Declarative memory is an explicit, long-term memory system, used in generalization and categorization processes and to make inferences and to predict probable outcomes in novel situations. Animals have been proven to possess a similar declarative-lik...

The game of life (GL), a type of two-dimensional cellular automaton, has been the subject of many studies because of its simple mechanism and complex behavior. In particular, the construction of logic circuits using the GL has helped to extend the co...

Biometric template protection (BTP) schemes are implemented to increase public confidence in biometric systems regarding data privacy and security in recent years. The introduction of BTP has naturally incurred loss of information for security, which...

Plastic anisotropy significantly affects the behavior of structures and machine parts. Given the many parameters that classify a structure made of anisotropic material, analytic and semi-analytic solutions are very useful for parametric analysis and...

We introduce a new class of distributions called the epsilon–positive family, which can be viewed as generalization of the distributions with positive support. The construction of the epsilon–positive family is motivated by the ideas behind the gener...

Two principles govern the critical temperature for superconducting transitions: (1) intrinsic strength of the pair coupling and (2) the effect of the many-body environments on the efficiency of that coupling. Most discussions take into account only t...

To accurately assess the hemolysis risk of the ventricular assist device, this paper proposed a cell destruction model and the corresponding evaluation parameters based on multiphase flow. The single-phase flow and multiphase flow in two patient-spec...

A connected graph G is said to be a cactus if any two cycles have at most one vertex in common. The multiplicative sum Zagreb index of a graph G is the product of the sum of the degrees of adjacent vertices in G. In this paper, we introduce several g...

DNA N4-Methylcytosine is a genetic modification process which has an essential role in changing different biological processes such as DNA conformation, DNA replication, DNA stability, cell development and structural alteration in DNA. Due to its neg...

Although the power of low-frequency oscillatory field potentials (FP) has been extensively applied previously, few studies have investigated the influence of conducting direction of deep-brain rhythm generator on the power distribution of low-frequen...
