Throughout the proof, we assume that the marginal c.d.f. Fj , j = 1, . . . , d, are known. In other words, we analyze a surrogate of the spherical MV-set algorithm, where V̂ may be taken as V itself. Recall the definition of the finite distance angular measure Φt(A) = tP(V ∈ tCA), A ⊂ Sd−1, where CA = {tx, x ∈ A, t ≥ 1} is the truncated cone generated by A. Notice Φ(A) = limt→∞Φt(A) and the unde...

Homogeneous simplex splines, also known as cone splines or mul-tivariate truncated power functions, are discussed from a perspective of homogeneous divided diierences and polar forms. This makes it possible to derive the basic properties of these splines in a simple and economic way. In addition, a construction of spaces of homogeneous simplex splines is considered, which in the non-homogeneous...

  Introduction : The innate immune system as the first line of defense against the pathogens recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs). Interaction of bacterial PAMPs by TLRs results in activation of innate and acquired immunity. FimH adhesin, a minor component of type 1 fimbriae encoded by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is a PAMP of TLR4 tha...

We consider twisted tachyons on C/ZN orbifolds of bosonic closed string theory. It has been conjectured that these tachyonic instabilities correspond to decays of the orbifolds into flat space or into orbifolds with smaller deficit angles. We examine this conjecture using closed string field theory, with the string field truncated to low-level tachyons. We compute the tachyon potentials for C/Z...

Extended Abstract. The study of truncated parameter space in general is of interest for the following reasons: 1.They often occur in practice. In many cases certain parameter values can be excluded from the parameter space. Nearly all problems in practice have a truncated parameter space and it is most impossible to argue in practice that a parameter is not bounded. In truncated parameter...

understanding the implication of genotype-by-environment interaction (gei) and improving stability of crop yield in a target production environment is important in plant breeding. in this research, we used the ammi (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) model to identify the stable genotype(s) by predictive accuracy of yield data. results of this study indicated that the fgh tes...

We prove the convex hull property for properly immersed minimal hypersurfaces in a cone of Rn. We deal with the existence of new barriers for the maximum principle application in noncompact truncated tetrahedral domains of R3, describing the space of such domains admitting barriers of this kind. Nonexistence results for nonflat minimal surfaces whose boundary lies in opposite faces of a tetrahe...

Levitation induction heating represents the first step of levitation melting, which is an advanced technology used for processing of superclean metals or metal alloys. A workpiece is lifted by the Lorentz forces in time variable magnetic field produced by a system of suitably placed field coils and then heated by the Joule losses. The paper deals with optimization of the heating process from th...

introduction: glycoprotein b (gb) is the major antigen for induction of humoral responses against human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) making it an attractive candidate for immune prophylaxis. in the present study, the humoral immune response of balb/c mice to a truncated hcmv gb protein fused with gfp was evaluated. methods: the truncated gb coding sequence was synthesized and cloned in pegfpn1 eukary...
