A comprehensive but simple-to-use software package called DPS (Data Processing System) has been developed to execute a range of standard numerical analyses and operations used in experimental design, statistics and data mining. This program runs on standard Windows computers. Many of the functions are specific to entomological and other biological research and are not found in standard statisti...

Polarity items have been analyzed as existential DPs that introduce into the semantic derivation two types of alternatives: domain alternatives (corresponding to possible restrictions quantification) and scalar stronger quantificational forces.) This approach has led development a typology polarity is based on these (Chierchia 2013). What are dimensions variation? Bar-Lev & Margulis (2014) ...

Asymmetric segregation of damaged proteins (DPs) during mitosis has been linked in yeast and bacteria to the protection of one cell from aging. Recent evidence suggests that stem cells may use a similar mechanism; however, to date there is no in vivo evidence demonstrating this effect in healthy adult stem cells. We report that stem cells in larval (neuroblast) and adult (female germline and in...

The frequency of deletion of short arm satellites has been examined in various populations. Four out of 2509 males in psychiatric institutions and prisons had Dps or Gps (1-6 per 1000), and five out of 6187 persons in the general population had Dps or Gps (0-8 per 1000). The difference is not significant. The segregation rate of the chromosome with lack of short arm satellite material did not d...

INTRODUCTION This study was designed to evaluate the psychometric attributes and screening efficiency of a Spanish version of the Children Predictive Scales (DPS) against the Spanish Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC-IV). METHOD This pilot cross-sectional study included 61 children aged 9 to 14 years in a mainstream school. The following psychometric attributes were analyzed: a...

Motivated by clustering of data sets with multimode and skewed cluster distributions, we introduce a two-layer Bayesian Gaussian mixture model that is non-parametric in terms of not only the number of clusters but their shapes as well. The upper layer in this model uses a global Dirichlet Process (DP) to model the number of clusters and their sizes, while the lower layer assigns one local DP fo...

This paper treats deadlocks and liveness of the closed-loop discrete event system GSCSM|f consisting of a strongly connected state machine (SCSM), a subclass of Petri nets, and a state-feedback which realizes the mutually exclusive control. The GSCSM|f is not always live even if the original SCSM is live, and deadlocks exist in GSCSM|f. A deadlock marking is newly defined and the D-net is propo...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the temporal differences among three measures of pharyngeal stage transition in 40 normal subjects. The measures were (1) Pharyngeal Delay Time (PDT), (2) Stage Transition Duration (STD), and (3) Delayed Pharyngeal Swallow (DPS). Results showed a significant difference between younger and older subjects for PDT and STD but not for DPS. No gender ...
