This paper describes the probabilistic behaviour of a random Sturmian word. It performs the probabilistic analysis of the recurrence function which can be viewed as a waiting time to discover all the factors of length n of the Sturmian word. This parameter is central to combinatorics of words. Having fixed a possible length n for the factors, we let α to be drawn uniformly from the unit interva...

conclusions the use of tdf in patients with hbeag-negative chb seemed to be a highly cost-effective strategy. compared with the other available medication options, tdf was the most cost-saving strategy. thus, tdf may be the best option as a first-line medication. patients can also be switched from other medications to tdf. results the results revealed that the tdf treatment strategy was more ef...

Bayesian probabilistic analysis offers a new approach to characterize semantic representations by inferring the most likely feature structure directly from the patterns of brain activity. In this study, infinite latent feature models [1] are used to recover the semantic features that give rise to the brain activation vectors when people think about properties associated with 60 concrete concept...

We provide a probabilistic analysis of the output of Quicksort when comparisons can err.

Infinite groups have been used for cryptography since about twenty years ago. However, it has not been so fruitful as using finite groups. An important reason seems the lack of research on building a solid mathematical foundation for the use of infinite groups in cryptography. As a first step for this line of research, this paper pays attention to a property, the so-called right-invariance, whi...

the behavior of earth dams has particular complexities against dynamic forces and its assessment requiresdetailed and scientific analysis. the farrokhi earth dam is a heterogeneous type with vertical clay core, built 150 km away from birjand and 41 km away from qaen on the farrokhi river. there are concernsregarding the stability of this dam in the event of a future severe earthquake especially...

A discrete model, inspired by publication activity, is introduced. It includes an increasing number of objects equipped with positive weights, which also increase with time. The random evolution of the model is driven by a weight dependent dynamics in such a way that the empirical weight distribution converges weakly with probability 1, and the limit law has a regularly varying tail. The probab...
