The analysis of the fluorescence decay using discrete exponential components assumes that a small number of species is present. In the absence of a definite kinetic model or when a large number of species is present, the exponential analysis underestimates the uncertainty of the recovered lifetime values. A different approach to determine the lifetime of a population of molecules is the use of ...

One important function of the discussion forums of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is for students to post problems they are unable to resolve and receive help from their peers and instructors. There are a large proportion of threads that are not resolved to the satisfaction of the students for various reasons. In this paper, we attack this problem by firstly constructing a conceptual model...

Single-cell and single-transcript measurement methods have elevated our ability to understand engineer biological systems. However, defining comparing performance between remains a challenge, in part due the confounding effects of experimental variability. Here, we propose generalizable framework for performing multiple parallel using split samples, so that variability is shared methods. We dem...

While the uniform linear array (ULA) is a well-known configuration being widely used in various practical application scenarios, it also encounters numerous challenges field of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. Specifically, difficult for ULA to achieve satisfactory DOA estimation accuracy, especially case closely spaced sources. That because that resolvability severely restricted by its l...

Following guidance from the Organizing Committee, the authors give a brief introduction to the theory of spaces which are resolvable in the sense introduced by Hewitt (1943). The new results presented here are these. (A) A countably compact regular Hausdorff space without isolated points is w-resolvable--that is, it admits an infinite family of pairwise disjoint dense subsets. (B) Among Tychono...

Supertree methods are used to construct a large tree over a large set of taxa, from a set of small trees over overlapping subsets of the complete taxa set. Since accurate reconstruction methods are currently limited to a maximum of few dozens of taxa, the use of a supertree method in order to construct the tree of life is inevitable. Supertree methods are broadly divided according to the input ...

Three experiments investigated the relationship between harmonic number, harmonic resolvability, and the perception of harmonic complexes. Complexes with successive equal-amplitude sine- or random-phase harmonic components of a 100- or 200-Hz fundamental frequency (f0) were presented dichotically, with even and odd components to opposite ears, or diotically, with all harmonics presented to both...

This study is to examine if typological universals built upon primary languages are applicable to interlanguage data in SLA. Implicational universal is considered the classic example of a typological universal by Croft (2003). Thus, the Interlanguage Structural Conformity Hypothesis, which consists of two implicational universals proposed by Eckman (1991), were tested against data from an inter...
