description: In this article, some recurrence relations of inverse and ratio moments for generalized order statistics from doubly truncated and non-truncated generalized exponential distribution are derived. From our results, we deduce the recurrence relations for single and product moments of generalized order statistics from general class distribution obtained by Haseeb and Hassan (2004), also we deduce the recurrence relations for single and product moments of order statistics from generalized exponential distribution obtained by Saran and Pushkarna (2000).

description: It is important to evaluate the total spin angular momentum of alkali-metal atoms if the atoms serve as a reservoir of angular momenta. We use an absorption-monitoring technique to measure , i.e., the expectation values of the quantization (z) axis components of the total angular momentum of cesium (Cs) atoms in the electronic ground state in both uncoated and anti-relaxation-coated vacuum cells at room temperature. Cs atoms are polarized via optical pumping and probed using their D2 transitions. The probe laser frequency is varied across the Doppler-broadened D2 transition; the values are derived using the integrated absorption coefficients. The largest is 2.5 for the coated cell. We then use a simple model of spin flow through vapor cells to estimate the atomic spin relaxation probabilities after a single surface collision.

description: This article provides a short introduction to the interdisciplinary field of social network analysis (SNA) and its useful applications in the humanities, including music. Network approaches can be useful in any discipline, but they are most commonly associated with applied mathematics, computer science, and sociological fields like economics and information studies. Networks are becoming more prevalent as a theoretical and methodological framework for addressing humanistic research questions. For subject librarians interested in digital humanities, an awareness and basic understanding of networks may prove helpful when advising students and faculty wishing to apply interdisciplinary techniques in their own research. An annotated bibliography of suggested resources, including guides on formatting network data, using software, and readings on the theory and practice of networks, follows this article.

description: The density of the likelihood ratio criterion Up,m,n is expressed in terms of a marginal density of a generalized Dirichlet model having a specific set of parameters. The exact distribution of the likelihood ratio criterion so obtained has a very simple and general format for every p . It provides an easy and direct method of computation of the exact p -value of Up,m,n . Various types of properties and relations involving hypergeometric series are also established.

Year: 1996

description: Linear-C is a data-parallel extension to C. In this report we show, by implementing Dijkstra's algorithm in Linear-C to solve the shortest-paths problem, that (1) data-parallelism in Dijkstra's algorithm can be easily expressed in Linear-C, (2) even a small amount of data parallelism can speed up the whole algorithm substantially, and (3) the algorithm, the data representation, and the efficiency are closely inter-related. Three implementations are provided, each with a different level of data parallelism exploited. The programs are explained, their time complexities are analyzed, and their strength and weakness in efficiency are compared.
Fixed-time consensus based cooperative control for multi-agent systems
Creators: name: Ning, Boda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Multi-agent systems have offered advantages such as robustness and energy saving due to the capability to cooperatively fulfil complex tasks. One fundamental research topic of cooperative control is consensus, which designs distributed controllers to achieve agreement on states such as velocity. Most current work can only achieve consensus over an infinite time horizon or in a finite time that depends on initial states, which fails to meet specific convergence requirement in an unknown environment. To address this issue, we investigate the consensus in a fixed-time framework, which provides an estimated bound of settling time without dependence on initial states.

description: The survey carried out in late 2004 in the Province of Bologna made possible an analysis of the main characteristics of holidays taken in the two-year period 2003-2004. In particular, we evaluated the effects of several sociodemographic traits on the propensity of holidaymaking, taking longer holidays, and starting holidays in peak season. The analyses were developed using multivariate models including Heckman models based on estimation of simultaneous equations in order to take into account the selection bias embedded in the phenomenon under study. Results highlight that tourist behaviours are strongly affected by personal and unobserved attitudes. However, area of residence and occupational status (to be a worker or non-worker, and working category) emerge as key factors that influence holidaymaking propensity and holiday length.

description: Estimating population abundance is of primary interest in wildlife population studies. Point transect sampling is a well established methodology for this purpose. The usual approach for estimating the density or the size of the population of interest is to assume a particular model for the detection function (the conditional probability of detecting an animal given that it is at a certain distance from the observer). Two popular models for this function are the half-normal model and the negative exponential model. However, it appears that the estimates are extremely sensitive to the shape of the detection function, particularly to the so-called shoulder condition, which ensures that an animal is nearly certain to be detected if it is at a small distance from the observer. The half-normal model satisfies this condition whereas the negative exponential does not. Testing whether such a hypothesis is consistent with the data at hand should be a primary concern. Given that the problem of testing the shoulder condition of a detection function is invariant under the group of scale transformations, in this paper we propose the uniformly most powerful.

