We consider a set system (V,C⊆2V) on finite V of elements, where we call C∈C component. assume that two oracles L1 and L2 are available, given non-empty subsets X⊆Y⊆V, L1(X,Y) returns maximal component with X⊆C⊆Y; Y⊆V, L2(Y) all components C⊆Y. Given (V,C) along I items function σ:V→2I, is called solution if the common in C inclusively maximal; i.e., ⋂v∈Cσ(v)⊋⋂v∈Xσ(v) for any X∈C C⊊X. prove the...

The present study evaluated the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum as a probiotic on the growth performance and haematological parameters of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) weighing 29.6±1.8 g immunized with streptococcus/lactococcus bivalent vaccine for 60 days at 16±1.5ºC. Fish were randomly allocated to 4 equal groups: probiotic (g kg-1 feed equal to 108 cells g-1) supplemented d...

if $g$ is a connected graph with vertex set $v$, then the eccentric connectivity index of $g$, $xi^c(g)$, is defined as $sum_{vin v(g)}deg(v)ecc(v)$ where $deg(v)$ is the degree of a vertex $v$ and $ecc(v)$ is its eccentricity. in this paper we show some convergence in probability and an asymptotic normality based on this index in random bucket recursive trees.

In this work preliminary results on a distributed version of Bayes Blocks software library [1, 4] are presented. Bayes Blocks is a software implementation of the variational Bayesian building block framework [7] that allows automated derivation of variational learning procedures for a variety of models, including nonlinear and variance models. The library is implemented in C++ with Python bindi...

The original plan of this work was the creation of a process by which conclusions learned from one IV&V project could be applied to another. In particular, we seek methods whereby an agent can say “that’s odd”; i.e. detect anomalies and propose repairs in active NASA projects. Given the current state of business knowledge and IV&V project data recorded at the IV&V facility, the methods proposed...
