Almost all activities of the Bank subject to the domination systems. The system itself involves a procedure control, a set of interconnected elements, procedures, methods, and many similar concepts. When the Bank is recruiting employees, it applies to this particular system, which involves placing ads on job interviews, the definition of appropriate skills, discussion of working conditions and so on. This process is a slender organized system with its internal procedures and prescribed norms

Moment Matching-Based Distribution Fitting with Generalized Hyper-Erlang Distributions

This paper describes a novel moment matching based fitting method for phase-type (PH) distributions. A special sub-class of phase-type distributions is introduced for the fitting, called generalized hyper-Erlang distributions. The user has to provide only two parameters: the number of moments to match, and the upper bound for the sum of the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of the distribution, which is related to the maximal size of the resulting PH distribution. Given these two parameters, our method obtains all PH distributions that match the target moments and have a Markovian representation up to the given size. From this set of PH distributions the best one can be selected according to any distance function

The Effects of Silicon Oxide on the Structure, Physical Chemistry Properties, and Bioactivity of Phosphate Glasses Containing Sodium, Strontium, and Titanium Oxides

International audienceGlasses with molar compositions 40Na(2)O-10SrO-(20-x)TiO2-xSiO(2)-30P(2)O(5) (0 <= x <= 10; O/P = 4), were prepared by the classical melt-quenching technique and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and density measurements. The introduction of SiO2 into the phosphate glass slightly weakened the glass network, as shown by the small increase in the molar volume (V M ) and the decrease in the glass transition temperature (T-g). This behavior was due to the existence of more ionic P-O-Si than P-O-P bonds. Spectroscopic studies showed that SiO2, like P2O5 oxide, behaved as a network former and that the glass structure contained P-O, P-O-P, Si-O, Si-O-Si, Ti-O, Ti-O-Ti, P-O-Ti, and P-O-Si linkages. The preliminary results of the in vitro bioactivity tests showed the existence of ionic exchanges between the simulated body fluid (SBF) solution and the studied glasses. X-ray powder diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of the Ca-P layer on the surfaces of the tested compositions

Static and active tactile perception and touch anisotropy: aging and gender effect

Abstract Although the human finger is the interface used for the touch process, very few studies have used its properties to provide a description of tactile perception regarding age and gender effects. Age and gender effects on the biophysical properties of the human finger were the main topics of our previous study. Correlating tactile perception with each parameter proved very complex. We expand on that work to assess the static and dynamic touch in addition to the touch gestures. We also investigate the age and gender effects on tactile perception by studying the finger size and the real contact area (static and dynamic) of forty human fingers of different ages and gender. The size of the finger and the real contact area (static and dynamic) define the density of the mechanoreceptors. This density is an image of the number of mechanoreceptors solicited and therefore of tactile perception (static and dynamic). In addition, the touch gestures used to perceive an object’s properties differ among people. Therefore, we seek to comprehend the tactile perception of different touch gestures due to the anisotropy of mechanical properties, and we study two different directions (top to bottom and left to right)

Transcriptome Assembly, Gene Annotation and Tissue Gene Expression Atlas of the Rainbow Trout

<div><p>Efforts to obtain a comprehensive genome sequence for rainbow trout are ongoing and will be complemented by transcriptome information that will enhance genome assembly and annotation. Previously, transcriptome reference sequences were reported using data from different sources. Although the previous work added a great wealth of sequences, a complete and well-annotated transcriptome is still needed. In addition, gene expression in different tissues was not completely addressed in the previous studies. In this study, non-normalized cDNA libraries were sequenced from 13 different tissues of a single doubled haploid rainbow trout from the same source used for the rainbow trout genome sequence. A total of ~1.167 billion paired-end reads were <i>de novo</i> assembled using the Trinity RNA-Seq assembler yielding 474,524 contigs > 500 base-pairs. Of them, 287,593 had homologies to the NCBI non-redundant protein database. The longest contig of each cluster was selected as a reference, yielding 44,990 representative contigs. A total of 4,146 contigs (9.2%), including 710 full-length sequences, did not match any mRNA sequences in the current rainbow trout genome reference. Mapping reads to the reference genome identified an additional 11,843 transcripts not annotated in the genome. A digital gene expression atlas revealed 7,678 housekeeping and 4,021 tissue-specific genes. Expression of about 16,000–32,000 genes (35–71% of the identified genes) accounted for basic and specialized functions of each tissue. White muscle and stomach had the least complex transcriptomes, with high percentages of their total mRNA contributed by a small number of genes. Brain, testis and intestine, in contrast, had complex transcriptomes, with a large numbers of genes involved in their expression patterns. This study provides comprehensive <i>de novo</i> transcriptome information that is suitable for functional and comparative genomics studies in rainbow trout, including annotation of the genome.</p></div
