The most powerful assumption in data analysis is that of independence. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to check, so it often must stay as an assumption. One way out of this trap is to assume less independence than usual: Instead of assuming all n observations are i.i.d. (independently and identically distributed), it is often more credible to assume that several blocks of the data are in...

In July 2007, > 100 striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, were found dead along the coast of the Spanish Mediterranean. Of 10 dolphins tested, 7 were positive for a virus strain closely related to the dolphin morbillivirus that was isolated during a previous epizootic in 1990.

We give an explicit formula for the Borel transform of the power series when q = e1/x from which its analytic continuation, its singularities (all on the positive real axis) and the local monodromy can be manifestly determined. We also give two formulas (one involving the Dedekind eta function, and another involving the complex error function) for the right, left and median summation of the Bor...

The topic of IT Architecture has emerged as a popular term in recent years, in particular by the term Service Oriented Architecture. In many ways there is nothing new about IT Architecture; what is new is that both public and private sector organisations are freshly receptive to talking about the strategic shaping of Information Technology using the language of Architecture. Information Archite...

Abstract. The Euler-MacLaurin summation formula relates a sum of a function to a corresponding integral, with a remainder term. The remainder term has an asymptotic expansion, and for a typical analytic function, it is a divergent (Gevrey-1) series. Under some decay assumptions of the function in a half-plane (resp. in the vertical strip containing the summation interval), Hardy (resp. Abel-Pla...

We show that two ostensibly different versions of the asymptotic resurgence introduced by E. Guardo, B. Harbourne and A. Van Tuyl in 2013 are same. also attain their maximal values simultaneously, if at all, which we apply to a conjecture Grifo. For radical ideals points, minimal simultaneously. In addition, introduce an integral closure version relate it other resurgence. closing provide vario...

tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis and is the primary cause of mortality in the world. m. tuberculosis strains are important intracellular pathogens causing infection in oxygen-rich macrophages in the lungs. the emergence of aids, declined socioeconomic standards and a lessened emphasis on tb control programs have contributed to the disease resurgence. re...

There appears to be a resurgence of puerperal sepsis due to a historically important pathogen, group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus.

Although contextual weak independence (CWI) has shown promise in leading to more efficient probabilistic inference, no investigation has examined how CWIs can be obtained. In this paper, we suggest and analyze two methods for obtaining this kind of independence.
