High-throughput expression profiling allows simultaneous measure of tens of thousands of genes at once. These data have motivated the development of reliable biomarkers for disease subtypes identification and diagnosis. Many methods have been developed in the literature for analyzing these data, such as diagonal discriminant analysis, support vector machines, and k-nearest neighbor methods. The...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a uniquely human disorder. although the pathogenesis of ad is not fully understood, growing evidence indicates that the deposition of beta-amyloid (aβ) and the local reactions of various cell types to this protein play major roles in the development of the disease. in the present study transgenic mice expressing mutant amyloid precursor protein (app) has been used. t...

In this paper, we present a robust real-time 3D tracking system of human hands and face. This system can be used as a perceptual interface for virtual reality activities in a workbench environment. The main advantage of our system is that the human, that is in front of the virtual reality device, do not needs any type of marker or special suite. The system includes a real time color segmentatio...

This paper is a continuation of 161 whose notations and references we shall preserve. 6 Let 1 be a prime number, (I, q) = 1, and let 8, be an algebraic closure of 0,. Let .9(G) be the Grothendieck group of virtual G-modules over a,. for any finite-dimensional G-module E over 8,. Let T be a maximal torus of G, defined over F, and let T be the group of its F,-rational points. For any one dimensio...

A module for learning about virtual and augmented reality is being developed under the U-Academy project. The module is composed of three parts. The first part is an introduction to the basic concepts of virtual and augmented reality with the help of illustrative examples. The second part presents some of the current uses of augmented reality and its prospective use in several areas that range ...

This paper describes an implementation of the LAM MPI suite on the top of the Virtual Interface Architecture. The Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) is an emerging standard designed by Intel, Microsoft, and Compaq aimed at the reduction of communication latency for cluster of workstations or system area networks. Thanks to M-VIA, a Linux software module that emulates VIA and provides programm...

When a virtual machine monitor (VMM) provides code that executes in the context of a guest operating system, allowing that code to have privileged access to specific hardware and VMM resources can enable new mechanisms to enhance functionality, performance, and adaptability. We present a software technique, guarded execution of privileged code in the guest, that allows the VMM to provide this c...

let a be a banach algebra and e be a banach a-bimodule then s = a  e, the l1-direct sum of a and e becomes a module extension banach algebra when equipped with the algebras product (a; x):(a′; x′) = (aa′; a:x′ + x:a′). in this paper, we investigate △-amenability for these banach algebras and we show that for discrete inverse semigroup s with the set of idempotents es, the module extension bana...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and $m$ be a finitely generated unital $r$-module. in this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $m$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. then some properties of fitting ideals of...

In this paper, we show how to conjointly use module theory and constructive homological algebra to obtain general conditions for a matrix R of functional operators (e.g., differential/shift/time-delay operators) to be equivalent to a block-triangular or block-diagonal matrix R (i.e., conditions for the existence of unimodular matrices V and W satisfying that R = V R W ). These results allow us ...
