takotsubo or stress-induced cardiomyopathy is a cardiomyopathy in which the patient has a sudden onset, reversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction without any significant coronary artery disease. four women, who were at a mean age of 64 years and suffered from chest pain exacerbated by emotional stress, were admitted as cases of acute coronary syndrome and were completely evaluated throug...

Most Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures use a single communication model for sharing of data, propagation of tasking, and negotiation for services. We describe the Cougaar distributed multi-tiered MAS infrastructure which uses different communication techniques at each tier to gain large-scale parallelization, scalability and asynchronous operation without sacrificing the ability to support...

In recent years there has been a great deal of interest developed ’ Connectionist/Neural Networks (CNNb; These are networks of simple processors where the network state is represented by the outputs of the processors and the strengths of the connections between them. They are characterized by asynchrony, a high degree of connectivity, and good fault tolerance. CNNs are seen as providing solutio...

Let A⊆B be a ring extension and G set of A-submodules B. We introduce class closure operations on (which we call multiplicative (A,B,G)) that generalizes the classes star, semistar semiprime operations. study how Mult(A,B,G) these varies when A, B or vary, behaves under homomorphisms. As an application, show to reduce star analytically unramified one-dimensional Noetherian domains closures fini...

The present paper analyzes optimal bidding in discriminatory and competitive multi{unit auctions when bidders have price elastic demand functions. Distinctions are drawn between bidders who are either rms or consumers, and bidders who are either risk neutral or risk averse. Assuming price{ taking bidders who face a given probability distribution of the stop{out price, closed{form solutions of o...

This paper describes the outline of collecting and transcribing spontaneous spoken dialogues for VERBMOBIL, the German research project on mult ilingual processing of spontaneous speech. The method and conditions of data collection performed using the same scenario and the transliteration convention of spontaneous speech were described. The characteristics of VERBMOBIL corpus were presented in ...

We present a new formulation of fast Fourier transformation (FFT) kernels for radix 2, 3, 4, and 5, which have a perfect balance of multiplies and adds. These kernels give higher performance on machines that have a single multiply–add (mult–add) instruction. We demonstrate the superiority of this new kernel on IBM and SGI workstations. Key word. FFT kernels AMS subject classifications. 65-04, 4...

Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes and play a significant role in their evolution. In this study, we have identified new prokaryotic DDE transposase families related to the eukaryotic Mutator-like transposases. These genes were retrieved by cascade PSI-Blast using as initial query the transposase of the streptococcal integrative and conju...
