In this paper, we propose a nonparametric rank-based alternative to the least-squares independent component analysis algorithm developed. The basic idea is to estimate the squared-loss mutual information, which used as the objective function of the algorithm, based on its copula density version. Therefore, no marginal densities have to be estimated. We provide empirical evaluation of th...

spectral decomposition of time series has a significant role in seismic data processing and interpretation. since the earth acts as a low-pass filter, it changes frequency content of passing seismic waves. conventional representing methods of signals in time domain and frequency domain cannot show time and frequency information simultaneously. time-frequency transforms upgraded spectral decompo...

Background: In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment ofthe femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittalfemoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cor...

almcm-41 was applied for adsorption of methylene blue (mb) and auramine (au) in single and binary component systems. in the single component systems, almcm-41 represents higher adsorption capacity for mb than au with the maximal adsorption capacity of 2.07×10−4 and 1.15×10−4 mol/g at 25 ˚c for mb and au, respectively. in the binary component system, mb and au exhibit competitive adsorption onto...

the study aimed at a critical assessment of the environmentalism components introduced in the civil engineering curriculum in india polytechnic colleges (state of tamilnadu) and associate degree level technical institutions in iran .the objective of study was to compare technical education curriculum in civil engineering with respect to environmentalism. both qualitative and quantitative techni...

the aim of this study was to assess the environmental impact of socio-cultural practices on the water quality of river ganga at the foothills of the garhwal himalayas in uttarakhand state, india. the physico-chemical parameters that contributed to the temporal variation and pollution in the river were identified in this study. principal component analysis (pca) and cluster analysis (ca) were us...

use of efficient methods of weed control with as regards environmental sustainability as well as increased crop yield and also weed resistance to herbicides is essential. in order to, an experiment was conducted in 2012 in the damavand jaban in iran. experiment treatments were compared in a split plot design by a randomized completely block design with 3 replication. the used variety of maize w...

background: cellulytic enzymes including carboxymethyl cellulases play the key role in hydrolysis of cellulose, a huge organic carbon reservoir on earth, into monomeric sugars and their eventual conversion into valuable chemicals and energy sources. objectives: in this study, we described the identification of a basidiomycete isolate ndvn01 and optimization of culture conditions and medium comp...

microwave-assisted three component cyclocondensation reactions of aldehydes, amides and dienophiles in the presence of acetic anhydride and para-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst to afford the highly substituted cyclohexene derivatives, in relatively good yields after several minutes are reported.
