Within the framework of chiral perturbation theory with virtual photons and leptons, we present an updated analysis of the pionic beta decay including all electromagnetic contributions of order ep. We discuss the extraction of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix element |Vud| from experimental data. The method employed here is consistent with the analogous treatment of the Kl3 decays and the d...

While some researchers have questioned the efficacy of corrective feedback (CF), other researchers believe that CF can be effective if implemented through new technology types, including e-portfolio (EP). However, whether EP can be used as a medium of providing CF for language learners at different levels of language proficiency is still unknown. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was...

The isospin-dependent component of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction that causes the ∆T = 1 (p, p’) and (p, n) reactions off nuclei is studied. It is shown that the corrections to the impulse approximation comes from the g-matrix type correction and the rearrangement term. They are numerically estimated with the isospin-asymmetric nuclear-matter reaction matrix approach. The analysis of...

The film-cooling performance of a 2.5D braided ceramic matrix composite (CMC) plate with preformed holes was numerically studied. Four numerical models containing structures were established: one model through fiber extrusion deformation (EP-Hole), directly woven fibers (WP-Hole), and two drilled (DP-Hole1,2). Besides, the influence ratio between equivalent thermal conductivities on axial radia...

PGE(2) is a potent stimulator of renin release. So far, the contribution of each of the four PGE(2) receptor subtypes (EP(1)-EP(4)) in the regulation of renin release has not been characterized. Therefore, we investigated the effects PGE(2) on renin secretion rates (RSR) from isolated, perfused kidneys of EP(1)-/-, EP(2)-/-, EP(3)-/-, EP(4)-/-, and wild-type mice. PGE(2) concentration dependent...

The present environmental condition indicates the immediate need for sustainable materials containing mainly natural elements composite fabrication. Encouragement of fibers in can significantly reduce greenhouse effect and high cost manufacturing synthetic fiber-based polymer composites. Hence, this study aimed to investigate physio-mechanical properties banana fiber (BF) -based epoxy (EP) comp...

In this article, we introduce two new generalized inverses for rectangular matrices called $W$-weighted generalized-Drazin--Moore--Penrose (GDMP) and generalized-Drazin-reflexive (GDR) inverses. The first inverse can be seen as a generalization of the recently introduced GDMP square matrix to matrix. second class contains inverse. We then exploit their various properties establish that proposed...

This note contains supplementary materials to Kernel Mean Estimation via Spectral Filtering. 1 Proof of Theorem 1 (i) Since μ̌λ = μ̂ λ λ+1 = μ̂P λ+1 , we have ‖μ̌λ − μP‖ = ∥∥∥∥ μ̂P λ+ 1 − μP ∥∥∥∥ ≤ ∥∥∥∥ μ̂P λ+ 1 − μP λ+ 1 ∥∥∥∥+ ∥∥∥∥ μP λ+ 1 − μP ∥∥∥∥ ≤ ‖μ̂P − μP‖+ λ‖μP‖. From [1], we have that ‖μ̂P − μP‖ = OP(n) and therefore the result follows. (ii) Define ∆ := EP‖μ̂P − μP‖ = ∫ k(x,x) dP(x)−‖μP‖ 2 n . ...

Simultaneous iteration methods are extensions of the power method that were devised for approximating several dominant eigenvalues of a matrix and the corresponding eigenvectors. The convergence analysis of these methods has been given for both hermitian and nonhermitian matrices. In this paper we concentrate on normal matrices which include also the hermitian matrices, and provide a rigorous a...

Linear Complementarity Problems (LC Ps) belong to the class of NP-complete problems. Therefore we cannot expect a polynomial time solution method for LC Ps without requiring some special property of the coefficient matrix. Our aim is to construct interior point algorithms which, according to the duality theorem in EP (Existentially Polynomialtime) form, in polynomial time either give a solution...
