Let C be an isolated plane curve singularity, and (C, l) be a decorated curve. In this article we compare the equisingular deformations of C and the sandwiched singularity X(C, l). We will prove that for l ≫ 0 the functor of equisingular deformations of C and (C, l) are equivalent. From this we deduce a proof of a formula for the dimension of the equisingular stratum. Furthermore we will show h...

background & aim: the use of herbal extracts as safe and effective factors for eradicating of stores pests has attracted much attention. in this paper, the bio-effects of fumigation and repellent effects of essential oil of eucalyptus globolus were investigated on red flour beetle. experimental: in this study, the toxicity, fumigation and repellency contacts were assayed by topical applicat...

In this study, we propose a two stage randomized response model. Improved unbiased estimators of the mean number of persons possessing a rare sensitive attribute under two different situations are proposed. The proposed estimators are evaluated using a relative efficiency comparison. It is shown that our estimators are efficient as compared to existing estimators when the parameter of rare unre...

We consider the Useful Informational Energy introduced by L. Pardo [5]. Our purpose is to study the asymptotic distribution of its analogue estimator, in a random and stratified sampling, as well as its application to testing hypotheses.

This paper presents an approach for image and video scaling using multirate signal processing. The main objective is to scale images with arbitrary rational scaling ratio without visible aliasing or distortion artifact. The approach can be applied to grey scale images, color images and video signals in both spatial domain and time domain. Cosine modulation is used to minimize the required on-ch...

Can a supercompact cardinal κ be Laver indestructible when there is a level-by-level agreement between strong compactness and supercompactness? In this article, we show that if there is a sufficiently large cardinal above κ, then no, it cannot. Conversely, if one weakens the requirement either by demanding less indestructibility, such as requiring only indestructibility by stratified posets, or...

introduction: to write a computational program to calculate the average glandular dose in mammography with rh-rh target-filter and also use it as an accurate and fast method of dose calculation founder different situations. materials and methods: in this research, the sobol-wu parameters are used to write a fortran code for glandular dose calculation in rh-rh target-filter mammograms. the code ...

A nested case-control study, including 830 cases and 992 controls from 7 cohorts, was conducted to evaluate the association of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), the best indicator of vitamin D status, with risk of endometrial cancer. Matching factors included age at blood donation, date of blood donation, and race. Conditional logistic regression was used in the main analysis. The medi...

An analytical technique based on the method of undetermined coefficients is applied to the problem of computing the theoretical spectral estimate by the maximum entropy method (MEM) when the autocorrelation function of the data is known exactly and corresponds to N sinusoids in additive white noise and to N sinusoids in additive l-pole, low-pass noise. For the white noise case, the L prediction...
