On achieving near-optimal “Anti-Bayesian” Order Statistics-Based classification fora asymmetric exponential distributions

2013

Published version of a Chapter in the book: Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40261-6_44 This paper considers the use of Order Statistics (OS) in the theory of Pattern Recognition (PR). The pioneering work on using OS for classification was presented in [1] for the Uniform distribution, where it was shown that optimal PR can be achieved in a counter-intuitive manner, diametrically opposed to the Bayesian paradigm, i.e., by comparing the testing sample to a few samples distant from the mean - which is distinct from the optimal Bayesian paradigm. In [2], we showed that the results could be extended for a few sym…

“Anti-Bayesian” parametric pattern classification using order statistics criteria for some members of the exponential family

2013

This paper submits a comprehensive report of the use of order statistics (OS) for parametric pattern recognition (PR) for various distributions within the exponential family. Although the field of parametric PR has been thoroughly studied for over five decades, the use of the OS of the distributions to achieve this has not been reported. The pioneering work on using OS for classification was presented earlier for the uniform distribution and for some members of the exponential family, where it was shown that optimal PR can be achieved in a counter-intuitive manner, diametrically opposed to the Bayesian paradigm, i.e., by comparing the testing sample to a few samples distant from the mean.

Banach spaces where convex combinations of relatively weakly open subsets of the unit ball are relatively weakly open

2018

We introduce and study Banach spaces which have property CWO, i.e., every finite convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets of their unit ball is open in the relative weak topology of the unit ball. Stability results of such spaces are established, and we introduce and discuss a geometric condition---property (co)---on a Banach space. Property (co) essentially says that the operation of taking convex combinations of elements of the unit ball is, in a sense, an open map. We show that if a finite dimensional Banach space $X$ has property (co), then for any scattered locally compact Hausdorff space $K$, the space $C_0(K,X)$ of continuous $X$-valued functions vanishing at infinity has…

Adaptation to Low Salinity Promotes Genomic Divergence in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua L.)

2015

Published version of an article from the journal:Genome Biology and Evolution. Available from the publisher: http.//dx.doi.org/1093/gbe/evv093 How genomic selection enables species to adapt to divergent environments is a fundamental question in ecology and evolution. We investigated the genomic signatures of local adaptation in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) along a natural salinity gradient, ranging from 35% in the North Sea to 7% within the Baltic Sea. By utilizing a 12 K SNPchip, we simultaneously assessed neutral and adaptive genetic divergence across the Atlantic cod genome. Combining outlier analyses with a landscape genomic approach, we identified a set of directionally selected loci…

Isolation and characterization of twenty microsatellite loci for the ballan wrasse, Labrus bergylta

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: Conservation Genetics Resources. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12686-013-0114-3 Open Access We developed 20 nuclear microsatellite DNA markers from tri- and tetra-nucleotide enriched libraries in the ballan wrasse. In our dataset (N = 241), the detected number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 12, and the observed and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.251 to 0.778 and from 0.286 to 0.804, respectively. Cross amplification with the goldsinny wrasse resulted in two usable loci whereas the corkwing wrasse amplified in one locus. The ballan wrasse is an important resource for aquaculture as it delouses fa…

Thermally Induced Isomerization of Trilinolein and Trilinoelaidin at 250 A degrees C: Analysis of Products by Gas Chromatography and Infrared Spectro…

2009

Accepted version of an article published in the journal: Lipids The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11745-009-3363-x The products formed by thermally induced isomerization of trilinolein and trilinoelaidin at 250 A degrees C were studied by infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography. The triglycerides of the 9c12c and 9t12t fatty acids, linoleic and linoelaidic acid respectively, were subjected to thermal treatment under nitrogen in glass. The products were removed at regular intervals and analysed by infrared spectroscopy using a single reflectance attenuated total internal reflectance crystal accessory. Trans-esterification of the pr…

Thermal Induction of 9t12t Linoleic Acid: a New Pathway for the Formation of Conjugated Linoleic Acids

2009

Accepted version of an article published in the journal: International Journal of Engineering and Technology Published version available at: http://www.ijetch.org/papers/066.pdf Thermal induction of 9t12t fatty acid leading to the formation of Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) has been demonstrated by subjecting glyceride, and methyl ester of the acid to heat treatment. Fifteen micro liter portions of the glyceride sample containing 9t12t fatty acid (trilinoelaidin) were placed in micro glass ampoules and sealed under nitrogen and then subjected to thermal treatment at 250oC. The glass ampoules were taken out at regular time intervals, and the contents were subjected to composition analysis b…

Near infrared spectroscopic characterisation of surface hydroxyl groups on hydrothermally treated silica gel

2011

Published version of an article in the journal International Journal of Chemical and Environmental Engeineering, 2 (1), 27-32. Also available at: http://www.warponline.org/4.%20Near%20infrared%20spectroscopic%20characterisation%20of%20surface%20hydroxyl%20groups%20on%20hydrothermally%20treated%20silica%20gel.pdf OA Surface hydroxyl groups on hydrothermally treated silica gel have been under discussion several decades back with contradictory conclusions. Some authors meant that the hydrothermally treated sila gel increases the concentration of hydrogen bonded silanol groups on the surface and some concluded that the hyrothermal treatment increases the concentration of internal hydrogen bonde…

Near infrared spectroscopic study on the adsorption of methanol on silica gel

2013

Author's version of an article in the journal: Advanced Materials Research. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.650.150 The silanol groups on Silica gel surface are sites for adsorption of polar molecules. Alcohols and other polar molecules are easily adsorbed by forming hydrogen bondings with OH groups on silica gel surface. A study on the adsorption of methanol on silica gel was carried out by using NIR spectroscopy in combination with ssecond derivative techniques. Four of the well characterised silica gel samples were used in this study. Each of the silica gel (0.25g) samples with different surface areas and silanol number was pressed i…
