The generalized Brain-State-in-a-Box (gBSB) neural network is a generalized version of the BrainState-in-a-Box (BSB) neural network. The BSB net is a simple nonlinear autoassociative neural network that was proposed by J. A. Anderson, J. W. Silverstein, S. A. Ritz, and R. S. Jones in 1977 as a memory model based on neurophysiological considerations. The BSB model gets its name from the fact tha...

The solitaire cone SB is the cone of all feasible fractional Solitaire Peg games. Valid inequalities over this cone, known as pagoda functions, were used to show the infeasibility of various peg games. The link with the well studied dual metric cone and the similarities between their combinatorial structures see (3) leads to the study of a dual cut cone analogue; that is, the cone generated by ...

We screened 80 Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars for the presence of submergence-tolerance gene SUB1A-1 and floating genes SNORKEL1 (SK1) SNORKEL2 (SK2), found that deepwater cultivar Baisbish (BSB) submergence-tolerant Flood Resistant 13A (FR13A) both possess SK1/2. When BSB FR13A seedlings were completely submerged, spindly growth shoots was induced in but not FR13A. Submergence signific...

We calculate the decay rate ratios for OZI allowed decays of Υ(5S) to two B mesons by using the decay amplitudes which incorporate the wave function of the Υ(5S) state. We obtain the results that the branching ratio of the Υ(5S) decay to B∗ sB ∗ s is much larger than the branching ratio to BsB ∗ s or BsB ∗ s , in good agreement with recent experimental results of CLEO and BELLE. This agreement ...

We study a generalization of the brain-state-in-a-box (BSB) model for a class of nonlinear discrete dynamical systems where we allow the states of the system to lie in an arbitrary convex body. The states of the classical BSB model are restricted to lie in a hypercube. Characterizations of equilibrium points of the system are given using the support function of a convex body. Also, sufficient c...

The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System ° (BRFSS) is a collaborative project of the Centers for ° Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and U.S. states and territories. The BRFSS, administered and supported ° by the Behavioral Surveillance Branch (BSB) of the CDC, ° is an on-going data collection program designed to ° measure behavioral risk factors in adults 18 years of age ° or older. ...
