Epoxy resin (EP) is a thermosetting with prominent performances and wide applications. However, the inherent brittleness limits its development in engineering materials area. A liquid bio-based polyester polyol (LLP) flexible long chains was synthesized this study by melt polycondensation of corn straw lignin. After being compounded EP (LLP/EP), mechanical property, micromorphology thermal beha...

PURPOSE Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a devastating disease. Recent studies suggest that the stem cell properties of GBM contribute to the development of therapy resistance. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The expression of Survivin and Ran was evaluated by immunohistochemistry with GBM tissues, and quantitative reverse transcriptase (qRT)-PCR and immunocytochemistry with patient-derived GBM sphere cu...

the problem of discrimination between two stationary ar(p) plus noise processes is consideredwhen the noise process are different in two models. the discrimination rule leads to a quadratic form withcumbersome matrices. an approximate and analytic form is given to distribution of the discriminant. thesimulation study has been used to show the performance of discrimination rule. the cumulants of...

In this paper, we consider Bayesian estimation and model determination for two-way contingency tables. The analysis is based on partitioning the parameter space of a saturated log-linear model into parameter subspaces identiied by considering the natural symmetries of the data. Prior distributions may then be chosen to respect invariance restrictions required by the available prior information....

In this paper, we present a novel deformation-aware discriminative model for handwritten digit recognition. Unlike previous approaches our model directly considers image deformations and allows discriminative training of all parameters, including those accounting for non-linear transformations of the image. This is achieved by extending a log-linear framework to incorporate a latent deformation...

Based on a general framework for computing the aggregate human capital stock under heterogeneity across population cohorts, the paper derives the “true” functional relationship between the aggregate human capital stock, average years of schooling, and average work experience. Under the scenarios considered here, the macro-Mincer (log-linear) functional relationship between these variables is ob...
