j j j k z T z T z = = ∑ where T is a 2D similarity transformation. Proof: Similarity transformations can be represented using a linear polynomial over the complex plane in the following way. If the similarity transformation T consists of rotation by positive angle θ, uniform scale s and a translation t = tx + ity, then according to the rules of complex numbers: ( ) ( ) i T x iy T z se z t z θ +...

In their recent paper, Barker and Howell reviewed some of the more recent literature on the reliability and validity of the penile plethysmograph in the assessment of male sex offenders. Although Barker and Howell recognized that the test has not been standardized and that the results are susceptible to faking, they nevertheless maintained that the plethysmograph is useful in the evaluation and...

This document specifies a method for transmission of IPv6 datagrams over the same medium as specified for IPv4 datagrams in RFC 1149. Status of This Memo This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This is a contribution to the RFC Series, independently of any other RFC stream. The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at ...

Let H be a finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra. Recently it was shown in [LM] that a version of the Frobenius-Schur theorem holds for Hopf algebras, and thus that the Schur indicator ν(χ) of the character χ of a simple H-module is well-defined; this fact for the special case of Kac algebras was shown in [FGSV]. In this paper we show that for an important class of non-trivial Hopf algebra...

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the MSH4-MSH5, MLH1-MLH3, and MUS81-MMS4 complexes act to promote crossing over during meiosis. MSH4-MSH5, but not MUS81-MMS4, promotes crossovers that display interference. A role for MLH1-MLH3 in crossover control is less clear partly because mlh1Delta mutants retain crossover interference yet display a decrease in crossing over that is only slightly less severe th...

In this paper, we study the convergence of the generalized accelerated overrelaxation (GAOR) iterative method. That is an extension of the classical convergence result of the generalized successive overrelaxation (GSOR) iterative method. We proposed some theorems, which they obtain better results than similar works. By some numerical examples we show the goodness of our results. 2006 Elsevier I...

We propose using profile compatibility to differentiate genuine and fake product reviews. For each product, a collective profile is derived from a separate collection of reviews. Such a profile contains a number of aspects of the product, together with their descriptions. For a given unseen review about the same product, we build a test profile using the same approach. We then perform a bidirec...

The tactile surface forms a continuous sheet covering the body. And yet, the perceived distance between two touches varies across stimulation sites. Perceived tactile distance is larger when stimuli cross over the wrist, compared to when both fall on either the hand or the forearm. This effect could reflect a categorical distortion of tactile space across body-part boundaries (in which stimuli ...
