We study the Dyson–Ornstein–Uhlenbeck diffusion process, an evolving gas of interacting particles. Its invariant law is beta Hermite ensemble random matrix theory, a non-product log-concave distribution. explore convergence to equilibrium this process for various distances or divergences, including total variation, relative entropy, and transportation cost. When number particles sent infinity, ...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of Abusign test slides in comparison with fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA)-ADx and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) confirmation with special emphasis on concentrations near the cutoff. Analysis was performed on 35 individual slide tests for cocaine (cutoff, 300 ng/mL), cannabinoids (cutoff, 100 ng/mL), a...

however, the same problem done with hard-pion techniques did require a cutoff. " One possible physical explanation for the cutoff is given in the vector-dominance model, which says that the strong-interaction vertex (of the vector meson connecting to the hadron line) has an unknown form factor associated with it. Even though the concept of a cutoff (or effective cutoff A) is accepted, any deriv...

A novel transform space called the ratio spectrum has been developed. The ratio spectrum is formed by plotting the ratio of the power of a low-pass filtered signal to the power of the original unfiltered signal vs. the filter cutoff frequency. The spectrum is necessarily a monotonic function of frequency that is bounded between zero and one. Though we prove that this transform space is mathemat...

BACKGROUND In Kinshasa, an average of less than 50 new cases of Human African Trypanosomiasis was notified, per year, between 1969 and 1995. The situation of endemic sleeping sickness suddenly worsened in 1996 with 254 new cases identified thanks to passive detection. No study dealing with conceptions relative to sleeping sickness was ever listed to date. The objective of this study was to dete...

BACKGROUND Vascular dysfunction is highly prevalent if not ubiquitous in patients with hypertension. We compared two different measures of vascular function obtained from digital volume waveforms with measures of ventricular-vascular load derived from 24-hour blood pressure (BP) recordings in patients with hypertension. METHODS Digital pulsatile volume waveforms were captured via plethysmogra...

Purpose – Building disaster-resilient communities is one of the strategies of reducing the impact of disasters in marginalised communities. In Zimbabwe, the role of Rural District Councils (RDCs) as facilitating agencies in the realisation of this agenda cannot be overemphasised. However, at present, RDCs are unlikely to be effective towards the realisation of the disaster risk reduction agenda...

In the application of guided waves NDT, the selection of exciting frequency is not only related with the setup of sensor, but also with the characteristics of pipe’s structure and material. In this paper, the characteristic of guided waves propagation in pipes that L(0,1) and L(0,2) have a cutoff frequency are respectively discussed, and the calculation formulas of their cutoff frequency are gi...

objective: this study was performed to evaluate the normative data and psychometric properties and the internal consistency of the farsi (persian) version of the strength and difficulties questionnaire (sdq) self-report form, as a screening tool in a community-based sample of 12 to 17 year-old   adolescents of urban tehran. materials & methods:  in this investigation, 1105 adolescents (12 to 17...

We solved one dimensional Schrodinger equation in a H2+ molecular environment by using 3 femtosecond homogeneous and nonhomogeneous laser fields. In homogeneous case, we found out that larger inter nuclear distances result in earlier ionization and also more instability in the wave packet. We deducted that the more the instability is, the more modulated the power spectrum will be. So, by choosi...
