the potential sources of cr (vi) are various effluents from metallurgy, electroplating, leather tanning, textile dyeing, paint, ink, and aluminum manufacturing industries. these industrial effluents can contain cr (vi), in the concentration range of 10 to 100 mg/l (nakano et al 2000), which is much higher than the standard limit; 0.5 mg/l in industrial wastewater (epa). in aqueous systems, chro...

External RNA controls can be an important tool in determining microarray performance. External controls are synthetically produced RNA molecules with corresponding probes on the microarray. Control RNAs can be added to biological samples of interest in defined amounts. When spiked in at different levels between the two channels of a cDNA microarray, they can be used to assess the ability to det...

In this paper, we generalize Fuzzy Banach contraction theorem establishedby V. Gregori and A. Sapena [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 125 (2002) 245-252]using notion of altering distance which was initiated by Khan et al. [Bull. Austral.Math. Soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces.

In this paper, we present a framework for multi-lingual dependency parsing. Our bottom-up deterministic parser adopts Nivre’s algorithm (Nivre, 2004) with a preprocessor. Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are utilized to determine the word dependency attachments. Then, a maximum entropy method (MaxEnt) is used for determining the label of the dependency relation. To improve the performance of the ...

Article history: Received 12 October 2010 Revised 9 December 2010 Accepted 15 December 2010 Available online 28 December 2010 oligomeric peptide. Several cross-sectional or case control epidemiological studies have revealed a tight link between cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins or others) and up to as high as a 70% reduction of risk for the development of AD (Dufouil et al., 2005; Hajjar et a...
