Divergence measures have a long association with statistical inference, machine learning and information theory. The density power divergence related produced many useful (and popular) procedures, which provide good balance between model efficiency on one hand outlier stability or robustness the other. logarithmic divergence, particular transform of has also been very successful in producing ef...

Collaborations (between objects) are increasingly being recognized as fundamental building blocks to structure object-oriented design, and they have made their way into UML. But very often the first class aspect of a design level collaboration is lost during the detailed design process, making it difficult to keep good traceability between the design and the implementation. The problem is not s...

Functional dependencies are a popular and useful extension to Haskell style type classes. We give a reformulation of functional dependencies in terms of Constraint Handling Rules (CHRs). In previous work, CHRs have been employed for describing user-programmable type extensions in the context of Haskell style type classes. Here, we make use of CHRs to provide for the first time a concise result ...

The effect of the Twin Block functional orthodontic appliances is mostly dento-alveolar with small skeletal effect. There are certain clinical indications where functional appliances can be used successfully in class II malocclusion e.g. in a growing patient. The use of these appliances is greatly dependent on the patient's compliance and they simplify the fixed appliance phase. In this case, a...

in this paper we use a class of stochastic functional kolmogorov-type model with jumps to describe the evolutions of population dynamics. by constructing a special lyapunov function, we show that the stochastic functional differential equation associated with our model admits a unique global solution in the positive orthant, and, by the exponential martingale inequality with jumps, we dis...
