Most epithelial cells secrete a glycoprotein-rich apical extracellular matrix that can have diverse but still poorly understood roles in development and physiology. Zona Pellucida (ZP) domain glycoproteins are common constituents of these matrices, and their loss in humans is associated with a number of diseases. Understanding of the functions, organization and regulation of apical matrices has...

The estimation accuracy of the mixed matrix is very important to performance underdetermined blind source separation (UBSS) system. To improve matrix, sparsity signal required. novel fractional domain time–frequency plane obtained by rotating after short-time Fourier transform. This represents fine characteristics in time and frequency domain. rotation angle determined global searching for mini...

We report the final result of the CUORICINO experiment. Operated between 2003 and 2008, with a total exposure of 19.75 kg . y of Te, CUORICINO was able to set a lower bound on the Te 0mbb half-life of 2.8 x 10 years at 90% C.L. The limit here reported includes the effects of systematic uncertainties that are examined in detail in the paper. The corresponding upper bound on the neutrino Majorana...

We use conference matrices to define an action of the complex numbers on the real Euclidean vector space R. In certain cases, the lattice D n becomes a module over a ring of quadratic integers. We can then obtain new unimodular lattices, essentially by multiplying the lattice D n by a non-principal ideal in this ring. We show that lattices constructed via quadratic residue codes, including the ...

Domain decomposition methods for Finite Element problems using a partition based on the underlying nite element mesh have been extensively studied In this paper we discuss algebraic extensions of the class of overlapping domain decomposition algorithms for general sparse matrices The subproblems are created with an overlapping partition of the graph corresponding to the sparsity structure of th...

this paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on qft (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. a piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. this system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (mimo) control systems whose inputs are two...

In this paper, the free vibration analysis of moderately thick rectangular plates axially moving with constant velocity and subjected to uniform in-plane loads is investigated by the spectral finite element method. Two parallel edges of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and the remaining edges have any arbitrary boundary conditions. Using Hamilton’s principle, three equations of moti...

the purpose of the present study is to introduce the sequence space[{l_p}(e,delta) = left{ x = (x_n)_{n = 1}^infty : sum_{n = 1}^infty left| sum_{j in {e_n}} x_j - sum_{j in e_{n + 1}} x_jright| ^p < infty right},]where $e=(e_n)$ is a partition of finite subsets of the positive integers and $pge 1$. the topological properties and inclusion relations of this space are studied. moreover, the prob...

let $rin textbf{c}^{mtimes m}$ and $sin textbf{c}^{ntimes n}$ be nontrivial involution matrices; i.e., $r=r^{-1}neq pm~i$ and $s=s^{-1}neq pm~i$. an $mtimes n$ complex matrix $a$ is said to be an $(r, s)$-symmetric ($(r, s)$-skew symmetric) matrix if $ras =a$ ($ ras =-a$). the $(r, s)$-symmetric and $(r, s)$-skew symmetric matrices have a number of special properties and widely used in engi...

Assessment of pavement distresses is one of the important parts of pavement management systems to adopt the most effective road maintenance strategy. In the last decade, extensive studies have been done to develop automated systems for pavement distress processing based on machine vision techniques. One of the most important structural components of computer vision is the feature extraction met...
