in human breast cancer, estrogen receptor (er) status of the tumor has prognostic and therapeutic significance. however, facilities to study er are not widely available to us. we postulated that if there is a correlation between histologic grade and er status of invasive ductal carcinoma (idc), it may help predict the er status of the tumor. of 8 4 cases of breast carcinoma referred to the canc...

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎a subgroup‎ ‎$h$ of $g$ is called an $mathcal h $ -subgroup in‎ ‎$g$ if $n_g (h)cap h^gleq h$ for all $gin‎ ‎g$. a subgroup $h$ of $g$ is called a weakly‎ $mathcal h^ast $-subgroup in $g$ if there exists a‎ ‎subgroup $k$ of $g$ such that $g=hk$ and $hcap‎ ‎k$ is an $mathcal h$-subgroup in $g$. we‎ ‎investigate the structure of the finite group $g$ under the‎ ‎assump...

let $r$ be a commutative ring. the purpose of this article is to introduce a new class of ideals of r called weakly irreducible ideals. this class could be a generalization of the families quasi-primary ideals and strongly irreducible ideals. the relationships between the notions primary, quasi-primary, weakly irreducible, strongly irreducible and irreducible ideals, in different rings, has bee...

We have developed a Bayesian classi er to determine whether syllables in connected Thai speech are weakly or strongly stressed by using ve acoustic parameters: syllable rhyme duration, mean F0, F0 standard deviation, mean energy, and the standard deviation of the energy. With speaker-dependent data normalization, we achieved a classi cation accuracy of 99%. The classi cation accuracy drops to 9...

Using French data, we show that ELIE performs rather weakly when it comes to addressing the issue of poverty. Yet, eliminating poverty is also a valid normative property of any redistribution mechanism. We suggest combining ELIE with another redistributive solution aimed specifically at alleviating poverty: the personal allowance mechanism (Leroux, 2004 and 2007). We argue that ELIE and the per...

Three recent papers, Green and Lin, Peck and Shell, and Andolfatto et. al., study optima in almost identical versions of the Diamond-Dybvig model. They di¤er about what agents know when they make early withdrawals. We view all three as special cases of a framework in which the planner chooses how much to reveal. It is shown that (i) the Peck-Shell conclusion, the best weakly implementable outco...

Let S be a topological semigroup acting on a topological space X. We develop the theory of (weakly) almost periodic functions on X, with respect to S, and form the (weakly) almost periodic compactifications of X and S, with respect to each other. We then consider the notion of an action of Son a Banach space, and on its dual, and after defining S-invariant means for such a space, we give a...

The dynamic stability of a composite plate with external electrorheological (ER) damper subjected to an axial periodic load is investigated. Electrorheological fluids are a class of smart materials, which exhibit reversible changes in mechanical properties when subjected to an electric field. As a result, the dynamic behavior of the structure is changed. The ER damper is used for suppressing th...
