Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...

Denote by Prop(Bn,BN ) the space of proper holomorphic maps from the unit ball Bn ⊂ Cn into the unit ball BN ⊂ CN , Propk(B,B ) := Prop(Bn,BN ) ∩ Ck(Bn) and Rat(Bn,BN ) := Prop(Bn,BN ) ∩ {rational maps}. We recall that F,G ∈ Rat(Bn ,BN ) are said to be equivalent if there are automorphisms σ ∈ Aut(Bn) and τ ∈ Aut(BN ) such that F = τ ◦ G ◦ σ. In this paper, we study the classification problem f...

OBJECTIVE To review the evidence for the validity and utility of subtyping bulimia nervosa (BN) into a purging (BN-P) and a nonpurging subtype (BN-NP), and of distinguishing BN-NP from binge eating disorder (BED), by comparing course, complications, and treatment. METHOD A literature search of psychiatry databases for studies published in peer-reviewed journals that used the DSM-definitions o...

To understand the genetic basis of pathways involved in the control of breathing, a large scale, high-throughput study using chromosomal substitution strains of rats is underway. Eight new consomic rat stains (SS-2(BN), SS-4(BN), SS-6(BN), SS-7(BN), SS-8(BN), SS-11(BN), SS-12(BN), SS-14(BN), SS-Y(BN)), containing one homozygous BN/NHsdMcwi (BN) chromosome on a background of SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS), w...

We prove that there does not exist an orthonormal basis {bn} for L(R) such that the sequences {μ(bn)}, {μ(c bn)}, and {∆(bn)∆( bn)} are bounded. A higher dimensional version of this result that involves generalized dispersions is also obtained. The main tool is a time-frequency localization inequality for orthonormal sequences in L(R). On the other hand, for d > 1 we construct a basis {bn} for ...
