In this paper we are concerned with the estimation of integrals on the unit circle of the form ∫ 2π 0 f(eiθ)ω(θ)dθ by means of the so-called Szegö quadrature formulas, i.e., formulas of the type ∑n j=1 λjf(xj) with distinct nodes on the unit circle, exactly integrating Laurent polynomials in subspaces of dimension as high as possible. When considering certain weight functions ω(θ) related to th...

We provide an algorithm to compute arbitrarily many nodes and weights for rational Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature formulas integrating exactly in spaces of rational functions with complex poles outside [−1, 1]. Contrary to existing rational quadrature formulas, the computational effort is very low, even for extremely high degrees, and under certain conditions on the poles it can be shown that the c...

This paper extends some results for the weighted Moore–Penrose inverse A+M,N in Hilbert space to the so-called weighted Minkowski inverse A⊕M,N of an arbitrary rectangular matrix A ∈ Mm,n in Minkowski spaces μ. Four methods are also used for approximating the weighted Minkowski Inverse A⊕M,N . These methods are: Borel summable, Euler–Knopp summable, Newton–Raphson and Tikhonov’s methods. c © 20...

A simple Gram stain evaluation for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis was assessed in comparison to Nugent's method. The sensitivity (90%), specificity (94%), positive and negative predictive values (90% and 94%), and good interobserver agreement obtained indicate that the test method can be performed reliably in the routine clinical microbiology laboratory.

AbstractBovine tuberculosis (BTB) remains an important economic and zoonotic problem in Latin America. Traditionally, the fight against BTB is initiated by the implementation of routine diagnostic tests for certification of free properties. The diagnosis of BTB can be made by direct and indirect methods, in which we can mention clinical, post mortem, histopathological, immunological, bacteriolo...
