A 50 year old female patient demonstrated double peaks of albumin on serum protein electrophoresis (SPE). Patient's detailed medical history was taken and investigations were carried out to rule out systemic causes. Serum electrophoresis was also done on 5 of patient's children. Mixing studies were performed in gradually decreasing concentration of bisalbuminemic serum. Hereditary Bisalbuminaem...

The paper is devoted to development of control algorithms for nonlinear parametrically uncertain systems. Original system dynamics is approximated by a set of local NARX models combined by a special mixing rule. Algorithm for local models’ parameters estimation and structure adjustment has been developed. Proposed approach allows straightforward designing of the combined feedforward/feedback co...

We summarize three alternative extensions of the quark-valence picture of nucleon strangeness and spin, including (1) gluon spin in QCD, (2) Bjorken sum rule and QCD, (3) D–E meson mixing and tadpole leakage. All three approaches suggest that ∼ 40% of the nucleon’s spin (as well as its momentum) resides with quarks, but that less than 6% is due to strange quarks.

We propose the use of nonlinear four-wave mixing as a means of trapping light in a defect state in a nonuniform fiber grating. The amount of energy deposited is estimated by use of an approach similar to Fermi's "golden rule" and is approximately 30 fJ for realistic grating parameters and a pulsed pump of 100-ps width.

A two mixing angle description of the pseudoscalar decay constants associated to the η-η ′ system is used to parametrize the theoretical amplitudes of the radiative decays (η, η ′) → γγ and the coupling constants g V (η,η ′)γ with V = ρ, ω, φ. The parametrization is performed in both the " octet-singlet " basis and the " quark-flavour " basis. An excellent agreement with the most recent experim...

In this Brief Report we investigate the multiscale hydrodynamical response of a liquid as a function of mixture composition. This is done via a series of molecular dynamics simulations in which the wave-vector-dependent viscosity kernel is computed for three mixtures, each with 7-15 different compositions. We observe that the viscosity kernel is dependent on composition for simple atomic mixtur...

I review two subjects in which lattice simulations are making, or can make in the future, a significant contribution to particle physics phenomenology. The first subject is the evaluation of quantities which enter into the determination of the vertex A of the unitarity triangle from experimental measurements of decay rates and mixing amplitudes. These quantities include the form-factors for sem...

This paper is devoted to an in-depth study of cellular automaton rule 180 under the framework of symbolic dynamics. Rule 180, a member of Wolfram’s class IV and Chua’s hyper Bernoulli shift rules, defines infinite number of generalized sub-shifts. An effective method of constructing the shift invariant sets of the rule’s global map is proposed. It is noted that this method is also applicable to...

In Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN), Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) is used to improve performance of spectrum sensing techniques used for detection of licensed (Primary) user’s signal. In CSS, the spectrum sensing information from multiple unlicensed (Secondary) users are combined to take final decision about presence of primary signal. The mixing techniques used to generate final decision a...

In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of the aqueous mixed electrolyte system containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIm]Cl) and NaCl are reported based on the potentiometric method. The potentiometric measurements were performed on the galvanic cells without liquid junction of the type:Ag-AgCl [BMIm]Cl (m1), NaCl(m2), H2O│IL-...
