Filipino Americans have lower suicide rates than other Asian ethnic groups. The present study examined risk factors for suicide ideation and attempt among Filipino Americans with random forest. The data were from the Filipino American Community Epidemiological Study (Takeuchi, 2011). The results showed that the important predictors for suicide ideation were depressive disorder, substance use di...

Because Japanese corpora have been developed recently, it has become possible to perform stochastic morphological analysis for Japanese(Nagata, 1994; Takeuchi and Matsumoto, 1995; Mori and Nagao, 1996; Yamamoto et al., 1997). Although the same Hidden Markov Model-based approach as English can be fundamentally applicable with word/part-of-speech n-gram data, some problems peculiar to Japanese ma...

Let τ be an invertible skew pairing on (B,H), where B and H are Hopf algebras in a symmetric monoidal category C with (co)equalizers. Assume that H is quasitriangular. Then we obtain a new algebra structure such that B is a Hopf algebra in the braided category HYD and there exists a Hopf algebra isomorphism w : B∞H → B τH in C, where B∞H is a Hopf algebra with (co)algebra structure the smash (c...

In a regular distribution family, Cramér-Rao inequality holds, and the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) converges to a normal distribution whose variance is the inverse of the Fisher information because the Fisher information converges and is well-defined in this family. However, in a non-regular location shift family which is generated by a distribution of R whose support is not R (e.g., a W...

We describe a patient with an infrequent combination of variants in both the right and the left coronary arterial ostia, namely a combination of two separate right coronary artery (RCA) ostia from the aorta, and an anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). To our knowledge, such a combination has not been previously reported. Based on published statistics ...

The concept of biperfect (noncocommutative) weak Hopf algebras is introduced and their properties are discussed. A new type of quasi-bicrossed products are constructed by means of weak Hopf skew-pairs of the weak Hopf algebras which are generalizations of the Hopf pairs introduced by Takeuchi. As a special case, the quantum double of a finite dimensional biperfect (noncocommutative) weak Hopf a...

0. Introduction I. Takeuchi defined the following recursive function, called the tarai function, in [5]. t(x, y, z) = if x ≤ y then y else t(t(x− 1, y, z), t(y − 1, z, x), t(z − 1, x, y)) This function requires many recursive calls even for small x, y, and z, so it is used to see how effectively the programming language implementation handles recursive calls. In [3], J. McCarthy proved that thi...

While the potential influence of national culture on the efficiency of knowledge management interventions has been widely accepted there is a little discussion concerning the underlying question – are the theories and models of knowledge related processes we use are influenced by culture? SECI model proposed by Nonaka and Takeuchi is very influential in knowledge management community, and its a...

SOURCE/DESCRIPTION: A pancreatic polypeptide cDNA clone (465 base pair Insert 1n the vector pBR322) was isolated from a library created from human pancreatic neoplasm RNA. This cDNA clone spans a 95 amino acid sequence in the coding region with a 29 amino add amino terminus leader sequence, a three amino acid connecting sequence and a 27 amino add carboxyl terminus (Takeuchi and Yamada, 1985). ...
