In this paper the problem of estimating a covariance matrix parametrized by an irreducible symmetric cone in a decision-theoretic set-up is considered. By making use of some results developed in a theory of finite-dimensional Euclidean simple Jordan algebras, Bartlett’s decomposition and an unbiased risk estimate formula for a general family of Wishart distributions on the irreducible symmetric...

We discuss a scheme for performing Jordan-Wigner transformation various lattice fermion systems in two and three dimensions which keeps internal spatial symmetries manifest. The correspondence between fermionic bosonic operators is established with the help of auxiliary Majorana fermions. current construction applicable to general lattices even coordination number an arbitrary flavors. approach...

The derivation of conservation laws and invariant functions is an essential procedure for the investigation nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study we consider a two-field cosmological model with scalar fields defined in Jordan frame. particular Brans-Dicke field theory second quintessence minimally coupled to gravity. For apply first time new technique without application variational symmet...

background : the incidence of thyroid cancer has varied from 2 per 100,000 in europe to 21 per 100,000 in the hawaiian chinese population and is 2-3 fold more common in females. middle east cancer consortium figures from 1996-2001 have recorded different age standardized incidence rates that ranged from 2 per 100,000 in egypt to 7.5 per 100,000 among israeli jews. in jordan the age standardized...

Experimental data on angular distributions of γ rays emitted from binary and ternary spontaneous fission of 252 Cf are analyzed. Their difference indicates that the alignment of fragments is higher in ternary fission than in binary one. The consequences of possible relation between the mechanism of ternary fission and the excitation of collective modes during the saddle-to-scission stage are di...

While one-bit ΣΔ modulators are widely used in Analog to Digital conversion stages due to their inherent linearity and precision, it is less common for the entire digital processing path to operate in single bit mode at the oversampled rate of the conversion system. The conventional approach has been to decimate the signal bit stream after conversion and for the remaining processing to be perfo...

Isobolographic analysis provides a fundamental basis for assessing whether biological responses induced by mixtures of agents are greater, equal or smaller than would have been expected on the basis of the individual activities of the component agents and the concept of dose additivity. Limited in its direct application to binary mixtures, isobolographic analysis provides a conceptual framework...

Ternary complexes of meloxicam (ME) (a poorly water soluble anti-inflammatory drug) with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPbetaCD) and either a hydrophilic polymer, namely, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) or a basic amino acid such as L-arginine, were prepared by the spray-drying technique. The solubilizing efficiency, physical properties and dissolution behaviour of each ternary system of ME-HPbe...

A proper formulation in the perturbative renormalization group method is presented to deduce amplitude equations. The formulation makes it possible not only avoiding a serious diiculty in the previous reduction to amplitude equations by eliminating all of the secular terms but also consistent derivation of higher-order correction to amplitude equations. Recently a novel method based on the pert...
