Regression testing is the process of validating modified software to assure that changed parts of software behave as intended and unchanged parts of software have not been adversely affected by the modification. The regression test suite is typically large and needs an intelligent method to choose those test cases which will reduce the overall test cost. In this situation, test case prioritizat...

MOTIVATION In ordinary regression, imposition of a lasso penalty makes continuous model selection straightforward. Lasso penalized regression is particularly advantageous when the number of predictors far exceeds the number of observations. METHOD The present article evaluates the performance of lasso penalized logistic regression in case-control disease gene mapping with a large number of SN...

aim : to determine the associated factors of reflux duration, using quantile regression model. background : reflux is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorders.  statistical tools are widely used to assess the associated factors on reflux severity and frequency. patients and methods : a door to door questionnaire has been used to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms including reflux an...

In this paper, the notion of cyclic $varphi$-contraction in fuzzymetric spaces is introduced and a fixed point theorem for this typeof mapping is established. Meantime, an example is provided toillustrate this theorem. The main result shows that a self-mappingon a G-complete fuzzy metric space has a unique fixed point if itsatisfies the cyclic $varphi$-contraction. Afterwards, some results inco...

BACKGROUND Pollen information is indispensable for allergic individuals and clinicians. This study aimed to develop forecasting models for the total annual count of airborne pollen grains based on data monitored over the last 20 years at the Mie Chuo Medical Center, Tsu, Mie, Japan. METHODS Airborne pollen grains were collected using a Durham sampler. Total annual pollen count and pollen coun...

Kinetic parameters and the renal clearances of plasma adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) were evaluated in normal subjects using tritium-labeled cyclic nucleotides. Each tracer was administered both by single, rapid intravenous injection and by constant intravenous infusion, and the specific activities of the cyclic nucleotides in plasma an...

in this paper we provide explicit formulas for the number of elements/subgroups/cyclic subgroups of a given order and for the total number of subgroups/cyclic subgroups in a finite hamiltonian group. the coverings with three proper subgroups and the principal series of such a group are also counted. finally, we give a complete description of the lattice of characteristic subgroups of a finite h...

this experiment was conducted to examine the effect of multi-strain probiotic (primalac) on performance, immune responses and cecal microflora in broiler chickens under cyclic heat stress condition. a total of 96 one-d-old mixed sex broiler chicks (ross 308) were weighed and randomly allocated to two treatment groups, each with 4 replicate pens of 12 chicks. the dietary treatments were basal di...

electrode potential of 2-(2,3-dihydroxy phenyl)-1,3-dithiane (dpd) was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry (cv) at various potential scan rates. the calculated value was compared with the experimental value obtained by cyclic voltammetry (cv). all experiments were done in aqueous phosphate buffer solutions at different phs. the experimental redox potential of dpd was obtained to be 0.75...
