Let M be a finite or countable set of models (here we only deal with finite M but Bayes factors make sense for countable M). For each model m ∈ M we have the prior probability of the model pri(m). It does not matter if this prior on models is unnormalized. Each model m has a parameter space Θm and a prior g(θ | m), θ ∈ Θm The spaces Θm can and usually do have different dimensions. That’s the po...

We present an algebraic Bethe ansatz for certain submanifolds of the bilayer vertex models proposed by Shiroishi and Wadati as coupled asymmetric six-vertex free-fermion models. A peculiar feature of our formulation is the presence of a diagonal monodromy matrix element that does not generate unwanted terms. The model contains two free-parameters entering into the Bethe ansatz equations as a pu...

in order to study of drought tolerance levels in some wheat lines and cultivars based on uniform regional wheat yield trial (urwyt-m-75) an experiment was carried out using a strip plot design based on complete block design with 3 replications for two years (1998-2000) in torogh agricultural research station (mashhad, iran). the main plots (horizontal factor) were 3 levels of irrigation: 10, 20...

background: intrauterine insemination (iui) is one of the therapeutic approaches for infertility. the objective of this study was to evaluate dna integrity and apoptosis role in success of iui in both mild male and female factor infertility. methods: patients were divided into two groups: m (mild male factor; n=29) and f (female factor; n=31) undergoing single iui. ejaculates were analyzed and ...

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) forms a functional receptor complex containing the CNTF receptor, gp130, and the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR). However, the nature and stoichiometry of the receptor-mediated interactions in this complex have not yet been fully resolved. We show here that signaling by CNTF, but not by LIF or oncostatin M (OSM), was abolished in cells overexpressin...
