MOTIVATION Very large studies are required to provide sufficiently big sample sizes for adequately powered association analyses. This can be an expensive undertaking and it is important that an accurate sample size is identified. For more realistic sample size calculation and power analysis, the impact of unmeasured aetiological determinants and the quality of measurement of both outcome and ex...

The paper presents QCAMP, a cube-based algorithm for minimization of single Boolean functions. The algorithm does not generate all the prime cubes, nor does it require the Off-set of the function. Two significant contributions of QCAMP are the UNATE-TEST which tests if a given function is a unaie function, .and the BISECT procedure which minimizes a cyclic function without taking recourse t o b...

A set of six espresso coffees with different foam characteristics and similar above cup and in-mouth flavour sensory profiles was produced by combination of two varying parameters, the extraction pressure and the filtration of the coffee beverage. The coffees were subsequently evaluated in a comparative manner by a set of analytical (headspace, nose-space) and sensory (Temporal Dominance of Sen...

None of the available minimizers for 2-level hazard-free logic minimization can synthesize very large circuits. This limitation has forced researchers to resort to manual and automated circuit partitioning techniques. This paper introduces two new 2-level logic minimizers: Espresso-HF, a heuristic method which is loosely based on Espresso-II, and Impymin, an exact method based on implicit data ...

This report demonstrates the e ectiveness of logic minimization in learning from examples. Initially the paper reviews logic minimization and relates it with learning. To support logic minimization we present a system (called LML), the core of which derives from the implementation of the Espresso-II algorithm (Brayton et al., 1984). Espresso-II is popular in VLSI synthesis and design. We show t...

Figure 1: The lipid model. This tutorial introduces the mbtools package, which provides an ESPRESSO implementation of the mesoscopic membrane model of Cooke et al.1 This coarse grained (CG) model has a fairly low resolution (three beads per lipid molecule) and, moreover, eliminates the embedding solvent entirely. While not being a good choice for questions that depend critically on chemically s...

هدف: هدف از این پژوهش بررسی واسطه‌­ای راهبردهای سازش نایافته تنظیم شناختی هیجان در رابطه باورهای فراشناختی با اضطراب امتحان بود. روش: روش حاضر توصیفی و نوع همبستگی جامعه آماری را کلیه دانش‌­آموزان پسر دوره دوم متوسطه شهر تهران سال تحصیلی 1401-1400 تشکیل دادند که تعداد 456 نفر به نمونه‏‌گیری دسترس انتخاب شرکت کردند. ابزارها شامل سیاهه ابوالقاسمی همکاران (1375)، پرسشنامه باکو دیگران (2009)، فرم ک...

این پژوهش با الهام گرفتن از نتایج یک طرح مطالعاتی کاربردی، رویکرد سلسله­‌مراتبی جهت پیگیری فرایند توسعه تأمین‌کنندگان و حمایت تصمیمات موجود در هر مراحل آن ارائه‌ می‌کند. ابتدا، زمینه‌های تأمین نیازمند سپس واجد شرایط هریک زمینه‌ها به کمک تصمیم‌گیری چندشاخصه بهترین-بدترین مشخص می‌گردند. معیارهای شناسایی نیز مرور مطالعات پیشین بهره‌گیری نظرات خبرگان حوزه‌ی خرید استخراج‌شده‌اند. درنهایت، مدل ریاضی ...

The objective of the research was to evaluate antioxidant activity, phenols and volatile compounds different types coffee infusions. We worked with Catimor variety used five methods obtain infusion (espresso, V60, siphon, French press a traditional local method). For each infusion, capacity determined 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl 2,2′-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid techniques,...
