We present a T E X macro package for generating the arabic writing from a standardized ASCII input notation. It can handle partial or full vocalization, and generates automatically most of the common ligatures. There is limited support for Farsi, Urdu, and Pashto. ArabT E X is compatible with Plain T E X and also most L a T E X environments; arabic and other material can be mixed freely. For sp...

macroH2A is an H2A variant with a highly unusual structural organization. It has a C-terminal domain connected to the N-terminal histone domain by a linker. Crystallographic and biochemical studies show that changes in the L1 loop in the histone fold region of macroH2A impact the structure and potentially the function of nucleosomes. The 1.6-A X-ray structure of the nonhistone region reveals an...

The following propositions are true: (1) Let X be a set, p be a permutation of X, and x, y be elements of X. Then p +· (x, p(y)) +· (y, p(x)) is a permutation of X. (2) Let f be a function and x, y be sets. Suppose x ∈ dom f and y ∈ dom f. Then there exists a permutation p of dom f such that f +· (x, f(y)) +· (y, f(x)) = f · p. Let X be a finite non empty subset of R. The functor minX yielding ...

MzScheme’s continuation marks provide a flexible mechanism for implementing a number of useful language features and tools. We demonstrate the simplicity and utility of continuation marks by adapting them for JavaScript as frame-based stack marks using the Rhino implementation, showing a simple model of their behavior, and using them to build a toy debugger. Along the way, we discover a few int...

This paper documents a new " stylized fact " regarding commodity prices using alternative datasets covering the period from 1880 to 1996: The volatility of real commodity prices, defined as nominal commodity prices deflated by the manufacturing unit value index, is higher under flexible-exchange rate regimes than fixed-exchange rate regimes. Furthermore, changes in exchange regime are associate...

Dielectrowetting effects of surface wrinkling, isotropic vs anisotropic spreading, electrode geometry, and deterministic dewetting are presented both experimentally and by 3D numerical modeling. The numerical results are generated by COMSOL in conjunction with the phase-field and electrohydrodynamic methods, including comparisons to experimental data. The dynamic behavior of the two-phase syste...

In this paper, we propose an approach that integrates the statistical and structural information for unconstrained handwritten numeral recognition. This approach uses stateduration adapted transition probability distribution to overcome the weakness of state-duration modeling of conventional HMMs and uses macro-states to tackle the difficulty for HMMs to model pattern structures. Consequently, ...
