We compare the rate of kinetic energy injected by stellar winds into the extragalactic H ii region NGC 2363 to the luminosity needed to feed the observed temperature fluctuations. The kinetic luminosity associated to the winds is estimated by means of two different evolutionary synthesis codes, one of which takes into account the statistical fluctuations expected in the Initial Mass Function. W...

We used the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to search for globular clusters in the inner regions of the nearby giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128. This galaxy is believed to be the product of a merger between a large elliptical galaxy and a small late-type spiral between 160 and 500 Myr ago. We identified 21 globular cluster candidates and measured their core radii...

AQP11 is a member of a new aquaporin subfamily which includes many aquaporin homologs with low amino acid identities, around 20% of previously identified AQPs. Although these AQPs have unusual NPA sequences, these AQPs have a completely conserved and functionally indispensable cysteine residue downstream of the second NPA box, suggesting that they belong to a specific AQP subfamily, which we pr...

classifying customers using data mining algorithms, enables banks to keep old customers loyality while attracting new ones. using decision tree as a data mining technique, we can optimize customer classification provided that the appropriate decision tree is selected. in this article we have presented an appropriate model to classify customers who use internet banking service. the model is deve...

The purpose of this study is to reduce the uncertainty of early stage startups success prediction and filling the gap of previous studies in the field, by identifying and evaluating the success variables and developing a novel business success failure (S/F) data mining classification prediction model for Iranian start-ups. For this purpose, the paper is seeking to extend Bill Gross and Robert L...
