We relate bosonic density uctuations of a Fermi uid in one dimension to surface uctuations. Thereby we easily identify the parameters governing the low energy, Luttinger liquid behavior. In particular we recover the Haldane relation in case the surface is tilted only transversely to the Euclidean time direction. We develop a hydrodynamic uctuation theory for the world lines of particles. Since ...

A method is presented which optimizes weights of general planar 1D and 2D symmetric full and sparse arrays. The objective is to nd a weighting of the array elements which gives the minimum sidelobe level of the array pattern in a speci ed region the stopband. The sidelobe level is controlled on a discrete set of points from this region. The method minimizes the Chebyshev norm of the sidelobe le...

The prevalences of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have increased among the Navajo Native American community in recent decades. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a novel CVD biomarker that has never been assessed in the Navajo population. We examined the relationship of oxLDL to conventional CVD and T2D risk factors and biomarkers in a cross-sectional population...

CT scan images of human brain of a particular patient in different cross sections are taken, on which wavelet transform and multi-fractal analysis are applied. The vertical and horizontal unfolding of images are done before analyzing these images. A systematic investigation of de-noised CT scan images of human brain in different cross-sections are carried out through wavelet normalized energy a...

Lapatinib is an oral, reversible, dual inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor ErbB1 (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 ErbB2 (HER2). Results of a phase III study comparing lapatinib plus capecitabine with capecitabine alone in women with ErbB2-overexpressing advanced breast cancer previously treated with an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab were reported earl...

If gravitationally bound structures grew from small uctuations in the initial distribution, then the statistics of the initial uctuation eld may be used to estimate many properties of the evolved dark halo distribution. I only consider hierarchical clustering. That is, I assume that mergers are common and fragmentation is not; objects present at any given time were made by mergers of smaller ob...

A technique of uctuation analysis is introduced for the identiication of characteristic length scales in spatial models, with similarities to the recently introduced methods by Rand & Wilson (1995). The identiied length scale provides the optimal size to extract nontrivial large-scale behaviour in such models. The method is demonstrated for three biological models: genetic selection, plant comp...

The uctuation-induced transport of massive Brownian particles is investigated. Analytic approximations for their current in periodic`ratchet'-potential driven additively by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise are in qualitative agreement with the result of numeric simulations. The ability to separate particles with diierent masses in situations with a constant bias is discussed. We consider the one-di...

OBJECTIVES Feeding intolerance (FI) in preterm infants is common but the etiology remains unclear. This study examined FI as a stress-related disease involving brain-gut interactions and tested the model of allostatic load and complications of prematurity. Specific aims were to describe demographic/medical variables and biomarker levels at each time and over time for the sample; describe/compar...

A statistical analysis of texture on the COBE-DMR rst year sky maps based on the genus and spot number is presented. A generalized 2 statistic is de ned in terms of \observable" quantities: the genus and spot density that would be measured by di erent cosmic observers. This strategy together with the use of Monte Carlo simulations of the temperature uctuations, including all the relevant experi...
