We review and expand on a Bayesian model selection technique for the detection of gravitational waves from neutron star ring-downs associated with pulsar glitches. The algorithm works with power spectral densities constructed from overlapping time segments of gravitational wave data. Consequently, the original approach was at risk of falsely identifying multiple signals where only one signal wa...

A 16-year-old girl presented with a history of new onset seizures. Her semiology favored complex partial seizures of right frontal origin characterized by facial deviation and head aversion to the left followed by tonic posturing of the left upper limb. Seizure duration was approximately one minute with no post ictal confusion and recurred every ten minutes throughout the night. She presented t...

Robust linear decentralized tracking of a time varying sparse parameter is studied in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless sensor network (WSN) under channel state information (CSI) uncertainty. Initially, assuming perfect CSI availability, novel Bayesian learning-based Kalman filtering (SBL-KF) framework developed order to track the parameter. Subsequently, an optimization problem fo...

the concept of fuzzy soft γ-ring is introduced; and some properties of fuzzy soft γ-rings are given. then the definitions of fuzzy soft γ-ideals are proposed and some of their theories are considered.

Sergei Artemov Reflection vs. co-Reflection in Intuitionistic Epistemic Logic. This is joint work with Tudor Protopopescu. We outline an intuitionistic view of knowledge which maintains the Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov semantics and is consistent with Williamson’s suggestion that intuitionistic knowledge is the result of verification. On this view, co-Reflection F → KF is valid since it encodes a...

The Kalman filter (KF) has been improved for a mobile robot to human tracking. The proposed algorithm combines a curve matching framework and KF to enhance prediction accuracy of target tracking. Compared to other methods using normal KF, the Curve Matched Kalman Filter (CMKF) method predicts the next movement of the human by taking into account not only his present motion characteristics, but ...

Gentamicin-thallous-carbonate (GTC) agar was formulated by Donnelly and Hartman (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 35:576-581, 1978) to select for fecal streptococci in sewage and water samples. The present study was conducted to determine the usefulness of GTC agar for the enumeration of fecal streptococci in foods. Comparisons were made with KF streptococcal (KF), Pfizer selective enterococcus (PSE),...

Fungal infections of skin and/or nails are common diseases resulting in major challenges in topical treatment. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to develop a dermal formulation targeting both tinea pedis and onychomycosis. The antifungal agent ciclopirox olamine (CPX) was incorporated into a variety of poloxamer 407-based formulations and analysed regarding its in vitro permeati...

A site-specifically modified oligonucleotide containing a single 2'-deoxyribonolactone lesion was used as a template for primer extension reactions catalyzed by M-MuLV reverse transcriptase (RT) and by the Klenow fragments of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase proficient (KF exo(+)) or deficient (KF exo(-)) in exonuclease activity. Analysis of the extension products in the presence of the four dNT...
