement of medication adherence is essential to personalized drug therapy. A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared device, using an edible ingestion sensor (IS), external wearable patch, and paired mobile device can detect and record ingestion events. Oral medications must be combined with an IS to generate precise "digitized-medication" ingestion records. We develop...

We quantify the informational content of special regressors in heteroskedastic binary regressions with median-independent or conditionally symmetric errors. We measure informational content by two criteria: the set of regressor values that help point identify coe¢ cients in latent payo¤s as in (Manski 1988); and the Fisher information of coe¢ cients as in (Chamberlain 1986). We …nd for median-i...

BACKGROUND Invasion of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) is critical in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway play a critical role in RA-FLS invasion induced by interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The present study aimed to explore the anti-invasive activity and mech...

In this paper we present an adaptive image coding algorithm based on novel backwardadaptive quantization/classi cation techniques. We use a simple uniform scalar quantizer to quantize the image subbands. Our algorithm puts each coe cient into one of several classes depending on the values of neighboring previously quantized coe cients. These previously quantized coe cients form contexts which a...

This article considers a linear regression model when a set of exact lin ear restrictions binding the coe cients is available and some observations on the study variable are missing Estimators for the vectors of regression coe cients are presented and their superiority properties with respect to the criteria of the variance covariance matrix and the risk under balanced loss functions are analyzed

A method of quantitative comparison of two classi cations rules applied to protein folding problem is presented. Classi cation of proteins based on sequence homology and based on amino acid composition were compared and analyzed according to this approach. The coe cient of correlation between these classi cation methods and the procedure of estimation of robustness of the coe cient are discussed.

We show that the integer roots of of a univariate polynomial with integer coe cients can be computed in polynomial time This re sult holds for the classical i e Turing model of computation and a sparse representation of polynomials i e coe cients and exponents are written in binary and only nonzero monomials are represented

We present a robust non-iterative algorithm to design optimal minimum phase digital FIR lters with real or complex coe cients. We derive (1) the discrete Hilbert transform (DHT) of the complex cepstrum of a causal complex minimum phase sequence, and (2) the minimum fast Fourier transform length for computing the DHT to achieve a desired coe cient accuracy.

Abstract In the European context, an understanding that States are responsible for effective child protection system is well established. Further, all 47 members of CoE have adopted Convention Protection Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, countries ratified UN on Child (CRC). Thus, come to understand their responsibility in terms child’s right protection. The aim this article explicate core...
