Hoeffding (1948a) developed the basic theory of U-Statistics, a family of estimates which includes many familiar and interesting examples. This lecture reviews this theory. Standard references for the material presented here include Serfling (1980, Chapter 5), Lehmman (1999, Chapter 6) and van der Vaart (1998, Chapters 11 & 12). The basic theory of U-Statistics allows for a presentation of larg...

ureaplasma urealyticum can colonize women genital tract and be isolated from the amniotic fluid of women with adverse pregnancy outcomes. the association of u. urealyticum with spontaneous abortion remains controversial. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of u. urealyticum infection among pregnant women and its association with spontaneous abortion.in this case-control study we...

Let G be a simple connected graph. The first and second Zagreb indices have been introduced as  vV(G) (v)2 M1(G) degG and M2(G)  uvE(G)degG(u)degG(v) , respectively, where degG v(degG u) is the degree of vertex v (u) . In this paper, we define a new distance-based named HyperZagreb as e uv E(G) . (v))2 HM(G)     (degG(u)  degG In this paper, the HyperZagreb index of the Cartesian p...

A technique is described for the simultaneous and controlled random mutation of all three heavy or light chain complementaritj-determining regions (CDRs) in a single-chain Fv specific for the 0 polysaccharide of SalmoneUla serogroup B. Sense oligonucleotides were synthesized such that the central bases encoding a CDR were randomized by equimolar spiking with A, G, C, and T at a level of 10%/1 w...

As deep learning algorithms are widely adopted, an increasing number of them positioned in embedded application domains with strict reliability constraints. The expenditure significant resources to satisfy performance requirements neural network accelerators has thinned out the margins for delivering safety applications, thus precluding adoption conventional fault tolerance methods. potential e...
