This article is concerned primarily with the intrinsic anisotropy in the angular distribution of 2281 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) collected in Current BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog until the end of year 1998, and, second, with intrinsic anisotropies of three subclasses (”short”, ”intermediate”, ”long”) of GRBs. Testing based on spherical harmonics of each class, in equatorial coordinates, is presen...

By investigating the action of the 0-Hecke algebra on the coinvariant algebra and the complete flag variety, we interpret generating functions counting the permutations with fixed inverse descent set by their inversion number and major index. Résumé. En étudiant l’action de l’algèbre de 0-Hecke sur l’algèbre coinvariante et la variété de drapeaux complète, nous interprétons les fonctions généra...

Introduction: Aging reduces the ability to understand speech in noise. Hearing rehabilitation is one of the ways to help older people communicate effectively. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vowel auditory training on the improvement of speech-in-noise (SIN) perception among elderly listeners.   Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 36 elderly ...

We analyzed dual-capture data collected during longitudinal studies monitoring transmission and persistence of Sin Nombre virus in rodents in Colorado. Our data indicate that multiple captures (two or more rodents captured in a single trap) may not be random, as indicated by previous studies, but rather the result of underlying, species-specific social behavior or cohesiveness. In the pairs we ...

The partial fraction decomposition method is explored to establish several interesting trigonometric function identities, which may have applications to the evaluation of classical multiple hypergeometric series, trigonometric approximation and interpolation. 1. Outline and introduction Recently, in an attempt to prove, through the Cauchy residue method, Dougall’s theorem (Dougall [6, 1907], se...
