We calculate analytically the probability density P (tm) of the time tm at which a continuous-time Brownian motion (with and without drift) attains its maximum before passing through the origin for the first time. We also compute the joint probability density P (M, tm) of the maximum M and tm. In the driftless case, we find that P (tm) has power-law tails: P (tm) ∼ t −3/2 m for large tm and P (...

This paper describes the new linguistic approaches of the MetaMorphoTM system, a linguistically enriched translation memory. Our aim was to develop an improved TM system that uses linguistic analysis in both source and destination languages to yield more exact matches to the source sentence. The MetaMorphoTM stores and retrieve subsentential segments and uses a linguistically based measure to d...

PURPOSE To evaluate the normal aging effects on trabecular meshwork (TM) parameters using Fourier domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) images. PATIENTS AND METHODS One eye from 45 participants with open angles was imaged. Two independent readers measured TM area, TM length, and area and length of the TM interface shadow from 3 age groups (18-40, 41-60, and 61-80). Meas...

Transition-metal (TM) boride and carboride nanostructures are studied as model organometallic materials for hydrogen storage. The dispersed TM atoms function as H2 sorption centers on the surface of the boron or carbon-boron substrate. The flexibility offered in the variety of possible structures permits the study of the effect of the TM-TM distance on the storage capacity. When the TMs are too...

Effects of trimebutine maleate (TM-906) on the spontaneous motility of the gastrointestinal tracts were investigated in anesthetized dogs by means of force transducers. TM-906, administrated intravenously or intraduodenally, produced an inhibition followed by a potentiation of the spontaneous motility in the stomach, and caused a potentiation of the spontaneous motility in the duodenum, jejunum...
