This study looked at the profile of plasma extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) vis-à-vis that of CD4 counts in human immunodeficiency virus subjects in Kano State, Nigeria. The subjects for this study comprised twenty (20) non-HIV infected volunteers as control and one hundred (100) HIV infected subjects. Forty nine (49) infected patients have not been on t...

A correlation-based similarity measure is derived for generalized relevance learning vector quantization (GRLVQ). The resulting GRLVQ-C classifier makes Pearson correlation available in a classification cost framework where data prototypes and global attribute weighting terms are adapted into directions of minimum cost function values. In contrast to the Euclidean metric, the Pearson correlatio...

We construct a Pearson correlation-based network and a partial correlationbased network, i.e., two minimum spanning trees (MST-Pearson and MST-Partial), to analyze the correlation structure and evolution of world stock markets. We propose a new method for constructing the MST-Partial. We use daily price indices of 57 stock markets from 2005 to 2014 and find (i) that the distributions of the Pea...

in spite of the development of various improved cultivars of maize, yield in nigeria has continued to be hampered by the over cropped nature of most farmlands as well as a wide range of pests and diseases. this study therefore carried out an analysis of agro-chemical inputs’ use in maize production among small scale farmers in iwo local government area of osun state. specifically, the study inv...

Discrete wavelet transform is a useful means for crack identification of beam structures. However, its accuracy severely dependent on the selecting mother and vanishing moments, which raises significant challenge in practical structural identification. In this paper, novel approach introduced health monitoring beams to fix challenge. The based combination statistical characteristics vibrational...
