It is known that a left C-wrpp semigroup can be described as curler structure of a left band and a C-wrpp semigroup. In this paper, we introduce the class of weakly left C-wrpp semigroups which includes the class of weakly left C-rpp semigroups as a subclass. We shall particularly show that the spined product of a left C-wrpp semigroup and a right normal band is a weakly left C-wrpp semifroup. ...

A generalized Mehler semigroup (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup) associated with some strongly continuous semigroup of linear operators on a real separable Hilbert space may be defined by using a skew convolution semigroup. Under a mild moment assumption, it is proved that the characteristic functional of any centered skew convolution semigroup is absolutely continuous and characterizations are gi...

In this paper we characterize when a Cayley automaton semigroup is a group, is trivial, is finite, is free, is a left zero semigroup, or is a right zero semigroup.

In this paper we combine results from [1] and [3] in order to determine the relationship between the deficiency of a group G and the deficiency of a Rees matrix semigroup S over G; in particular, we investigate how the efficiency of S depends on the efficiency of G. We start by defining semigroup and group presentations. Let A be an alphabet. We denote by A the free semigroup on A consisting of...

BACKGROUND There is a need to better understand the perceived experiences of workers in green buildings as the literature to this point has been mixed. OBJECTIVES To re-evaluate occupant experiences within a LEED platinum building and investigate current experiences in general. METHODS An online post occupancy evaluation (POE) survey of 62 occupants of LEED Platinum building on a US college...

OBJECTIVE To describe the perceptions of diverse professionals involved in computerized physician order entry (POE) at sites where POE has been successfully implemented and to identify differences between teaching and nonteaching hospitals. DESIGN A multidisciplinary team used observation, focus groups, and interviews with clinical, administrative, and information technology staff to gather d...

Probability of error based Spatial Code Division Multiple Access scheduling algorithm is presented in this paper to systematically reuse the orthogonal CDMA codes in a given cell for Multihop Cellular Network. We assign and reuse the CDMA codes to peer-to-peer links such that the probability of error in all scheduled links are below certain threshold. The proposed scheduling algorithm PoE-LinkS...

In this paper, we propose a model integration method for hidden Markov model (HMM) and deep neural network (DNN) based acoustic models using a product-of-experts (PoE) framework in statistical parametric speech synthesis. In speech parameter generation, DNN predicts a mean vector of the probability density function of speech parameters frame by frame while keeping its covariance matrix constant...

BACKGROUND The minimal invasive investigation of solitary pulmonary nodules becomes increasingly important with the emergence of lung cancer screening. OBJECTIVES We report the results of the first utilization of a recently developed procedure in a bronchoscopy suite, which approaches solitary pulmonary nodules via a transparenchymal path. METHODS This study was a prospective, single-arm in...
