This paper introduces weakly growing context-sensitive grammars. Abstract-1 Such grammars generalize the class of growing context-sensitive grammars (studied by several authors), in that these grammars have rules that “grow” according to a position valuation. If a position valuation coincides with the initial part of an expoAbstract-2 nential function, it is called a steady position valuation. ...

Background: Information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. Furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. Herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...

In this paper, we extend the parametric approach of VaR estimation that is based upon application two transforms, one for handling skewness and other kurtosis. These transformations restore normality to data when applied in succession. The transforms are well defined offer an alternative models on variance–covariance approach. We demonstrate technique using three pairs uncorrelated but negative...

BACKGROUND The basophil activation test (BAT) using CD63 expression is a sensitive and specific tool for the diagnostic workup of autoimmune chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). The definition of a positive BAT is directly dependent on the reference range and the cutoff values established in control populations. As of now, the pediatric reference range and cutoff values of the CD63 BAT remain t...
