Kernel-to-kernel moisture content (MC) distributions on panicles were measured for rice cultivars Bengal, Cypress, and Drew. Rice panicles in Arkansas were harvested at different stages of maturity from foundation seed fields at two locations with widely varying soils during the autumns of 1998, 1999, and 2000. The objective was to quantify variability of individual rice kernel MCs as affected ...

We investigate surfaces with constant harmonic-mean curvature one (HMC-1 surfaces) in hyperbolic three-space. We allow them to have certain kinds of singularities, and discuss some global properties. As well as flat surfaces and surfaces with constant mean curvature one (CMC-1 surfaces), HMC-1 surfaces belong to a certain class of Weingarten surfaces. From the viewpoint of parallel surfaces, CM...

The hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm is used for Bayesian analysis of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. The HMC algorithm is one of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and it updates all parameters at once. We demonstrate that how the HMC reproduces the GARCH parameters correctly. The algorithm is rather general and it can be applied to other ...

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) may represent a new epigenetic modification of cytosine. While the dynamics of 5-hmC during neurodevelopment have recently been reported, little is known about its genomic distribution and function(s) in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease (HD). We here observed a marked reduction of the 5-hmC signal in YAC128 (yeast artificial chromosome tran...

Six ruminally and duodenally cannulated yearling steers (523 kg) were used in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square design experiment to study the effects of corn processing on nutrient digestion, bacterial CP production, and ruminal fermentation. Dietary treatments consisted of 90% concentrate diets that were based on dry-rolled (DRC), high-moisture (HMC), or steam-flaked (SFC) corn. Each diet conta...

fab (french – american- british) group determined a diagnostic classification for leukemia's. but in spite of some reports on different clinical findings and prognosis of hmc and lgl there is no place for hand- mirror cell leukemia and lgl leukemia in this classification. on the other hand, there are different ideas about causes of hand mirror cell and about different changes of large granlar l...

I discuss the behaviour of algorithms for dynamical fermions as the sea-quark mass decreases. I focus on the Hybrid-Monte-Carlo (HMC) algorithm applied to two degenerate flavours of Wilson fermions. First, I briefly review the performance obtained in large scale HMC simulations. Then I discuss a modified pseudo-fermion action for the HMC simulation that has been introduced three years ago. I su...

The restoration of a hidden process X from an observed process Y is often performed in the framework of hidden Markov chains (HMC). HMC have been recently generalized to triplet Markov chains (TMC). In the TMC model one introduces a third random chain U and assumes that the triplet T = (X,U, Y ) is a Markov chain (MC). TMC generalize HMC but still enable the development of efficient Bayesian al...

Melanomas in the vertical growth phase (VGP) not infrequently demonstrate cellular heterogeneity. One commonly encountered subpopulation displays small cell/nevoid morphology. Although its significance remains unknown, such subpopulations may pose diagnostic issues when faced with differentiating such changes from associated nevus or mistaking such regions for nevic maturation (pseudomaturation...

The echocardiographic findings of eight patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without outflow obstruction (HMC) and of 15 normal (Norm) individuals are presented. The characteristic features in HMC were: (1) interventricular septal width much greater than normal (HMC= 2.5 + 0.3 cm, Norm = 1.0 + 0.2 cm, P <0.005); (2) normal or only slightly increased posterior left ventricular wall thicknes...
