since many time series are not normal, it is required to normalize data by transformation functions prior to any analysis and modeling. in this study, the next month rainfall of abadeh county station was predicted using the average monthly rainfall, minimum and maximum temperatures and minimum and maximum humidity as inputs of mlp network, both normally and raw, at period 1976 to 2013. after sc...

We prove that for every reductive group G with a maximal torus T and Weyl group W there is a natural normalization map χ from T/W to an irreducible component, X 0 G(Z ), of the G-character variety XG(Z ) of Z . We prove that this component is reduced and that χ is an isomorphism for classical groups. Additionally, we prove that even though there are no irreducible representations of Z into redu...

Ngcibi, Murali and Makamba [Fuzzy subgroups of rank two abelian$p$-group, Iranian J. of Fuzzy Systems {bf 7} (2010), 149-153]considered the number of fuzzy subgroups of a finite abelian$p$-group $mathbb{Z}_{p^m}times mathbb{Z}_{p^n}$ of rank two, andgave explicit formulas for the cases when $m$ is any positiveinteger and $n=1,2,3$. Even though their method can be used for thecases when $n=4,5,l...

We show that separable, simple, nonelementary, unital C∗-algebras with finite decomposition rank absorb the Jiang–Su algebra Z tensorially. This has a number of consequences for Elliott’s program to classify nuclear C∗algebras by their K-theory data. In particular, it completes the classification of C∗-algebras associated to uniquely ergodic, smooth, minimal dynamical systems by their ordered K...

Mammography is the most common and effective breast cancer screening test. However, the rate of positive findings is very low, making the radiologic interpretation monotonous and biased toward errors. This work presents a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) method aimed to automatically triage mammogram sets. The method coregisters the left and right mammograms, extracts image features, and classif...

Background—We prospectively investigated lepirudin for further parenteral anticoagulation in patients with heparininduced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Methods and Results—Patients with confirmed HIT (n5112) received lepirudin according to need for 2 to 10 days (longer if necessary): A1, treatment: 0.4 mg/kg IV bolus, followed by 0.15 mg z kg z h intravenous infusion, n565; A2, treatment in conjuncti...
