Mixed norms are used to exploit in an easy way, both structure and sparsity in the framework of regression problems, and introduce implicitly couplings between regression coefficients. Regression is done through optimization problems, and corresponding algorithms are described and analyzed. Beside the classical sparse regression problem, multilayered expansion on unions of dictionaries of signa...

A mixed probit model was applied to survey data toanalyze consumers’ wilingness to buy apples with cosmetic damage caused by the sooty blotch and flyspeck (SBFS) disease complex. The analysis finds consumers will pay a premium for organic production methods and for apples with low amounts of SBFS damage. Behavioral variables such as experience in growing fruit significantly affect the willingne...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of once-daily lurasidone (80 mg/day and 160 mg/day) in the treatment of an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia. METHODS Participants, who were recently admitted inpatients with schizophrenia with an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms, were randomly assigned to 6 weeks of fixed-dose, double-blind treatment w...

Retention of fissure sealant in deep pits and fissures of molar is the main criteria for successful prevention of occurrence of dental caries. These fissure sealants are subjected to various factors like oral hygiene practices and dietary habit that differs from place to place. So a study was conducted to evaluate and compare the retention rate of the flowable composite resin sealant among the ...

We use all available fields with deep NICMOS imaging to search for J 110-dropouts (H 160,AB 28) at z ≈ 10. Our primary data set for this search were the two J 110 + H 160 NICMOS parallel fields taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF). The 5σ limiting magnitudes were 28.6 in J 110 and 28.5 in H 160 (0.6 ′′ apertures). Several shallower fields were also use...
