The relative contributions of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) to body weight are key indicators for several major public health issues. Predictive models could offer new insights into body composition analysis. A non-parametric equation derived from a probabilistic Bayesian network (BN) was established by including sex, age, body weight and height. We hypothesised that it would be possibl...

From January 1999 to May 2001, we investigated seasonal variations in the photosynthetic capacity of Taiwan spruce (Picea morrisonicola Hay.) growing in the subalpine region of subtropical Taiwan (23 degrees 29' N, 120 degrees 53' E, 2600 m a.s.l.). Photosynthetic capacity (near light-saturated net photosynthetic rate, Pnsat, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) and soluble protein concentration of...

The quantum integer [n]q is the polynomial 1+q+q+ · · ·+q. Two sequences of polynomials U = {un(q)}∞n=1 and V = {vn(q)} ∞ n=1 define a linear addition rule ⊕ on a sequence F = {fn(q)}∞n=1 by fm(q) ⊕ fn(q) = un(q)fm(q)+vm(q)fn(q). This is called a quantum addition rule if [m]q⊕[n]q = [m + n]q for all positive integers m and n. In this paper all linear quantum addition rules are determined, and a...

We apply the Cassini shape parameterization to dynamical study of actinide fission using multi-dimensional Langevin equation. The fragment mass distributions for 236 U and 256, 258 Fm are calculated with 4D collective space is formed by adding either α 3 or 6 basic 3D {α, 1 , 4 } space. investigate role comparing results (α ) that 3D. For 236U 256Fm, where asymmetric predominant, in good agreeme...

We consider stochastic differential equations in d-dimensional Euclidean space driven by an m-dimensional Wiener process, determined by the drift vector field f0 and the diffusion vector fields f1, · · · , fm, and investigate the existence of global random attractors for the associated flows φ. For this purpose φ is decomposed into a stationary diffeomorphism Φ given by the stochastic different...

We present a perturbative calculation of the neutron matter equation of state based on low-momentum twoand three-nucleon interactions. Our results are compared to the model-independent virial equation of state and to variational calculations, and we provide theoretical error estimates by varying the cutoff used to regulate nuclear interactions. In addition, we study the dependence of the BCS S0...

We solve the quantum Vlasov equation for fermions and bosons, incorporating spontaneous pair creation in the presence of back-reactions and collisions. Pair creation is initiated by an external impulse field and the source term is nonMarkovian. A simultaneous solution of Maxwell’s equation in the presence of feedback yields an internal current and electric field that exhibit plasma oscillations...
