International Peacebuilding: A Theoretical and Quantitative Analysis

International peacebuilding can improve the prospects that a civil war will be resolved. Although peacebuilding strategies must be designed to address particular conflicts, broad parameters that fit most conflicts can be identified. Strategies should address the local roots of hostility; the local capacities for change; and the (net) specific degree of international commitment available to assi...

Quantitative analysis of diffusion tensor orientation: theoretical framework.

Diffusion-tensor MRI (DT-MRI) yields information about the magnitude, anisotropy, and orientation of water diffusion of brain tissues. Although white matter tractography and eigenvector color maps provide visually appealing displays of white matter tract organization, they do not easily lend themselves to quantitative and statistical analysis. In this study, a set of visual and quantitative too...

QUANTITATIVE L 2 ERROR ANALYSIS FOR INTERPOLATIONMETHODS AND WAVELET EXPANSIONSThierry

| Our goal in this paper is to set a theoretical basis for the comparison of re-sampling and interpolation methods. We consider the general problem of the approximation of an arbitrary continuously-deened function f(x) |not necessarily bandlimited| when we vary the sampling step T. We present an accurate L 2 computation of the induced approximation error as a function of T for a general class o...

Title: Theoretical uncertainty of measurements using quantitative PCR Running Title: Quantitative PCR theoretical uncertainty

Current quantitative PCR protocols are only indicative of the relative quantity of a target sequence to a standard since no means of estimating the amplification rate is available as yet. The variability of PCR performed on isolated cells has already been reported by several authors, but it could not be extensively studied due to lack of a system for doing kinetic data acquisition and of statis...
