We have examined the effect of hydroxyurea (HU), clotrimazole (CLT), magnesium oxide (Mg), and combined CLT1Mg therapies on the erythrocyte characteristics and their response to chronic hypoxia in a transgenic sickle mouse (SAD) model. SAD mice were treated for 21 days with 1 of the following regimens (administered by gavage): control (n 5 6), HU (200 mg/d; n 5 6), CLT (80 mg/kg/d, n 5 5), Mg (...

Language proficiency in bilingualism, and hence bilingual aphasia, is a multifaceted phenomenon: influenced by variables such as age of onset, literacy, usage patterns, and emotional valence. Although the majority of the world and growing US population is bilingual, relatively little is known about the best practices for language therapy in bilingual aphasia. This systematic review was undertak...

We analyze the fluctuations of incomplete U-statistics over a triangular array independent random variables. give criteria for Central Limit Theorem (CLT, short) to hold in sense that we prove an appropriately scaled and centered version U-statistic converges normal variable. Our method proof relies on martingale CLT. An application, CLT hitting time walks graphs, will be presented Löwe Terveer...

Timber structures are currently more important for solving tasks in construction practice. For this reason, there is an opportunity research the area of physical tests and numerical models. This paper deals with determination comparison deformation properties cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels based on laboratory tests, analytical calculation modeling. CLT structural building components consis...

A large class of proven discrete-time branching particle filters with Bayesian model selection capabilities and effective resampling is analyzed mathematically. The particles interact weakly in the branching procedure through the total mass process in such a way that the expected number of particles can remain constant. The weighted particle filter, which has no resampling, and the fullyresampl...

In this article we study asymptotic properties of weighted samples produced by the auxiliary particle filter (APF) proposed by Pitt and Shephard (1999a). Besides establishing a central limit theorem (CLT) for smoothed particle estimates, we also derive bounds on the L p error and bias of the same for a finite particle sample size. By examining the recursive formula for the asymptotic variance o...

For stochastic processes {Xt : t ∈ E}, we establish sufficient conditions for the empirical process based on {IXt≤y − P (Xt ≤ y) : t ∈ E, y ∈ R} to satisfy the CLT uniformly in t ∈ E, y ∈ R. Corollaries of our main result include examples of classical processes where the CLT holds, and we also show that it fails for Brownian motion tied down at zero and E = [0, 1]. ∗Research supported in part b...

This article argues that the dominance of CLT has led to the neglect of one crucial aspect of language pedagogy, namely the context in which that pedagogy takes place. It argues that it is time to replace CLT as the central paradigm in language teaching with a Context Approach which places context at the heart of the profession. The article argues that such a shift is already taking place, and ...

The first part of this research is comprised of an experimental study to investigate the comparative usefulness of the Grammar Translation Method and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach in teaching English at the intermediate level. A pre-test, post-test group design was used to measure achievement and attitude of the students. The second part of this research is comprised of a surve...
