The calculation of molecular quantum similarity measures using the molecular electron density requires the electron density and molecular alignment between two molecules. To obtain meaningful quantum similarity matrices, the electron density should be calculated efficiently and accurately and the alignment should be internally consistent. The internal consistency of the alignment for a series o...

The paper considers calculation of autocorrelation functions on finite dyadic groups over decision diagrams. The methods exploit recursive structure of both autocorrelation matrices and decision diagrams. First, it is discussed calculation of the autocorrelation through the Wiener-Khinchin theorem implemented over decision diagrams. Then, it is proposed a method for calculation of separate auto...

In this paper, we describe a high speed and multi degree of freedoms (DOFs) pose estimation method for a 3-D object that called Estimation-by-Completion (EbC) method. The most of employed processes are described with linear calculation, thus, whole procedure for each parameter estimation is expressed by a pair inner production, and it used only an arctangent calculation at the final part of the...

OBJECTIVE To assess risk of bias and to investigate methodological issues concerning the design, conduct and analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) testing acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and four major Chinese databases were searched for RCTs that investigated the effect of acupuncture for KOA. The Coc...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether poor reporting of methods in randomised controlled trials reflects on poor methods. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Reports of randomised controlled trials conducted by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group since its establishment in 1968. PARTICIPANTS The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. Outcome measures Content of reports compared with the design featu...

In this paper, the boundary-based estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular system is investigated using two dimensional flow images. The conventional methods of non-invasive estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular flow domain use the differential form of governing equations. This study evaluates the advantages of using the integral form of the equations in the...

We present a preliminary calculation of the charmed meson spectrum using the 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion lattice configurations currently being generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations. The calculation is performed using the 3-parameter, relativistic heavy quark action with nonperturbatively determined coefficients. We will also demonstrate a step-scaling procedure for determining these...

In this paper we present a formula for the calculation of the integrals of the form ∫ S u∗Xuν(du), where S is the unit sphere in R , X is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix, and ν is a surface measure generated by a Gaussian measure μ. The solution has the form trace(XZ), with the explicit procedure for the calculation of the matrix Z which does not depend on X. AMS subject classificatio...
