background: potential association of leptin (lep) gene polymorphisms has been suggested in the processes leading to breast cancer initiation and progression. we investigated whether genetic variations in the lep -2548g/a gene are associated with risk of breast cancer. methods: this case-control study consisted of 100 breast cancer cases and 100 control subjects without breast cancer that matche...

This work aims at introducing some energy operators linked to Teager-Kaiser energy operator (TKEO) (Kaiser in On a simple algorithm to calculate the energy of a signal, pp 381–384, 1990), its associated higher order versions and expanding them to multidimensional signals. These operators are very useful for analysing oscillatory signals with time-varying amplitude and frequency (AM–FM). We firs...
