Various methods to control the influence of a covariate on a response variable are compared. In particular, ANOVA with or without homogeneity of variances (HOV) of errors and Kruskal-Wallis (K-W) tests on covariate-adjusted residuals and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are compared. Covariate-adjusted residuals are obtained from the overall regression line fit to the entire data set ignoring th...

(Received 00 Month 200x; In final form 00 Month 200x) We study experimentally parametric amplification in the continuous regime using a transverse-degenerate type-II Optical Parametric Oscillator operated below threshold. We demonstrate that this device is able to amplify either in the phase insensitive or phase sensitive way first a single mode beam, then a multimode image. Furthermore the tot...

Lettuce is a horticultural crop that has many enthusiasts and widely cultivated using hydroponic systems. One important factor for plant growth the need sufficient light to support process of photosynthesis. Efforts overcome lack use artificial comes from LED lights. This study aims determine effect ultraviolet lamp power on lettuce plants. was divided into two groups: control group without irr...

The objective of this research work was to characterize and identify multipattern clonal grafts with morphological, physicochemical,and health characteristics obtain good yields fruit pulp quality in soursop populations. descriptor list for soursop, recommended by CORPOICA, used the plants. For quantitative qualitative morphological characterization fruit, statistical software InfoStat used, de...

conclusions in conclusion, mma official and simulated matches induce similar high intensity glycolytic demands and minimal changes to biochemical markers of muscle damage immediately following the fights. glycolytic availability prior to the fights was raised exclusively in response to official matches. objectives the main objective of this study was to compare biochemical responses to sparring...

Let f(n, r, k) be the minimal number such that every hypergraph larger than f(n, r, k) contained in ([n] r ) contains a matching of size k, and let g(n, r, k) be the minimal number such that every hypergraph larger than g(n, r, k) contained in the r-partite r-graph [n]r contains a matching of size k. The Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem states that f(n, r, 2) = (n−1 r−1 ) (r ≤ n 2 ) and it is easy to show...

We introduce a numerical measure on sets of partitions of finite sets that is linked to the Goodman-Kruskal association index commonly used in statistics. This measure allows us to define a metric on such partions used for constructing decision trees. Experimental results suggest that by replacing the usual splitting criterion used in C4.5 by a metric criterion based on the Goodman-Kruskal coef...

Face recognition in today's technological world, and face recognition applications attain much more importance. Most of the existing work used frontal face images to classify face image. However these techniques fail when applied on real world face images. The proposed technique effectively extracts the prominent facial features. Most of the features are redundant and do not contribute to repre...

We give a constructive proof of Kruskal’s Tree Theorem— precisely, of a topological extension of it. The proof is in the style of a constructive proof of Higman’s Lemma due to Murthy and Russell (1990), and illuminates the role of regular expressions there. In the process, we discover an extension of Dershowitz’ recursive path ordering to a form of cyclic terms which we call μ-terms. This all c...
