the current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.the method is based on galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. fora highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix forthe derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. several testproblems are given, a...

background: transferrin is a negative acute phase protein, which decreases during inflammation and infection. the aim of the present study was to evaluate changes in the transferrin serum levels subsequent to non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontal disease. methods: twenty patients with chronic periodontitis and 20 systemically healthy subjects without periodontal disease, who had referre...

Sparse support vector machine (SVM) is a popular classification technique that can simultaneously learn a small set of the most interpretable features and identify the support vectors. It has achieved great successes in many real-world applications. However, for large-scale problems involving a huge number of samples and extremely high-dimensional features, solving sparse SVMs remains challengi...

Abstract We analyze magnetic field data from two magnetosheath crossings, representative of a larger collection similar cases in the database Cluster spacecraft. apply novel analysis method to identify power-law behavior structure functions and find validity range scaling. validate technique with solar wind synthetic signal. This approach grants rigorous determination scale for linear fit funct...

This study investigates the dynamics of simultaneous impact two droplets on a dry substrate. We develop new micro-controlled droplet generator that releases equally sized water simultaneously on-demand, with no trailing droplets. The Weber number, based size and velocity, inter-droplet spacing relative to are varied in ranges 54 155 1.32 2.25, respectively, leading strong interaction spreading ...

Background: Considering the increasing number of patients with hemophilia and infrastructure requirements for a comprehensive approach, development of a recombinant factor has become a milestone. The objective of this study was to assess the safety, efficacy and non inferiority of Safacto (Recombinant factor VIII) compared with plasma-derived factor in the treatment of hemophilia A. Methods: 10 ...

In English as a Second Language Teaching and Testing situations, it is common to infer about learners’ reading ability based on his or her total score on a reading test. This assumes the unidimensional and reproducible nature of reading items. However, few researches have been conducted to probe the issue through psychometric analyses. In the present study, the IELTS exemplar module C (1994) wa...
