We present a system for efficient indexed querying of XML documents, enhanced with sibling operations. R-tree index proposed in [5] has a very high cost for the following-sibling and precedingsibling axes. We develop a family of index structures, which we refer to as transformed split-tree indexes, to address this problem, in which (i) XML data is horizontally split by a simple, yet efficient c...

Example 1 (Mixture of K Poisson distributions). The sample spaces are X = Z+ := {0, 1, 2, . . . } = and Y = [K] := {1, 2, . . . ,K}. The parameter space is Θ = ∆K−1 × R++, where ∆K−1 := {π = (π1, π2, . . . , πK) ∈ R+ : ∑K j=1 πj = 1}, R+ := {t ∈ R : t ≥ 0}, and R++ := {t ∈ R : t > 0}. Each distribution Pθ in P = {Pθ : θ ∈ Θ} is as follows. If (X,Y ) ∼ Pθ for θ = (π, λ1, λ2, . . . , λK), then Y ...

In this short paper, based on the long range dispersal and environmental carrying capacity, we propose a new SIR epidemic model discuss its dynamic properties. The results show that disease will always spread if basic reproduction number $ \mathcal{R}_0(\theta/b,\,(-h_0,h_0))\ge 1 $; however, when \mathcal{R}_0(\theta/b,\,(-h_0,h_0))<1 $, whether spreading or vanishing depends expansion abil...

We study the wetting by water of complex "hydrophobic-hydrophilic" surfaces made of a hydrophobic substrate covered by a hydrophilic polymer brush. Polystyrene (PS) substrates covered with polystyrene- block-poly(acrylic acid) PS- b-PAA diblock copolymer layers were fabricated by Langmuir-Schaefer depositions and analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ellipsometry. On bare PS substrate, ...

The hydrostatic equilibrium is a prominent topic in fluid dynamics and astrophysics. Understanding the stability of perturbations near Boussinesq system helps gain insight into certain weather phenomena. 2D focused here anisotropic involves only horizontal dissipation thermal diffusion. Due to lack vertical dissipation, precise large-time behavior problem difficult. When spatial domain $${\math...

In this paper, we are interested in studying the existence or non-existence of solutions for a class elliptic problems involving N-Laplacian operator whole space. The nonlinearity considered involves critical Trudinger–Moser growth. Our approach is non-variational, and way can address wide range not yet contained literature. Even $$W^{1,N}({\mathbb {R}} ^N)\hookrightarrow L^\infty ({\mathbb ^N)...

We describe a method for co-estimating r = C/mu (where C is the per-site recombination rate and mu is the per-site neutral mutation rate) and Theta = 4N(e)mu (where N(e) is the effective population size) from a population sample of molecular data. The technique is Metropolis-Hastings sampling: we explore a large number of possible reconstructions of the recombinant genealogy, weighting accordin...

We show how to associate an R-tree to the set of cut points of a continuum. If X is a continuum without cut points we show how to associate an R-tree to the set of cut pairs of X . AMS Classification 54F15,54F05,20F65,20E08
