In this paper, we 1. The scaled ABS class. ABS methods have been introduced by Abaffy, Broyden and Spedicato (1984), in a paper where the solution of linear algebraic equations was considered via the so called ABS unscaled or basic class. That class was later generalized to the so called scaled ABS class and then applied also to the solution of linear least squares, nonlinear algebraic equation...

Bismuth sulfide nano-rods and nano-flowers were synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction at a relatively low temperature. Thioglycolic acid is used as sulfur source and capping agent simultaneously. Bi2S3 nanostructures were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer. The thermal stability behavior of ABS filled with bismuth sulfide nano-rods were investigated by thermogravime...

The fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) double-staining (DS) test has been developed for microscopes equipped with incident illumination, and the procedure offers many advantages over the FTA-ABS test when tests are performed with this equipment. In this study, 346 fresh sera, including 35 from patients with syphilis, were evaluated by the FTA-ABS DS test. Parameters for invest...

we present a methodology for characterization and an approach for computing the solutions of fuzzy linear systems with lr fuzzy variables. as solutions, notions of exact and approximate solutions are considered. we transform the fuzzy linear system into a corresponding linear crisp system and a constrained least squares problem. if the corresponding crisp system is incompatible, then the fuzzy ...

Lupus nephritis (LN) remains the most common severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) characterized by the presence of autoantibodies (Abs) that are believed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of LN. Among more than 100 Abs reported in SLE, only a few display a direct glomerular binding capacity. Such antiglomerular Abs are detected at the onset of the disease before a...

This paper proposes an approach to fuzzy modeling of Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABSs). The local state-space models are derived by the linearization of the nonlinear ABS process model at ten operating points. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are obtained by the modal equivalence principle, where the local state-space models are the rule consequents. The optimization problems are defined in ...

OBJECTIVES We sought to test the hypothesis that autoantibodies (Abs) produced against sarcolemmal Na-K-ATPase play a role in the development of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and cardiac sudden death in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). BACKGROUND Autoimmunity is one of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of DCM as well as virus infection and genetic predisposition. METHODS One hundred ...

(A) Let x1 ∈ R n be arbitrary and H1 ∈ R n,n be nonsingular arbitrary. Set i = 1. (B) Compute the residual ri = Axi − b. If ri = 0, then stop, xi solves the problem. Otherwise compute si = HiA T vi, where vi ∈ R n is arbitrary, save that v1, . . . , vi are linearly independent. If si 6= 0, then go to (C). If si = 0 and r T i vi = 0, then set xi+1 = xi, Hi+1 = Hi and go to (F). If si = 0 and r T...

Abs t r ac t . Approximate string matching is a sequential problem and therefore it is possible to solve it using finite automata. A nondeterministic finite automaton is constructed for string matching with k mismatches. It is shown, how "dynamic programming" and "shift-and" based algorithms simulate this nondeterministic finite automaton. The corresponding deterministic finite automaton have O...
