A class of autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models proposed by J rgensen and Song [Journal of Applied Probability (1998), vol. 35, pp. 78–92] with exponential dispersion model margins are useful to deal with non-normal stationary time series with high-order autocorrelation. One property associated with the class of models is that the projection process takes the exact form of the classical ...

This article concerns optimization in two senses. The rst is that information-based complexity (IBC) is the study of the minimal computational resources to solve continuous mathematical problems. (Other types of mathematical problems are also studied; the problems studied by IBC will be characterized later.) J.F. Traub and A.G. Werschulz 14] provide an exposi-tory introduction to the theory and...

We present observations of a sample of Herbig AeBe stars, as well as the FU Orionis object V1057 Cygni. Our K-band (2.2μm) observations from the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) used baselines of 110m and 85m, resulting in fringe spacings of ∼ 4mas and 5mas, respectively. Fringes were obtained for the first time on V1057 Cygni as well as V594 Cas. Additional measurements were made of MWC147...

a r t i c l e i n f o To understand experiential learning, many have reiterated the need to be able to identify students' learning styles. Kolb's Learning Style Model is the most widely accepted learning style model and has received a substantial amount of empirical support. Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI), although one of the most widely utilized instruments to measure individual learnin...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of cognitive function whose cellular pathology and molecular etiology have been increasingly and dramatically unraveled over the last several years. Despite this substantial knowledge base, the disease remains poorly understood due to a basic lack of understanding of how memories are stored and recalled in the brain. We descri...

Synchronous network oscillations are a common feature of normal cerebral activities associated with a variety of brain functions from sleep to exploratory behaviors and learning and memory. Synchronous network events, however, can take place also under certain pathological conditions, for example, in epilepsy. A major, long-standing question regarding the nature of the relationship between the ...

The goal is to extend the applicability of Newton-Traub-like methods in cases not covered earlier articles requiring usage derivatives up order seven that do appear methods. price we pay by using conditions on first derivative actually method show only linear convergence. To find convergence our intention, however, since this already known case where spaces coincide with multidimensional Euclid...

The monophyletic Eurasian clade of Amaryllidaceae was analyzed using plastid ndhF and rDNA ITS sequences for 33 and 29 taxa, respectively; all genera were represented by at least one species. Both maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis were used on each data set and the combined data. Both sequence matrices resolve the Central and East Asian tribe Lycorideae as sister to the Mediterranean-cent...

“Karl Piez and I wrote this article in the last three months of 1970, while we were 6,000 miles apart. Over the previous decade, Karl’s laboratory at the NIH had become the outstanding centre of collagen chemistry, and he had attracted a number of exceptionally able colleagues. Together they had elucidated the chain compositions of collagens, identified cross-links between them, developed metho...
