The randomized group-greedy (RGG) method and its customized for large-scale sensor selection problems are proposed. greedy algorithm is applied straightforwardly to the (GG) method, a also considered. In part of compressed candidates selected using common or other low-cost methods. This strategy compensates deterioration solution due candidates. proposed methods implemented based on D- E-optima...

Fruit size regulation was studied in the apple cultivar 'Gala' and a large fruit size spontaneous mutant of 'Gala', 'Grand Gala' (GG). GG fruits were 15% larger in diameter and 38% heavier than 'Gala' fruits, largely due to an increase in size of the fruit cortex. The mutation in GG altered growth prior to fruit set and during fruit development. Prior to fruit set, the carpel/floral-tube size w...

The integrity and security of fingerprint images can be achieved by using watermarking techniques. We introduce Maximum-Likelihood (ML) watermark detection method to detect an invisible watermark within discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients of fingerprint images. Such an optimum technique, which is based on Bayes’ decision theory and the Neyman-Pearson criterion, requires parameters of ...

BACKGROUND Prothrombin (FII) G20210A mutation and elevated plasma prothrombin activity are known risk factors for venous thrombosis. The risk of venous thrombosis among 19911G carriers of the prothrombin A19911G polymorphism has not been extensively investigated. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS We assessed prothrombin activity, FIIG20210A, and FIIA19911G polymorphisms in a large population-based case-...

The meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) on maintenance warfarin dose. 8 studies were included, focusing on the impact of GGCX single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on mean daily warfarin dose (MDWD). GGCX (rs699664; AA versus GG, GA versus GG, A versus GG) and GGCX (rs12714145; GA versus GG, AA versus GG, A versus GG) showed no significant...

We present sub-arcsecond images of the mm dust emission and 13CO J=2–1 line emission in the young quadruple system GG Tau. These observations unambiguously resolve the circumbinary disk of the close (∼ 0.3′′) binary system into two distinct components: an extremely dense, sharp-edged ring, surrounded by an extended disk. Continuum emission is also detected from the center of this structure; it ...

The differences in efficacy and molecular mechanisms of platinum based anti-cancer drugs cisplatin (CP) and oxaliplatin (OX) have been hypothesized to be in part due to the differential binding affinity of cellular and damage recognition proteins to CP and OX adducts formed on adjacent guanines in genomic DNA. HMGB1a in particular exhibits higher binding affinity to CP-GG adducts, and the exten...

Abstract This paper deals with some analytic aspects of GG system introduced by I.M. Gelfand and M.I. Graev: we compute the dimension solution space over field meromorphic functions periodic respect to a lattice. We describe monodromy invariant subspace space. provide connection formula between pair bases consisting $\Gamma $-series solutions associated regular triangulations adjacent each othe...

Tonic and phasic inspiratory genioglossus (GG) electromyographic activity (EMG) was recorded from 13 anesthetized rabbits during unstimulated breathing. Integrated GG EMG peaked earlier in inspiration and presented a more rounded contour than integrated diaphragmatic (DIA) EMG. Spontaneous augmented deep inspirations (sighs) showed a biphasic pattern in both GG and DIA EMGs. Hyperventilation ab...
