We present an improved estimate of the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting small stars by searching the full four-year Kepler data set for transiting planets using our own planet detection pipeline and conducting transit injection and recovery simulations to empirically measure the search completeness of our pipeline. We identified 156 planet candidates, including one object that was not ...

XRT 201423 is an X-ray transient with a nearly flat plateau lasting 4.1 ks followed by steep decay. This feature indicates that it might come from magnetar formed through binary neutron star merger, similar to CDF-S XT2 and as predicted type of electromagnetic counterpart mergers. We test the compliance data this model use observed duration flux signal well upper limits optical emission pose co...

We evaluated the accuracy of an erythromycin-clindamycin double-disk test (D-zone test) and an erythromycin-telithromycin D-zone test for detection of inducible resistance in isolates of beta-hemolytic streptococci with erythromycin resistance. The results of these tests were compared to results of a broth microdilution (BMD) induction test using combinations of erythromycin and either clindamy...

The direct F.A. Method has been used for diffe­rentiation of virulent and avirulent lines of influenza viruses. A positive fluorescence was obtained indi­cating the level of virus in the tissues, sorbing with dried mouse powder helped to reduce non-specific staining. The virulent line showed the greatest num­ber of fluorescent cells with the peak at 10 hours. the non-virulent lines showed a gra...

The detection of sequence similarity within the twilight zone has been a challenging problem in sequence analysis. Among various types of approaches for sequence similarity detection, the profileprofile comparison is one of the most reliable approaches [4]. In this study, we design a profile, named match-node profile, which is generated from match nodes in the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) profiles.

Aim: To describe and classify patterns of abnormal fundus autofluorescence (FAF) in the junctional zone of geographic atrophy (GA) in patients with age related macular degeneration. Methods: Digital FAF images were recorded in 164 eyes of 107 patients using a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO; excitation 488 nm, detection above 500 nm) as part of a prospective multicentre natural his...

We study the problem of detecting and localizing objects in still, gray-scale images making use of the part-based representation provided by non-negative matrix factorizations. Non-negative matrix factorization represents an emerging example of subspace methods which is able to extract interpretable parts from a set of template image objects and then to additively use them for describing indivi...
