Let F = F(t, x) be a bounded, Hausdorff continuous multifunction with compact, totally disconnected values. Given any y0 ∈ F(t0, x0), we show that the differential inclusion ẋ ∈ F(t, x)⊂ Rm has a globally defined classical solution, with x(t0)= x0, ẋ(t0)= y0. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We asses the ability of a distance correlation coefficient (DiCC), calculated from distance covariance, for detecting long-range concerted motion in proteins. We establish a set of criteria for ideal correlation coefficient values based on the coefficient of determination in multi-dimension, R2. We compare in detail DiCC and conventional coefficients against these criteria. We demonstrate that ...

Shape is one of the most important visual attributes used to characterize objects, playing a important role in pattern recognition. There are various approaches to extract relevant information of a shape. An approach widely used in shape analysis is the complexity, and Fractal Dimension and Multi-Scale Fractal Dimension are both well-known methodologies to estimate it. This papers presents a co...

Functional Gabor single-frame or multi-frame generator multipliers are the matrices of function entries that preserve Parseval generators. An interesting and natural question is how to characterize all such multipliers. This has been answered for several special cases including case generators in two dimensions one-dimension. In this paper we completely with respect separable time-frequency lat...

Data warehousing or decision support applications need to aggregate data across many dimensions looking for unusual useful patterns. Most of current database languages, such as SQL, only allow users to retrieve the data in zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, or two-dimension aggregates. Applications need the N-dimensional generalization of these operators. Unfortunately current solutions need to...

This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between quality of parental homework involvement and academic functioning in the reading domain (reading score, homework effort, and academic procrastination) among students. The statistical population of the study was comprised of all sixth graders in Ardakan, Yazd Province, in school year 2014-15. The sample consisted of 366 students w...

Advances in networking technology have revitalized agent technology for engineering complex distributed software systems. Nowadays, the agent technology has been applied in a wide range of application domains, including ecommerce, human computer interfaces, telecommunications and concurrent programming. A lot of research has been done on design and development of Multi-agent systems (MAS) but q...

Vision is a sense that humans and most animals rely the most onto. Although this sense seems pretty trivial, the visual stimulus is composed of many different dimensions which makes it very complex to decompose, analyze and understand. Scientists state that roughly half of our brain is used for vision processing, it is therefore a very interesting and intriguing area for researchers as it can p...
