Let A be a noetherian AS regular Koszul quiver algebra (if A is commutative, it is essentially a polynomial ring), and grA the category of finitely generated graded left A-modules. Following Jørgensen, we define the CastelnuovoMumford regularity reg(M•) of a complex M• ∈ D(grA) in terms of the local cohomologies or the minimal projective resolution of M•. Let A be the quadratic dual ring of A. ...

The present study aimed to examine the association of trait anxiety and social desirability (SOD) with granulocyte (GRA) and lymphocyte (LYM) counts in healthy adults. Subjects were 23 (9 males and 14 females) eligible adults. Trait anxiety and SOD were assessed using the Anxiety and Lie Scores of the Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS), respectively. White blood cells were counted by flow cytometry. ...

In this paper, we present a coding theorem for the ensemble of Generalized Repeat Accumulate (GRA m) codes. These codes are the serial concatenation of a terminated convolutional code and m interleaved rate-1 accumulatee codes. This theorem generalizes the results of 1] and 2] by considering outer codes with d f ree = 2 and multiple accumulatee codes. For outer codes with d f ree ≥ 2, it proves...

The performance assessment of professional baseball starting pitchers is considered a multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problem. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to evaluate starting pitcher performance for teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The AHP is used to determine attribute weights,...

Mirabegron, which was the first β3-adrenoceptor agonist introduced for use in clinical practice, has been extensively evaluated in overactive bladder (OAB) patients in several phase II and III studies. However, most of the enrolled patients were treatment naive or had experienced a wash-out period before the introduction of mirabegron. No study has reported the treatment results of a direct swi...

To improve the market competitiveness of enterprises in the manufacturing industry, some of them involve picking the most appropriate strategies among multiple available alternatives. However, no single alternative works is suitable for all evaluation criteria which must be considered during the selection processes. This paper proposes a new hybrid MCDM method using design of experiment (DoE) a...

Microglia are intrinsic immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). The under controlled microglia activation plays important roles in inflammatory demyelination diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the means to modulate microglia activation as a therapeutic modality and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show that administration of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (G...

Recently, grey relational analysis (GRA) has been widely applied in analyzing multivariate time series data (MTS); as a solution to the traditional statistical limitations. GRA, which has been proven to be simple and accurate method for analysing relationship in MTS are broadly used in various disciplines such as economics, sociology and engineering. GRA is employed to search for grey relationa...

Effects of different feeding frequencies on growth performance, preprandial metabolic parameters, and endocrine traits were studied in calves up to 28 d after birth and respective postprandial changes were investigated on d 3 and 7. Calves were fed with a computer-programmed automate that allowed frequent daily intakes (GrA; n = 7) or were fed twice daily by bucket (GrB; n = 7) the same daily a...
