The size |Y | of the output space Y is exponential and optimization over the entire space Y is computationally expensive. Hence in the sequential dual optimization method, the optimization of (A.6) is restricted to the set Yi = {y : αiy > 0} maintained for each example. For clarity, we present the sequential dual optimization method to solve (A.2) in Algorithm 3. The algorithm starts with Yi = ...

The main constraint on rice cultivation in the Mediterranean area is limited irrigation and its large water consumption. In addition, very sensitive to drought conditions because of stress morpho-physiological traits yield reduction. application salicylic acid (SA) has been noticed be effective alleviating adverse effects rice. current investigation was conducted as a split-split arrangement un...

this research which aims to survey the relation between tobacco leaf yield and its components is done by using 118 varieties of tobacco in a research farm of guilan tobacco research institute. regarding to five random selections of plants, twenty three traits of each variety were evaluated. correlation between dry matter of leaf yield with plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, l...

Let Z1, ..., Zn be i.i.d observations, where Zi = Xi +Yi and Xi and Yi are independent random variables. Assume that the distribution of Y ’s is known. The ordinary deconvolution problem is the problem of estimating the destribution of a random variables Xi from the observations Zi. In some situations (for instance, in signal processing) we don’t know the distribution of Yi but rather can assum...

PURPOSE To describe the ethnic differences in central corneal thickness (CCT) in population-based samples of ethnic Bai, Yi and Han people living in rural China. METHODS 6504 adults (2119 ethnic Bai, 2202 ethnic Yi and 2183 ethnic Han) aged 50 years or older participated in the study. Each subject underwent standardized ocular examinations and interviewer-administered questionnaires for risk ...

Summary. Objectives: To evaluate the clinical accuracy of antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) specificities both individually and/or in combination, in a wide cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in an attempt to identify a panel of tests that may provide the best accuracy for diagnosing antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Patients and Methods:This study included 230 patients (218 wom...
