X-TMCMC: Adaptive kriging for Bayesian inverse modeling
(2015)The Bayesian inference of models associated with large-scale simulations is prohibitively expensive even for massively parallel architectures. We demonstrate that we can drastically reduce this cost by combining adaptive ... -
Xanthogranulomatous salpingitis: Report of three cases and comparison with a case of pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis
(2008)Xanthogranulomatous inflammation, an uncommon form of chronic inflammation, has been described in several organs including those of the female genital tract. A rare condition described as pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis or ... -
XbaI GLUT1 gene polymorphism and the risk of type 2 diabetes with nephropathy
(2009)Altered expression of the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT1 affects pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. There is indication that variation of GLUT1 gene (SLC2A1) contributes to development ... -
Xcas as a programming environment for stability conditions for a class of differential equation models in economics
(2011)In this paper we examine the property of asymptotic stability in several dynamic economic systems, modeled in ordinary differential equation formulations of time parameter t. Asymptotic stability ensures intertemporal ... -
XOR-Based Encoding With Instantaneous Decoding for the Broadcast Erasure Channel With Feedback: The Three-User Case
(2014)We study the case of a three-user broadcast erasure channel with multiple unicast traffic sessions, where feedback from the users is fed back to the transmitter in the form of positive acknowledgment (ACK)/negative ... -
Y DNA and mitochondrial lineages in European and Asian populations of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus)
(2010)Both the Cytb gene of mtDNA and Y chromosome markers were studied in a relatively large sample of brown hares (L. europaeus) from Europe and Anatolia (Turkey and Israel), together with other seven Lepus species, in order ... -
Years of training and hamstring-quadriceps ratio of soccer players
(2007)To investigate the effect of the years of training on the hamstring-quadriceps isokinetic strength and establish normative data for the cardiorespiratory fitness of first and second division Greek male professional soccer ... -
Yellow nail syndrome or diffuse lymphatic network disease
(2002)We report a man aged 68 years old with pneumothorax and chronic bilateral pleural effusion in association with a history of yellow nails. The diagnosis of yellow nail syndrome based on yellow nails, lymphedema, chronic ... -
Yield performance at three nitrogen rates of a set of honeycomb vs traditional pedigree selected bread wheat varieties
(2003)The honeycomb nil interplant competition selection procedure has been proposed as effective breeding methodology in developing high yielding and broadly adapted wheat varieties. The objective of this research were to (i) ... -
Yield prediction in apple orchards based on image processing
(2011)It has been suggested that apple ( Malus * domestica Borkh) flowering distribution maps can be used for site-specific management decisions. The objectives of this study were (i) to study the flower density variability in ... -
Yield prediction in apples using Fuzzy Cognitive Map learning approach
(2013)This work investigates the yield modeling and prediction process in apples (cv. Red Chief) using the dynamic influence graph of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). FCMs are ideal causal cognition tools for modeling and simulating ... -
Yield spreads and real economic activity in East European transition economies
(2009)Recent research in developed countries provides evidence for the significant role of the yield spread on real economic activity. Using k-months industrial production growth rate model, this article attempts to ascertain ... -
Yield, nutrient content and physico-chemical and organoleptic properties in green bean are affected by N:K ratios
(2003)There is insufficient information about whether cultivars of green bean can be separated on based sensory properties. This study was undertaken in order to determine if cultivars could be separated based on yield components ... -
Yolk-sac larval development of the substrate-brooding cichlid Archocentrus nigrofasciatus in relation to temperature
(2015)In order to conserve and culture the cichlid fish Archocentrus nigrofasciatus, more information about its reproductive biology and its larval behavior and morphogenesis is necessary. Currently, temperatures ranging from ... -
Yyield prediction in a commercial apple orchard by analyzing RGB and multi-spectral images of trees during flowering period
(2011)The objective of the research was to study the spatial variability in an apple orchard and to develop methods for predicting the variation of the final yield. RGB and multi-spectral images of part of the trees were taken ... -
Zoning protection models and eco-development areas of Karla, Trikala and the Sporades Islands in Thessaly, Greece
(2007)The E.U. Directive of 92/43 on habitat aims to contribute to the conservation/preservation of biodiversity through the maintenance of habitats and species of wild fauna and flora. Preservation is achieved via the 'Natura ... -
Zoonotic pathogens associated with Hyalomma aegyptium in endangered tortoises: evidence for host-switching behaviour in ticks?
(2012)Background: Hyalomma aegyptium is a hard-tick with a typical three-host life cycle. The main hosts are Palearctic tortoises of genus Testudo. However, other hosts can be used by immature ticks for feeding in natural ...
