We consider the state complexity of basic operations on non-returning regular languages. For a non-returning minimal DFA, the start state does not have any in-transitions. We establish the precise state complexity of four Boolean operations (union, intersection, difference, symmetric difference), catenation, reverse, and Kleene-star for non-returning regular languages. Our results are usually s...

This paper clarifies the occurrence factors of commuters unable to return home and the returning-home decision-making at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake by using Twitter data. First, to extract the behavior data from the tweet data, we identify each user’s returning-home behavior using support vector machines. Second, we create non-verbal explanatory factors using geotag data and ve...

In Italy, Toscana virus is the most common cause of meningitis from May to October. Though only a few cases have been reported in U.S. travelers returning from Europe, most cases are likely unrecognized due to lack of familiarity with the disease. Here, we describe the case of an 82-year-old man presenting with fever, profound weakness, and hearing loss after returning to the United States foll...

A century ago, Srinivasa Ramanujan -- the great self-taught Indian genius of mathematics died, shortly after returning from Cambridge, UK, where he had collaborated with Godfrey Hardy. contributed numerous outstanding results to different branches mathematics, like analysis and number theory, a focus on special functions series. Here we refer apparently weird values which assigned two simple di...

Workers who become work-incapacitated may try to change employer or stay with their current employer in an accommodated job. We study the effect of these strategies on sick-listed workers’ employment durations. We use survey and register data of 809 workers. We simultaneously estimate the duration until returning to work and the duration of employment using the timing-of-event approach. We find...

In producing realistic, animatable models of the human body, we see much to be gained from developing a functional anatomy that links the anatomical and physiological behavior of the body through fundamental causal principles. This paper describes our current Finite Element Method implementation of a simplified lung and chest cavity during normal quiet breathing and then disturbed by a simple p...
