Network motifs play an important role in the qualitative analysis and quantitative characterization of networks. The feed-forward loop is a semantically important and statistically highly significant motif. In this paper, we extend the definition of the feed-forward loop to subgraphs of arbitrary size. To avoid the complexity of path enumeration, we define generalized feed-forward loops as pair...

We present a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach to infer the cosmic matter density field, and lensing power spectra, from shear data. This method uses physical model of structure formation physically plausible structures, which accounts for non-Gaussian features gravitationally evolved distribution light-cone effects. test validate our framework with realistic simulated data, demonstratin...

introduction: monte carlo (mc) is the most common method for simulating virtual spect projections. it is useful for optimizing procedures, evaluating correction algorithms and more recently image reconstruction as a forward projector in iterative algorithms; however, the main drawback of mc is its long run time. we introduced a model based method considering the effect of body attenuation and i...

This study pertains to a random sample of untreated French-Canadian adolescents (79 females and 107 males) evaluated at 10 and again at 15 years of age. Superimpositions on natural reference structures were performed to describe condylar growth and modelling of 11 mandibular landmarks. Superimpositions on natural cranial/cranial base reference structures were performed to describe mandibular di...
