The distribution of selection coefficients of new mutations is of key interest in population genetics. In this paper we explore how codon-based likelihood models can be used to estimate the distribution of selection coefficients of new amino acid replacement mutations from phylogenetic data. To obtain such estimates we assume that all mutations at the same site have the same selection coefficie...

Based on the principles of equalized sliding coefficients and equalized teeth bending strength, the optimization mathematical model for calculating and allocating the addendum modification coefficients of involute cylindrical gear is firstly established. Then the measures to calculate the tooth parameters in real-time during the optimization steps are achieved. Finally, the optimization program...

In this note we update Tables I and II in Ref. [1] (henceforth referred to as DIS3) in view of the recent theoretical progress made in the dynamics of, and radiation from, binary systems to 3.5PN order [2, 3, 4, 5]. Before giving a comprehensive list of the corresponding updates, we take this opportunity to correct some misprints in Ref. [1]. Results in [1] are not changed since they used the c...

Logistic regression analysis may well be used to develop a prognostic model for a dichotomous outcome. Especially when limited data are available, it is difficult to determine an appropriate selection of covariables for inclusion in such models. Also, predictions may be improved by applying some sort of shrinkage in the estimation of regression coefficients. In this study we compare the perform...

Last year, we reported our first results on the determination of Gasser–Leutwyler coefficients using partially quenched lattice QCD with three flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. We give an update on our progress in determining two of these coefficients, including an exhaustive effort to estimate all sources of systematic error. At this conference, we have heard about algorithmic techniques ...

This paper concentrates on a new procedure which experimentally recognises gears and bearings faults of a typical gearbox system using a least square support vector machine (LSSVM). Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. The fault diagnosis method co...
