The web-based, Java-written SOCR (Statistical Online Computational Resource) tools have been utilized in many undergraduate and graduate level statistics courses for seven years now (Dinov 2006; Dinov et al. 2008b). It has been proven that these resources can successfully improve students' learning (Dinov et al. 2008b). Being first published online in 2005, SOCR Analyses is a somewhat new compo...

The poweRlaw package provides code to fit heavy tailed distributions, including discrete and continuous power-law distributions. The fitting procedure follows the method detailed in Clauset et al.1. The parameter 1 A. Clauset, C.R. Shalizi, and M.E.J. Newman. Power-law distributions in empirical data. SIAM review, 51(4):661– 703, 2009 values are obtained by maximising the likelihood.

The process of creating multi-unit 3D geological models by successive unit interpolation may be tedious and time-consuming. Here, we propose to automate this procedure through presenting the problem as a classification task and solving it simultaneously with the Support Vector Machine (SVM), a method known from the field of artificial intelligence. Experiments with various input data and kernel...

The Open Force Field (OpenFF) Initiative develops open, reproducible force fields for atomistic molecular simulations as well automated infrastructure and systematic methodology their parametrization validation. Here we describe the extension of OpenFF to support biopolymers, enabling both small molecules biopolymers with a self-consistent field. workflow includes QCSubmit submission curation q...

BACKGROUND New erythrocyte parameters are reported by the Sysmex XE 5000 analyzer. This instrument measures the hemoglobin (Hb) content of individual red cells, calculates the percentage of hypochromic red cells (%Hypo He) and the percentage of hyperchromic red cells (%Hyper He) and quantifies the proportion of marginally sized erythrocytes (%Micro R and %Macro R). The goals of the study were t...

background: according to the attachment theory, anxiety disorders due to the child and based on attachment disorders are defined. this study examined the relationship between mother's attachment style and school anxieties of mentally retarded male students.   methods: all mentally retarded male students of secondary schools during academic year of 2008-2009 in shiraz were studied (127 students)...

ABSTRACT It is well-known that Globular cluster systems are different among galaxies. Here, we test to which degree these differences remain on the scale of galaxy clusters by comparing globular (GCs) in optical surveys Virgo (ACSVCS) and ACS Fornax (ACSFCS) Kolmogorov–Smirnoff Tests. Both were obtained with Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) board Hubble Space Telescope, contain thousands GCs d...
