Abstract The nested distance builds on the Wasserstein to quantify difference of stochastic processes, including also evolution information modelled by filtrations. Sinkhorn divergence is a relaxation distance, which can be computed considerably faster. For this reason we employ and take advantage related (fixed point) iteration algorithm. Furthermore, investigate transition entropy throughout ...

Background and Aims: Canine distemper (CD) is a deadly infectious disease of Canidae family. CD is a multi-systemic viral disease and is specified by wide range of clinical symptoms. The manifestations are not always indicative of CD, therefore a laboratory confirmation is necessary for suspected cases. Materials and Methods: Different clinical specimens of 19 CD suspected unvaccinated dogs wer...

Objective(s): There are controversial results regarding the effect of the interaction of CETP polymorphisms with dietary fats on the lipid profiles. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of CETP polymorphisms (rs5882 and rs3764261) and macronutrient intakes interaction in relation to metabolic syndrome (MetS) or its components.Materials and Methods: In this nested case-control study, ...

We provide the first behavioral characterization of nested logit, a foundational and widely applied discrete-choice model, through introduction nonparametric version logit that we call “nested stochastic choice” (NSC). NSC is characterized by single axiom weakens independence irrelevant alternatives on basis revealed similarity to allow for effect. Nested an additional menu-independence axiom. ...

background: all-trans retinol is a biological antioxidantscavenging the ros in the cell culture. objectives: this studywas conducted to investigate the effect of all-trans retinol infertilization and culture medium on mouse embryo's developmentalcompetence. methods: this study was designed into twoexperiments. in the first experiment, in vitro mature oocytes wereco-cultured with sperm in fertil...

a nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assay with two pairs of primers was applied for the detection of m. tuberculosis complex dna in specimens of 51 patients. of these, 31 clinically diagnosed patients (group i) recruited from july 1996 to june 1997 were given antituherculous chemotherapy from one to six months with standard daily regimen (isaniazid, 5 mg/kg; rifampin, 10 mg/kg; pyrazinamit...

In this work we address contributions from scalars to (g − 2)μ. In order to explain the recently measured deviation by the BNL experiment on (g − 2)μ, it is necessary that these scalars are either light or couple strongly with muons. Here we explore this last possibility. We show that a scalar with mass of the order of 10 GeV provides significant contribution to (g − 2)μ if the Yukawa coupling ...

Complex applications consist of a large set of transactions which are interrelated. There are different kinds of dependencies among transactions of a complex application, e.g. termination or execution dependencies which are constraints on the occurrence of significant transaction events. In this paper, we analyze a set of (orthogonal) transaction dependencies. Here, we do not follow traditional...
