We present the largest, publicly available, sample of Damped Lyman-α systems (DLAs) along Swift discovered Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB) line of sights in order to investigate the environmental properties of long GRB hosts in the z = 1.8− 6 redshift range. Compared with the most recent quasar DLAs sample (QSO-DLA), our analysis shows that GRB-DLAs probe a more metal enriched environment at z 3, up to ...

The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) of voice samples in diagnosing vocal nodules and polyps. Patients’ voice samples were analysed acoustically with the measurement of MFCC and values of the first three formants. Classification of mel coefficients was performed by applying the Sammon Mapping and Support Vector Machines. For the tes...

In this paper, a new algorithm is developed to reduce the computational complexity of Ward’s method. The proposed approach uses a dynamic k-nearest-neighbor list to avoid the determination of a cluster’s nearest neighbor at some steps of the cluster merge. Double linked algorithm (DLA) can significantly reduce the computing time of the fast pairwise nearest neighbor (FPNN) algorithm by obtainin...

Western diets are typically high in fat and are associated with long-term complications such as obesity and hepatic steatosis. Because of the enjoyable taste of high-fat diets (HFDs), we are interested in determining how to decrease lipid absorption and enhance lipid excretion from the digestive tract after the consumption of eating fatty foods. Montmorillonite was initially characterized as a ...

Comparisons of the genomic structure of 3 mammalian major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs), human HLA, canine DLA, and feline FLA revealed remarkable structural differences between HLA and the other 2 MHCs. The 4.6-Mb HLA sequence was compared with the 3.9-Mb DLA sequence from 2 supercontigs generated by 7x whole-genome shotgun assembly and 3.3-Mb FLA draft sequence. For FLA, we confirm that...

This paper studies the auction-driven dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks with heterogeneous secondary users, who have different risk attitudes. First, a game theoretic framework is established for auction-driven dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks. The utility functions and bidding strategies of heterogeneous secondary users are defined, and the parameterized au...

W moim komentarzu pominę kwestię oceny przydatności proponowanej przez Autorów karty kwalifikacyjnej, a skupię się na drugim szeroko omówionym w publikacji zagadnieniu, mianowicie roli chirurgii i diagnosty obrazowego w procesie diagnostycznym. Przez proces diagnostyczny rozumiem tu wszystkie działania: od zbierania informacji z różnych źródeł, przez ich porządkowanie, przypisanie do znanych wz...

We consider the DLA process on a cylinder G × N. It is shown that this process “grows arms”, provided that the base graph G has small enough mixing time. Specifically, if the mixing time of G is at most log(2−ε) |G|, the time it takes the cluster to reach the m-th layer of the cylinder is at most of order m · |G| log log|G| . In particular we get examples of infinite Cayley graphs of degree 5, ...

Aim: Drosera species are used as vital components in an Ayurvedic preparation called 'Swarnabhasma' (Golden ash) are used for the treatment of different diseases like bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, nervous disorders In the present study was carried out to evaluate the antitumor potentials against Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA)-induced tumor. Material and Method: The...

This paper presents the design and implementation of several fundamental dense linear algebra (DLA) algorithms for multicore with Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors. In particular, we consider algorithms for solving linear systems. Further, we give an overview of the MAGMA MIC library, an open source, high performance library that incorporates the developments presented, and in general provides to het...
