A density f = f(x1, . . . , xd) on the hypercube [0, 1] d is block decreasing if, for each j ∈ {1, . . . , d}, it is a decreasing function of xj as xj → 1, when all other components are held fixed. Let us consider the class of all block decreasing densities on [0, 1]d bounded by B. We shall study the minimax risk over this class using n i.i.d.observations, the loss being measured by the L1 dist...

Simulated design and analysis of a new simple multi-band microstrip antenna is presented in this paper. An introduced design covers the requisite bandwidth for GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS cellular phone system and IEEE Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standards: 802.11n, b/g (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth. Light weight, low-cost, plain configuration and multi-band functionality are the advantages. All results of th...

Computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion is considered to be the best method for postimplant dosimetry of permanent prostate brachytherapy; however, it is inconvenient and costly. In T2*-weighted image (T2*-WI), seeds can be easily detected without the use of an intravenous contrast material. We present a novel method for postimplant dosimetry using T2*-WI/T2-weighted im...

Automatic network recognition offers apromising framework for the integration of the cognitiveconcept at the network layer. This work addresses the problemof automatic classification of technologies operating in the ISMband, with particular focus on Wi-Fi vs. Bluetooth recognition.The proposed classifier is based on feature extraction related totime-varying patterns of p...

it is always attempted to reduce the costs of comminution in mineral processing plants. one of thedifficulties in size reduction section is not to be designed properly. the key factor to design size reductionunits such as crushers and grinding mills, is ore’s work index. the work index, wi, presents the oregrindability, and is used in bond formula to calculate the required energy. bond has defi...

The branching ratio of the Epidemic-Type Aftershock Sequence model using spatial variability background rate is substantially lower than previously reported a space invariant rate, demonstrating that Earth's crust at subcritical rather critical state.

The 3Rs stand for Replacement of animals in experiments, Reduction in the number of experimental animals, and Refinement of experiments to minimize animal pain and stress. We propose to address Reduction and Refinement in the use of mice as experimental models in developmental research. This study focuses on the maternal percentage of weight increase at gestational day 8 (%WI(GD8)) to diagnose ...
