The EFAR project has measured peculiar motions in two distant volumes of the universe using Fundamental Plane (FP) distances for 85 clusters with 6000 km s −1 <cz<15000 km s −1. The scatter in distance about the FP is observed to be 20% per galaxy for EFAR sample, resulting in peculiar velocities with a median precision of 1075 km s −1 for the 50 clusters with 3 or more galaxies. We find that t...

Introduction: Homeopathy can be applied to treat various diseases and conditions such as cancer, allergy, mood disorders, headache and pain. This case showed that homeopathic medicine can be a treatment modality for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), an autoimmune-mediated hematologic disorder. Case Presentation: The patient was a 5.5–year-old child wi...

The first spectra of helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, excited by discharges in Geissler tubes, operated by direct connection to a transformer, have been explored in the infrared (12000 to 19000 A). A high-resolution, automatically recording, infrared spectrometer, employing a 15000-lines-per-inch grating and lead-sulfide photoconducting detector, was used as the dispersing instrument. A...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is insufficient congestive heart occurring in the last month of pregnancy and 5 months after delivery, in the absence of preexisting heart disease and identified etiology. This heart disease is associated with echocardiography systolic dysfunction and left ventricular dilatation. Its incidence ranges from 1/3000 to 1/15000, depending on the region, including much highe...

With an active silicon area of more than 200 m2, the silicon strip tracker of the CMS experiment, one of the experiments currently under construction for the future Large Hadron Collider at CERN, will be by far the largest silicon tracker in the world. Efficient mass production and rigid quality control are crucial to finish the detector, comprising of more than 15000 silicon strip modules, in ...

This paper develops an explicit expression for a compression matrix T of smallest possible left dimension k consistent with preserving the n-variate normal Bayes assignment of X to a given one of a finite number of populations and the k-variate Bayes assignment of TX to that population. The Bayes population assignment of X and TX are shown to be equivalent for a compression matrix T explicitly ...

This paper describes recent work on decision fusion in audio-visual speech recognition. In this work, a novel approach is proposed to combine audio and video channels information in audio-visual speech recognition scenario. For simplicity, we have only considered frame-level phonetic classification problem using two singlestream Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Audio and video streams are adaptive...

Analytic formulas to calculate statistical uncertainties of $v_{n}\{2k\}$ harmonics extracted from the Q-cumulants are presented. The multivariate polynomial functions weighted means $2m$-particle azimuthal correlations, $\llangle 2m \rrangle$. Variances and covariances \rrangle$ included in analytic that can be calculated simultaneously with calculations harmonics. performed using a simple toy...

Sign language is the primary method of communication adopted by deaf and hearing-impaired individuals. The indigenous sign in Nigeria one area receiving growing interest, with major challenge faced between signers non-signers. Recent advancements computer vision deep learning neural networks (DLNN) have led to exploration necessary technological concepts towards tackling existing challenges. On...
