Tibeto-Burman populations of India provide an insight into the peopling of India and aid in understanding their genetic relationship with populations of East, South and Southeast Asia. The study investigates the genetic status of one such Tibeto-Burman group, Adi of Arunachal Pradesh based on 15 autosomal microsatellite markers. Further the study examines, based on 9 common microsatellite loci,...

Objective: To develop factors based on the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) that index separate components of the autism phenotype that are genetically relevant and validated against standard measures of the constructs. Method: ADIs and ADI-Rs of 292 individuals with autism were subjected to a principal components analysis using VARCLUS. The resulting variable clusters were validated...

In this paper, we consider an inventory problem with two demand classes having different priorities. The appropriate policy of rationing the available stock, i.e. reserving some stock for meeting prospective future demand of preferred customers at the expense of deliberately losing some of the currently materialized demand of lower demand class(es), relies on the estimation of the future demand...

A generalized Peaceman-Rachford (P-R) ADI form based on the regularized finite difference scheme is employed in order to study the interactions of two co-propagating laser beams in underdense plasmas. A numerical algorithm using the P-R ADI form is constructed for solution of coupled 2D time-dependent non-linear Shrödinger equations for quasineutral plasmas in paraxial approximation. The abilit...

The aim of this study is to estimate dietary intake of benzoic acid and its salts through food additives in adult population of South East Serbia. Information on dietary intake among 620 adults (aged 18-65) was collected using a food frequency questionnaire, and 748 food samples were analyzed. The mean estimated intake of benzoic acid -0.32 mg/kg of body weight (bw) per day was below acceptable...

Low-rank versions of the alternating direction implicit (ADI) iteration are popular and well established methods for the numerical solution of large-scale Sylvester and Lyapunov equations. Probably the largest disadvantage of these methods is their dependence on a set of shift parameters that are crucial for a fast convergence. Here we compare existing shifts generation strategies that compute ...

OBJECTIVE To translate into Brazilian Portuguese the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), an extremely useful diagnostic tool in autism. METHODS A case-control study was done to validate the ADI-R. After being translated, the interview was applied in a sample of 20 patients with autism and 20 patients with intellectual disability without autism, in order to obtain the initial psychome...

In this study, a new method is introduced to reduce the splitting error in the ADI-FDTD method using iterative method. The proposed method includes two procedures. First we solve the procedure of ADI-FDTD method and secondly a new iterative scheme is adopted. The improvement of reduced splitting error is investigated by numerical examples. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Le...

In material selection, especially in low temperature conditions, one of very important factors it is a ductile to brittle transition temperature, i.e. the temperature when material becomes too brittle to use. In this paper transition temperature determined by impact energy in temperature interval from –196 to +100°C of unalloyed austempered ductile iron with different microstructures have been ...

Abstract Introduction Epidemiological studies have shown a strong association between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and increased incidence of cardiovascular morbidity mortality, however, to date, the variation SDB across socioeconomic spectrum how this is associated with major events (MACE) mortality unknown. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Cleveland Clinic Sleep La...