description: In the context diagnostic tests may be assessed through indicators of diagnosis reliability called specificity and sensitivity. In practice, these indicators can be estimated only if a “gold standard” test is available, meaning that its diagnosis is the most reliable one available as to the prevalence of an illness in a population.Starting from a real case study related to cattle Q fever disease in small ruminants, the aim of this work is to determine which of the three examined diagnostic tests is the best, taking into account the fact that there is neither any a priori information on the sensitivity and specificity of the three tests, nor a reference “gold standard” diagnostic test. Moreover, the incidence of the disease in the reference population is unknown.Our approach, which is mainly descriptive in nature, derived estimates of sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic tests from incidence of the disease. The estimates are obtained by minimizing the least squares and a performed simulation study shows that on average the method provides unbiased estimates of unknown parameters. The application of the method to a real case study make it possible to establish a hierarchy among the three diagnostic tests in question.

description: This article deals with research aimed at clarifying the place of levels of knowledge in the chemistry program at the beginning of secondary school in Cameroon. The curriculum is analyzed using the theoretical framework of levels of knowledge (macroscopic, microscopic, symbolic and empirical) established by Dumon et Mzoughi-Khadhraoui in 2014. The results obtained show that, although levels of knowledge are taken into account in the design of school curricula, they remain difficult to exploit because of the lack of specification, making it difficult for teachers to implement. Some suggestions for curriculum designers are proposed.

description: In recent years, there has been an upsurge in environmentally friendly innovations due to the urgent need to address global warming and build a sustainable future. Natural fiber (NF) research is one area of interest that has gained significant attention in the composites industry, mainly due to its low carbon footprint compared to its synthetic counterpart. However, raw NFs currently do not have the same structural properties as their synthetic counterparts, such as carbon fiber (CF) and glass fiber (GF) composites. As a result, high-performance industries have been reluctant to adopt them due to their reduced stiffness in response to mechanical loading, which often limits their use in certain applications. To overcome this obstacle, innovative methods are being developed to improve the performance of these composites while maintaining a lower carbon footprint. This work falls into this category by creating a hybrid composite replacing conventional flow accelerators with NFs, taking advantage of their high permeability. Different natural fiber architectures are being tested for permeability, absorption, structure and infusion simulation. The generated data will be stored as a material library serving as a digital model for future applications. This work aims to combine NFs and CFs to achieve a sustainable design by balancing mechanical properties, manufacturing costs, and environmental footprint, resulting in a multi-objective problem that ultimately advances the general understanding of NFs and their potential in high-performance composites.

Regularities in software systems
Creators: name: Minsky, Naftaly H.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1993

description: Regularities, or the conformity to unifying principles, are essential to the comprehensibility, manageability and reliability of large software systems. Yet, as is argued in this paper, the inherent globality of regularities makes them very hard to establish in traditional methods, unless they are built into the very fabric of a programming language. This paper explores an approach to regularities which greatly simplifies their implementation, making them more easily employable for taming of the complexities of large systems. This approach, which is based on the concept of law-governed architecture (LGA), provides system designers and builders with the means for establishing regularities simply by declaring them formally and explicitly as the law of the system. Once such a law-governed regularity is declared, it is enforced by the environment in which the system is developed. Although not all desirable regularities can be established this way, it is argued that the range of feasible "law-governed regularities", which can be easily defined and efficiently enforced, is sufficiently broad for this to become a useful software engineering technique.
Beyond Kin Care? Institutional Facilities in the Imaginations of Older Presbyterians in Southern Ghana

description: In rural towns of Ghana’s Eastern Region, older adults express curiosity about Western facilities for seniors such as care homes—where older adults reside permanently—and senior day programs—where they come for the day for activities and meals. This paper argues that aging is a site of cultural innovation; in this case, ideas and practices imported from abroad like care homes are reworked in local imaginaries to speak to local concerns, including a critique of the state. Supporting James Ferguson’s recent argument that new social welfare practices and rights are gaining traction in Africa, it illustrates how older adults in Ghana are articulating a vision of a caring nation, as they confront the aging process and cope with changing aging trajectories and intergenerational reciprocities.

