objective(s):  denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dhplc) is a high throughput approach for screening dna sequence variations. to assess oven calibration, cartridge performance, buffer composition and stability, the wave low and high range mutation standards are employed to ensure reproducibility and accuracy of the chromatographic analysis. the purpose of this study was to provi...

x-ray coronary angiography has been a gold standard in the clinical diagnosis and interventional treatment of coronary arterialdiseases for decades. in angiography, a sequence of images is obtained, a few of which are suitable for physician inspection. thispaper proposes an automatic algorithm for the extraction of one or more frames from an angiogram sequence, which is most suitablefor diagnos...

Let φ be a w-continuous homomorphism from a dual Banach algebra to C. The notion of φ-Connes amenability is studied and some characterizations is given. A type of diagonal for dual Banach algebras is dened. It is proved that the existence of such a diagonal is equivalent to φ-Connes amenability. It is also shown that φ-Connes amenability is equivalent to so-called φ-splitting of a certain short...

Let $mathcal{A}$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $Z(mathcal{A})$ the‎ ‎center of $mathcal{A}$‎. ‎A sequence ${L_{n}}_{n=0}^{infty}$ of‎ ‎linear mappings on $mathcal{A}$ with $L_{0}=I$‎, ‎where $I$ is the‎ ‎identity mapping‎ ‎on $mathcal{A}$‎, ‎is called a Lie higher derivation if‎ ‎$L_{n}[x,y]=sum_{i+j=n} [L_{i}x,L_{j}y]$ for all $x,y in  ‎mathcal{A}$ and all $ngeqslant0$‎. ‎We show that‎ ‎${L_{n}}_{n...

It is argued that the association of any two random elements with positive joint probability density function is characterized by its odds ratio function. The impact of this fundamental result is explored in two applications. In Bayesian analyses it is the association between an observable random variable and a random parameter that is of primary interest. In multivariate analysis it is the ass...

some algorithms for nding common xed point of a family of mappings isconstructed. indeed, let c be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformlyconvex banach space x whose norm is gateaux dierentiable and let {tn} bea family of self-mappings on c such that the set of all common fixed pointsof {tn} is nonempty. we construct a sequence {xn} generated by the hybridmethod and also we give the ...

We begin with defining the ubiquitous concept of a vector space and several properties associated with them, as well as mathematical operations defined on them. The concept of a vector space is, in general, defined over an arbitrary field of scalars. However, we shall restrict ourselves to real vector spaces, i.e. those defined over the field of reals. Definition 2.1 (Vector Space). A real vect...

Central pseudoscalar production in pp scattering is suppressed at small values of Q ⊥ , where Q is defined as the difference between the momenta transferred from the two protons. Such a behaviour is expected if the production occurs through the fusion of two vectors. Photon exchange could provide the dominant contribution here, but we argue that an extension of the experiment could probe the gl...

We describe an efficient local multiple alignment filtration heuristic for identification of conserved regions in one or more DNA sequences. The method incorporates several novel ideas: (1) palindromic spaced seed patterns to match both DNA strands simultaneously, (2) seed extension (chaining) in order of decreasing multiplicity, and (3) procrastination when low multiplicity matches are encount...

This paper studies the incidence relation between the points and quadrics in the projective space of a symplectic vector space over a field of even order. The 2-rank of the incidence matrix is determined. This is achieved by viewing the code generated by incidence vectors as a module for the symplectic group and applying the 2-modular representation theory of this group. The radical series of t...
