The idiopathic generalized epilepsies encompass a class of epileptic seizure types that exhibit a polygenic and heritable etiology. Advances in molecular biology and genetics have implicated defects in certain types of voltage-gated calcium channels and their ancillary subunits as important players in this form of epilepsy. Both T-type and P/Q-type channels appear to mediate important contribut...

background: c-reactive protein (crp) is an acute phase reactant and has been proved to be a significant predictor of future cardiovascular events. recent studies have demonstrated a correlation between periodontitis and elevated crp levels. however, comparison between the levels of crp in two main forms of periodontitis is ambiguous. this study aims at determining and comparing the relative lev...

the rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. for noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. in this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, generaliz...

Introduction. Let G/K be a compact, irreducible symmetric space and Q = f+p the Lie algebra of G. If ir is a non trivial real class-one representation of G on E with O^e, infixed, then the map TlG/K —*E given by gK—*ir{g)e gives an immersion of G/K into E. The purpose of this note is to announce the classification of such immersions with minimal absolute curvature (i.e., are tight) [ l ] , [4]....

In recent years, political science has seen a boom in the use of sophisticated methodological tools for time series analysis. One such tool is the general error correction model (GECM), originally introduced to political scientists in the pages of this journal over 20 years ago (Durr 1992; Ostrom and Smith 1992) and re-introduced by De Boef and Keele (2008), who advocate its use for a wider set...

Tabu search (TS) has provided advances for solving difficult optimization problems in many domains. At the same time, fundamental TS strategies are often not applied as effectively as they might be, and their underlying rationale is often not completely understood. We examine basic concepts and principles of tabu search, emphasizing those that have sometimes led to applying the label "adaptive ...

In a recent paper (Cf. [19]), we have presented the definitions and essential properties of generalized topological operators 
 g-Int_g, g-Cl_g : P (Ω) −→ (g-T_g-interior g-T_g-closure operators) in space T_g = (Ω, T_g) (T_g-space). Principally, have
 shown that (g-Int_g , g-Cl_g) × is ∅)-grounded, (expansive, non-expansive), (idempotent, idempotent) (∩, ∪)-additive. We also g-Int_g f...

A. Csaszar introduced and extensively studied the notion of generalized open sets. Following Csazar, we introduce a new notion superconnected. The main purpose of this paper is to study generalized superconnected spaces. Various characterizations of generalized superconnected spaces and preservation theorems are discussed.

‎‎The purpose of this paper is to introduce new methods for constructing generalized groups, generalized topological groups and top spaces. We study some properties of these structures and present some relative concrete examples. Moreover, we obtain generalized groups by using of Hilbert spaces and tangent spaces of Lie groups, separately.

In a generalized topological space Tg = (Ω, ) (Tg -space), various ordinary operators -operators), namely, int_g, cl_g, ext_g, fr_g, der_g, 
 cod_g : P (Ω) −→ (T_g-interior, T_g-closure, T_g-exterior, T_g-frontier, T_g-derived, T_g-coderived operators), are defined in terms of sets (T_g-sets). Accordingly, T_g-operators (g-T_g-operators), g-Int_g, g-Cl_g, g-Ext_g, g-Fr_g, g-Der_g, g-Cod_g ...
