27 A 3,204 bp full-length cDNA of bovine NALP9 was cloned and its genomic organisation was 28 analyzed. The 2,988 bp open reading frame covers 9 exons and encodes a deduced protein of 996 29 amino acids containing Pyrin, Nacht and leucine-rich repeat domains like the human NALP gene 30 family members. Mapping with the WGRH5000 panel and fluorescence in situ hybridisation 31 assigned NALP9 in cl...

A decentralized failure detection and isolation (FDI) methodology, which is robust with respect to model uncertainties and noise, is presented. Redundancy metrics are developed, and optimization problems are posed for the choices of robust parity relations. Closed-form solutions for some special failure cases are given. Connections are drawn with other disciplines, and the use of the metrics to...

by relying mainly on the accessibility approach to anaphora, this article intends to analyze the types, distributions and retrieval of anaphors in two forms of spoken discourse: casual and controlled talk. for the specific purposes of the study, twenty sophomore iranian students were randomly selected to conduct the talks. the subjects were divided into two groups of casual and controlled talk....
