We prove some results on the kernel of the Abel transform on an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space X = G=K with G noncompact and complex, in particular an estimate of this kernel. We also study the behaviour of spherical functions near the walls of Weyl chambers. We show how these harmonic spherical analysis results lead to a new proof of a central limit theorem of Guivarc'h and Raugi in th...

mohammad tâher mirza eskandari est l’un des traducteurs des dernières années du règne de nasser-ed din chah et des premières années de celui de mozaffar-ed din chah. jusqu’avant l’établissement de la constitution en iran la traduction des œuvres d’alexandre dumas était le monopole de mohammad tâher mirza. ses compétences scientifiques et littéraires faisaient que le monarque, son héritier du tr...

BACKGROUND Asymptomatic malaria infection provides a reservoir of parasites, causing the persistence of malaria transmission. It accounts an important challenge for successful management of the control, elimination, and eradication programmes in any malaria-endemic region. This investigation was designed to assess the presence and the prevalence of asymptomatic carriers in Iranshahr district of...

On the basis of comprehensive RFLP analysis, it has been inferred that approximately 97% of Native American mtDNAs belong to one of four major founding mtDNA lineages, designated haplogroups "A"-"D." It has been proposed that a fifth mtDNA haplogroup (haplogroup X) represents a minor founding lineage in Native Americans. Unlike haplogroups A-D, haplogroup X is also found at low frequencies in m...

The Chah-Bagh gold occurrence is located in Muteh mining district, in the central part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Gold mineralization occurs in ductile to ductile-brittle shear zones and is comparable with orogenic gold deposits. Silicification and sulfidization are the most important hydrothermal alteration features in the inner parts of altered shear zones and coincide most closely with the...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype diversity was determined for 46 Ngöbé Amerinds sampled widely across their geographic range in western Panamá. The Ngöbé data were compared with mtDNA control region I sequences from two additional Amerind groups located at the northern and southern extremes of Amerind distribution, the Nuu-Chah-Nulth of the Pacific Northwest and the Chilean Mapuche and from ...

Natasha Shur, MD, Shelly Gunn MD, PhD, Lloyd Feit, MD, Albert K. Oh, MD, Yvette Yatchmink, MD, PhD, and Dianne Abuelo, MD  introdUCtion Children with developmental delay and dysmorphic features can present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. One of the newer genetic technologies, known as chromosomal microarray, or array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) has revolutionized our diagno...

Quantum circuits currently constitute a dominant model for quantum computation [14]. Our work addresses the problem of constructing quantum circuits to implement an arbitrary given quantum computation, in the special case of two qubits. We pursue circuits without ancilla qubits and as small a number of elementary quantum gates [1, 15] as possible. Our lower bound for worst-case optimal two-qubi...
