BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is caused by high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). DNA testing of such high-risk types of HPV could improve cervical screening.The aim of the study was to compare the sensitivities and positive predictive values of two commercially available typing assays (Qiagen LQ and Roche LA) and to comparatively assess the distribution of HPV types with these two assays....

G. BIRKHOFF and J . v . NEUMANN1 have shown in 1936 that the closed linear manifolds (subspaces) of the Hilbert space form a complete atomic and ortho-complemented lattice LQ which at least for finite dimensional subspaces is also modular. JAUCH 2 ' 3 , PIRON4 and KAMBER5 have pointed out, that instead of the modularity a weeker condition can be formulated in LQ which is always fulfilled for th...

We consider a class of `0-regularized linearquadratic (LQ) optimal control problems. This class of problems is obtained by augmenting a penalizing sparsity measure to the cost objective of the standard linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) problem in order to promote sparsity pattern of the state feedback controller. This class of problems is generally NP hard and computationally intractable. First,...

Cocaine, as an indirect dopamine agonist, induces selective behavioral and physiological events such as hyperlocomotion and dopamine release. These changes are considered as consequences of cocaine-induced molecular adaptation such as CREB and c-Fos. Recently, methanolic extracts from licorice was reported to decrease cocaine-induced dopamine release and c-Fos expression in the nucleus accumben...

This paper presents a method for finding an Lqclosest-point to a set of affine subspaces, that is a point for which the sum of the q-th power of orthogonal distances to all the subspaces is minimized, where 1 ≤ q < 2. We give a theoretical proof for the convergence of the proposed algorithm to a unique Lq minimum. The proposed method is motivated by the Lq Weiszfeld algorithm, an extremely simp...

In this paper we consider a nonlinear control design for nonlinear systems by using two-stage formal linearization and twotype LQ controls. The ordinary LQ control is designed on almost linear region around the steady state point. On the other region, another control is derived as follows. This derivation is based on coordinate transformation twice with respect to linearization functions which ...
