Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Note towards Reshaping Java's FeaturesN. S. Kutti, Z. A. Al-Khanjari, H. A. Ramadhan, J. FiaidhiProgramming Languages continually go through the refinement process due to several findings such as lack of robustness, lack of flexibility, lack of simplicity and lack of standard. This may require pruning undesirable features, sometimes softening of hard nature of some features and adding new features to improve the scope of the languages. Recently Java has emerged as a refined language … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 30 Dec 2005 · 6,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Role of PKCδ in Apoptosis Induction of Mouse ThymocytesC. Lutz-Nicoladoni, T. Letschka, M. Leitges et al.The family of protein kinases C (PKCs) has been implicated in signal transmission leading to apoptosis induction and/or survival. These effects are cell type and tissue dependent. Numerous studies employing phorbol ester, a pleiotropic PKC activator, strongly implicated PKC in apoptosis induction of thymocytes. However, phorbol esters activate both, the conventional PKCs (PKCα, β, γ) as well as the novel … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Analysis of Longitudinal Ordinal Data Using Non-Identifiable Multivariate Probit ModelsXiao ZhangMultivariate probit models have been explored foranalyzing longitudinal ordinal data. However, the inherent identification issuein multivariate probit models requires the covariance matrix of the underlyinglatent multivariate normal variables to be a correlation matrix and thushinders the development of efficient Bayesian sampling methods. It is knownthat non-identifiable models may produce Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)samplers with better convergence and mixing than … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 14 Nov 2022 · 6,044 accessesView PDFCite
