BACKGORUND This study analyzed the presence of DP symptoms in a sample of both psychiatric patients and normal subjects, addressing the issue of DP symptoms in adolescence. METHODS A total of 267 subjects (149 patients and 118 healthy controls) aged between 14 and 65 years, were assessed by means of CDS, the SCID-I and the K-SADS. The sample was then divided into two subsamples with a cut-off...

This paper deenes an optimal method to reconstruct the solutions of operator equations of the rst kind. Only the case of compact operators is considered. The method is in principle a discrepancy method. It does not require any additional knowledge about the solution and is optimal for all standard smoothness assumptions. In order to analyze the properties of the new regularization method variab...

We are developing methods for online (or dynamical) signature verification. Our method is first to move the test signature to the sample signature so that the DP matching can be done well, and then compare the pen information along the matched points of the signatures. However, it is not easy to determine how to use the several elements of discrepancy between them. In this paper, we propose a v...

Specific interactions between desmoplakins I and II (DP I and II) and other desmosomal or cytoskeletal molecules have been difficult to determine in part because of the complexity and insolubility of the desmosome and its constituents. We have used a molecular genetic approach to investigate the role that DP I and II may play in the association of the desmosomal plaque with cytoplasmic intermed...

The numerical analytic continuation of a function f(z) = f(x + iy) on a strip is discussed in this paper. The data are only given approximately on the real axis. The periodicity of given data is assumed. A truncated Fourier spectral method has been introduced to deal with the ill-posedness of the problem. The theoretic results show that the discrepancy principle can work well for this problem. ...

Dumbbell probe (DP) attracts increasing interests in rolling circle amplification (RCA). A universal DP production method through cleavage-ligation of hairpin was proposed and optimized. The production is characterized by restriction endonuclease (RE)-induced cleavage ends ligation. It has the advantage of phosphorylation-free, splint-free and purification-free. To optimize designing, we found ...

A convergent iterative process is constructed for solving any solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space, including equations with unbounded, closed, densely defined linear operators. The method is proved to be stable towards small perturbation of the data. Some abstract results are established and used in an analysis of variational regularization method for equations with unbounded linear ope...

We discuss adaptive strategies for choosing regularization parameters in TikhonovPhillips regularization of discretized linear operator equations. Two rules turn out to be entirely based on the underlying regularization scheme. Among them only the discrepancy principle allows to search for the optimal regularization parameter from the easiest problem. This possible advantage cannot be used with...

Multipass friction stir processing (MP-FSP) is a solid-state surface modification technique, which was developed based on the simple principle of FSW. Aluminium plates were subjected to MP-FSP from 1 14 passes along longitudinal direction with specified process parameters such as rotational speed 1000 rpm and travel 70 mm/min axial force 15 kN. Subsequently, similar had followed by doublepass (...

Environmental crisis and shortage of fossil fuels make Electric Vehicles (EVs) alternatives for conventional vehicles. With growing numbers of EVs, the coordinated charging is necessary to prevent problems such as large peaks and power losses for grid and to minimize charging costs of EVs for EV owners. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal charging schedule based on Dynamic Programming (DP...
