We establish orthogonality relations for the Baker–Akhiezer (BA) eigenfunctions of the Macdonald difference operators. We also obtain a version of Cherednik–Macdonald–Mehta integral for these functions. As a corollary, we give a simple derivation of the norm identity and Cherednik–Macdonald–Mehta integral for Macdonald polynomials. In the appendix written by the first author, we prove a summati...

Learning objectives • To evaluate indications for PET-CT in plasma cell dyscrasias and its added value over other imaging modalities with review of literature based evidence and reference to the RCR/RCP guidelines. • To discuss the use of PET-CT and subsequent clinical impact at our institution with pictorial illustration. • To discuss the limitations and potential pitfalls of PET-CT with picto...

We consider sample size re-estimation in a clinical trial, in particular when there is a significant delay before the measurement of patient response. Mehta and Pocock have proposed methods in which sample size is increased when interim results fall in a 'promising zone' where it is deemed worthwhile to increase conditional power by adding more subjects. Our analysis reveals potential pitfalls ...

Uptil now most of the work is done on image, video, audio.but today the Database watermarking becomes the research topic because of the increasing the use of relational database systems. Which deals with the legal issue of copyright protection of database systems. .Watermarking is an information hiding technique which is used to embed a mark within some host content. In this paper,we have focus...
