This paper presents an overview of a generic task model of to produce a generic description of music compomusic composition, developed as part of a research project sition tasks that could then be used to assist the investigating methods of improving user-interface designs software design process. The generic task model for music software (in particular focusing on sound (GTM) developed aided o...

background: menopause is associated with changes in body composition in postmenopausal women. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of tibolone and continuous combined hormone therapy (ht) on body composition in postmenopausal women. materials and methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 120 menopausal women were randomly selected and divided into three groups. of these, 40 women ...

Test-retest reliability of individual functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) results is of importance in clinical practice and longitudinal experiments. While several studies have investigated reliability of task-induced motor network activation, less is known about the reliability of the task-free motor network. Here, we investigate the reproducibility of task-free fMRI, and compare it t...

ten varieties of iranian soybeans are cultivated in different areas of the country; persia or sahar (sr), hill (hl), williams (wz), gorgan 3 (gn), clarke (kl), hawkey (hk), zaan (zn), harcor (hr), dare (dr) and simes (ss), grown in tropical regions. samples of these 10 varieties were obtained from the institute of plant and seed research. after sample preparation, their oils were extracted and ...

The strain- and polarization-electric field behavior was characterized at room temperature for Pb0.98Ba0.01(Zr1-x Ti x )0.98Nb0.02O3, 0.40 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.60. The investigated compositions were located in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary, giving insight into the influence of crystal structure on the hysteretic ferroelectric behavior. The remanent strain of particular compositions is show...

Abst?actMultimedia applications comprise several media streams, which are semantically synchronized at different time instants. The application kehavior is stored along with the multimedia database using representation mechanisms such as OCPN (object composition Petri nets) or dynamic timed Petri nets (DTPN). It is imperative that one translates the application behavior to the corresponding sch...

A lignocellulosic waste oiltea shell (OTS) was evaluated as an inexpensive sorbent to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Fungal treatment of OTS increased the MB adsorption by modifying the physicochemical properties of OTS and simultaneously produced laccase as a beneficial co-product. Without fungal treatment, the maximum amount of adsorption (qm) of MB by OTS was 64.4 mg/g, wh...

We investigate different notions of recognizability for a free monoid morphism σ : A∗ → B∗. Full recognizability occurs when each (aperiodic) point in BZ admits at most one tiling with words σ(a), a ∈ A. This is stronger than the classical notion of recognizability of a substitution σ : A∗ → A∗, where the tiling must be compatible with the language of the substitution. We show that if |A| = 2, ...

We study formulas for Fibonacci numbers as sums over compositions. The Fibonacci number Fn+1 is the number of compositions of n with parts 1 and 2. Compositions with parts 1 and 2 form a free monoid under concatenation, and our formulas arise from free submonoids of this free monoid.
