Abstract. In this paper, firstly we define n×n circulant matrices U =Circ (U0, U1, . . . , Un−1), V =Circ (V0, . . . , Vn−1), T =Circ (T0, . . . , Tn−1) and S =Circ (S0, . . . , Sn−1), where {Un} and {Vn} are generalized Fibonacci and Lucas types second order linear recurrences, {Tn} and {Sn} are Tribonacci sequences with different initial conditions. After we study spectral noms of these matri...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in patients suffering from dysphagia following treatment for head and neck cancer. In a prospective, double blinded, randomized case control study between January 2006 and December 2007, 14 patients were randomized to 30min of NMES and 30min of traditional swallowing training for 5 days per week ...

The criteria for sexual homicide was taken from the UK National Offender Management Service (NOMS) Offender Assessment System (OASys) research database, and included murders where a ...

Introduction: Natural organic matters (NOMs) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (DBPs). Humic matters like humic acid (HA) are component of NOMs that should be removed from water. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is one of the NOMs removal methods. The aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...

In this paper, we tackle the problem of the translation of proper names. We introduce our hypothesis according to which proper names can be translated more often than most people seem to think. Then, we describe the construction of a parallel multilingual corpus used to illustrate our point. We eventually evaluate both the advantages and limits of this corpus in our study. Mots clés : noms prop...

Les principaux outils de visualisation de données multidimensionnelles sont d’une part les analyses en axes principaux, qui portent des noms divers mais qui sont presque toutes fondées sur la décomposition aux valeurs singulières, et d’autre part les méthodes de classification, incluant les cartes auto-organisées de Kohonen. Ces deux familles d’outils sont d’ailleurs complémentaires, et leur us...
