The length of the four right antennal segments from nymphs and adults of Panstrongylus megistus Burmeister, Rhodnius neglectus Lent, Rhodnius prolixus Stal and Triatoma vitticeps Stal were measured. The length of the antennal segments of the adults of all four species, 4th and 5th instars of P. megistus, and 5th instar of R. neglectus and R. prolixus followed the same pattern: 2nd>3rd>4th>1st. ...

In the current study the influence of weight percentage of HIPS, weight percentage of CNT and hardener content on damping 1st and damping 2nd properties of epoxy/HIPS/CNT hybrid composite wase valuated. Mixture design methodology was employed to generate mathematical models for predicting damping 1st and damping 2nd behaviors of new mentioned hybrid nanocomposite as function of physical factors...

Abstract : Let be a 2nd order ODE. By Cartan equivalence method, we will study the local equivalence problem under the transformations group of time-fixed coordinates. We are going to solve this problem by an applicable method which has been recognized by R. Gardner, and classify them.   

Recall that in the turnstile model, we have some high dimensional vector x ∈ Rn, and each update is of the form xi ← xi+v. We wish to support queries f(x) such as f(x) = xi or f(x) = |support(x)|. Obviously, we could store x in O(n) space or the whole stream (O(m) space), but our goal is to come up with algorithms that use much less space. We proved the following last time Claim 1. Any determin...

This 184-page text, in the words of the authors," has been written to assist medical students, residents, pediatricians, nurses, and family practitioners in developing appropriate hypotheses and a differential diagnosis." To this end, it will certainly prove to be very helpful. The volume contains 51 alphabetically listed chapters (six more than the first edition), each dealing with a specific ...

New CliNiCal GeNetiCs – 2 Nd editioN. The second edition of this book within four years of the first edition, shows how fast moving the specialty of genetics is – the up to date changes from the recent first edition means that the book justifies its title. The primary readership here is for medical students, but the clinical information would be of interest to all branches of medicine, and thos...

First, we introduce some additional notation for the sake of better understanding. In the lecture, we identified the subset of R consisting of constant sequences of rationals with the field of rationals Q via the correspondence Q→ R : r 7→ LIMn→∞ (r,r,r, · · · ) (1) For beginners, however, this identification may come to a source of confusion unless they develop mathematical maturity to some ex...

As the title states, Physiology by Numbers allows the unskilled mathematician to understand sometimes confusing and complex physiological principles through a concise and simple quantitative approach. While I would not recommend this book as the sole source for the firsttime physiology student, it is a great accompaniment to lecture notes and USMLE Step I board review books, which often emphasi...

Let 〈x1, x2, ..., xm〉 be the access sequence. For each access xj compute the following Wilber number. We look at where xj fits among xi, xi+1, ..., xj−1 for all i = j−1, j−2... that is, counting backwards from j − 1 until the previous access to the key xj. Now, we say that ai < xj < bi, where ai and bi are the tightest bounds on xj discovered so far. Each time i is decremented, either ai increa...
