AIM The study aimed to develop two Japanese versions of King's Stigma Scale, a full version (KSS-J-1) and a short version (KSS-J-2), through psychometric property testing. METHODS The sample included 112 people with mental illness. We tested the constructs of the scales using both confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were tested. We ex...

A generalization of Schauder basis associated with the concept of generalized analytic functions is introduced. Corresponding concepts of density, completeness, biorthogonality and basicity are defined. Also, corresponding concept of the space of coefficients is introduced. Under certain conditions for the  corresponding operators, some properties of the space of coefficients and basicity crite...

In this note measures with finite index of determinacy (i.e. determinate measures μ for which there exists a polynomial p such that |p|2μ is indeterminate) are characterizated in terms of the operator associated to its Jacobi matrix. Using this characterization, we show that such determinate measures with finite index of determinacy (Jekyll) turn out to be indeterminate (Hyde) when considered a...

In nearest larger value (NLV) problems, we are given an array A[1..n] of numbers, and need to preprocess A to answer queries of the following form: given any index i ∈ [1, n], return a “nearest” index j such that A[j] > A[i]. We consider the variant where the values in A are distinct, and we wish to return an index j such that A[j] > A[i] and |j − i| is minimized, the nondirectional NLV (NNLV) ...

mathematical chemistry is a branch of theoretical chemistry for discussion and prediction of the molecular structure using mathematical methods without necessarily referring to quantum mechanics. in theoretical chemistry, distance-based molecular structure descriptors are used for modeling physical, pharmacologic, biological and other properties of chemical compounds. the wiener polarity index ...

Given a pattern P , a text T , and an integer k, we want to find for every position j of T , the index of the k-mismatch of P with the suffix of T starting at position j. We give an algorithm that finds the exact index for each j, and algorithms that approximate it. We use these algorithms to get an efficient solution for an approximate version of the tandem repeats problem with k-mismatches.
