The epithelium lining the mouse larynx occupied the transitional zone between the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium lining the oral cavity and the ciliated columnar one continuing to the trachea. The epithelium showed gradations ranging from stratified squamous through stratified cuboidal to ciliated stratified low-columnar type. It is suggested that the epithelium is identical with th...

Methane is a potential source of carbon in drinking water. Typically, it removed at waterworks during an initial treatment step such as aeration or stripping. Remaining methane may be converted by methane-oxidizing bacteria to organic carbon, which then available for heterotrophic growth and ultimately contribute invertebrate growth. We investigated the presence invertebrates with incomplete re...

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...

This paper shows how to induce an N-best t r ans la t ion lexicon f rom a bi l ingual t ex t corpus using s ta t is t ical proper t ies of the corpus toge the r wi th four ex te rna l knowledge sources. The knowledge sources are cast as filters, so t h a t any subset of t h e m can be cascaded in a un i form framework. A new object ive evaluat ion measure is used to compare the qual i ty of lex...

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...

There are two types of digital filters including Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR). IIR filters attract more attention as they can decrease the filter order significantly compared to FIR filters. Owing to multi-modal error surface, simple powerful optimization techniques should be utilized in designing IIR digital filters to avoid local minimum. Imperialist compe...

We study the inverse problem for persistent homology: For a fixed simplicial complex K, we analyze fiber of continuous map PH on space filters that assigns to filter f:K?R total barcode its associated sublevel set filtration K. find is best understood as stratified spaces. Over each stratum restricts (trivial) bundle with polyhedral complex. Amongst other derive bound dimension depending number...

BACKGROUND Cigarette butts are the most common form of litter, as an estimated 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are thrown away every year worldwide. Many chemical products are used during the course of growing tobacco and manufacturing cigarettes, the residues of which may be found in cigarettes prepared for consumption. Additionally, over 4000 chemicals may also be introduced to the environment v...

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.
