In this paper, we introduce the notion of probabilistic valued measures as a generalization of non-negative measures and construct the corresponding Lp spaces, for distributions p > "0. It is alsoshown that if the distribution p satises p "1 then, as in the classical case, these spaces are completeprobabilistic normed spaces.

Although oxidized lipoproteins may play an important role in the progression of atherosclerosis, no report has mentioned the significance of oxidized lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Initially, we compared the mitogenic actions of Lp(a) and oxidized Lp(a) on human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Lp(a) significantly stimulated the growth of human VSMC i...

Given a sequence of positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundles (Lp,hp) on Kähler manifold X, we establish the asymptotic expansion Bergman kernel space global sections Lp, under natural convergence assumption curvatures c1(Lp,hp). We then apply this to study distribution common zeros random sequences m-tuples Lp as p→+∞.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of licorice powder (LP) in diet on performance, egg traits and some serum biochemical parameters of laying hens in the late laying period. Totally 180 Hy-Line W-36 layer hens aged 55-68 weeks with similar weight were selected and assigned to 5 treatments, 3 replicates and 12 hens in each replicate in a completely randomized...

Consider the problem of finding a constant curvature metric on a given closed 3-manifoldM . It is known that essential spheres and tori, (except in the case of flat manifolds), prevent the existence of such metrics, but it is unknown if there are other topological obstructions. We approach this issue by recasting it as a natural variational problem on the space of metrics M onM . The problem th...

This paper focuses on semi-supervised clustering, where the goal is to cluster a set of data-points given a set of similar/dissimilar examples. These examples provide instance-level equivalence/in-equivalence constraints (e.g., similar pairs belong to the same cluster while dissimilar pairs belong to different clusters), but in order to aid final clustering we must propagate them to feature-spa...

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (Lp-PLA₂) is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Plasma Lp-PLA₂ is mainly associated with apolipoprotein (apo)B-containing lipoproteins, primarily with low density lipoproteins (LDLs). Importantly, only a proportion of circulating lipoproteins contain Lp-PLA₂. We determined the plasma levels of Lp-PLA₂-bound apoB (apoB/Lp-PLA₂) in patients with prima...

Embedded SRAMs are a critical component in modern digital systems, and their role is preferentially increasing. As a result, SRAMs strongly impact the overall power, performance, and area, and, in order to manage these severely constrained trade-offs, they must be specially designed for target applications. Highly energy-constrained systems (e.g. implantable biomedical devices, multimedia hands...

We consider approximation algorithms for the metric labeling problem. This problem was introduced in a paper by Kleinberg and Tardos [J. ACM, 49 (2002), pp. 616–630] and captures many classification problems that arise in computer vision and related fields. They gave an O(log k log log k) approximation for the general case, where k is the number of labels, and a 2-approximation for the uniform ...