description: The interleukin (IL)-6 family of cytokines and exaggerated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 signaling is implicated in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) pathogenesis, but the mechanisms regulating STAT3 expression and function are unknown. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)1 and SOCS3 block STAT3, and low SOCS1 levels have been reported in IPF fibroblasts and shown to facilitate collagen production. Fibroblasts and lung tissue from IPF patients and controls were used to examine the mechanisms underlying SOCS1 down-regulation in IPF. A significant reduction in basal SOCS1 mRNA in IPF fibroblasts was confirmed. However, there was no difference in the kinetics of activation, and methylation of SOCS1 in control and IPF lung fibroblasts was low and unaffected by 5′-aza-2′-deoxycytidine’ treatment. SOCS1 is a target of microRNA-155 and although microRNA-155 levels were increased in IPF tissue, they were reduced in IPF fibroblasts. Therefore, SOCS1 is not regulated by SOCS1 gene methylation or microRNA155 in these cells. In conclusion, we confirmed that IPF fibroblasts had lower levels of SOCS1 mRNA compared with control fibroblasts, but we were unable to determine the mechanism. Furthermore, although SOCS1 may be important in the fibrotic process, we were unable to find a significant role for SOCS1 in regulating fibroblast function.
Interprocedural modification side effect analysis with pointer aliasing

description: We present a new interprocedural modification side effects algorithm for C programs, that can discern side effects through general-purpose pointer usage. Ours is the first complete design and implementation of such an algorithm. Preliminary performance findings support the practicality of the technique, which is based on our previous approximation algorithm for pointer aliases. Each indirect store through a pointer variable is found, on average, to correspond to a store into 1.1 locations. This indicates that our program-point-specific pointer aliasing information is quite precise when used to determine the effects of these stores.

A comprehensive view of galaxy growth: using galaxy sizes to examine growth rates and environmental effects
Creators: name: Allen, Rebecca

description: The research in this thesis utilises cutting-edge techniques to study the evolution of galaxies. For the first time, we present a complete and comprehensive analysis of the size growth rate of galaxies going back to the when the Universe was very young. In addition, we study the effects of a galaxy’s local environment on its growth mechanisms. This research is valuable to the community as it offers a complete analysis regarding the effects of environment on both star-forming and non star-forming galaxies at important epochs. Before this analysis, there were only a handful of studies that considered the sizes of star-forming galaxies as a function of environment. Our results are helpful for understanding the relationship between both star-forming and non star-forming galaxies, which has not been considered within the same study at the epochs we consider. The results of this thesis provide a frame work for future studies to continue to understand more about this important aspect of galaxy evolution.

AbstractBelantamab mafodotin (BLENREP™; belantamab mafodotin-blmf) is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that has been developed for the treatment of multiple myeloma by GlaxoSmithKline. The ADC comprises an antibody targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) conjugated to the microtubule inhibitor monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF). The antibody moiety binds to BCMA on the tumour cell surface, delivering the cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor MMAF to the therapeutic target. Based on preliminary results from the multinational DREAMM-2 trial, belantamab mafodotin was approved in early August 2020 in the USA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in adult patients who have received at least four prior therapies, including an anti CD38 monoclonal antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and an immunomodulatory agent. The ADC was also approved in the EU for this indication in late August 2020. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of belantamab mafodotin leading to this first approval.© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020

description: Migration scholars should pay attention to migration as seen through children’s eyes for at least two reasons. For one, children’s perspectives help us understand whether children are being socialized into their community’s culture of migration, a culture which shapes migration patterns and flows. Secondly, given that some children migrate and some children are left behind by migrant parents or relatives, children’s imaginings of whether they as children ought to migrate affects where the responsibility and costs for their care will be located, between family members, countries, and states. This paper examines how children aged 10-18 in a town in southern Ghana imagine life abroad, conceptualize the timing of migration in their lifecourse, and articulate their goals in migrating as a case study for exploring these larger issues.

description: The influence of emotional knowledge upon the ways people experience and understand climate change is increasingly recognized within geographic scholarship; however, limited research considers the potential of emotion to prompt adaptation. Drawing upon literature of emotional geography, social dimensions of climate change, and public participation, this study illustrates the role of emotion in a public participation exercise in Londonderry, Vermont – a small town struggling to recover from Tropical Storm Irene. As a member of an interdisciplinary design team that facilitated a workshop on flood resilience and adaptive design in Londonderry, I witnessed an innovative exercise that employed storytelling, emotion, and body movement. This activity, which I term ‘emotive-physical storytelling’, created a foundation of trust and interpersonal connection that facilitators and residents built upon to plan for flood resiliency. Contrary to recent accounts of the ways that negative emotional responses can cause inaction in the face of climate change, this paper argues that creative public participation methods can generate positive emotions such as hope, responsibility, care, and solidarity. Such emotions have the potential to inspire adaptive action and produce transformative change.

description: In this paper we have studied the gain of efficiency and the relative bias of linear weighted estimators over conventional estimators under probability proportional to size with replacement (ppswr) sampling for a wide variety of populations. The five number summary statistics for the relative bias and the relative efficiency over conventional estimators is given for different magnitude of correlation coefficients. The computational study shows that there is a considerable gain in the efficiency of linear weighted estimators over conventional estimators. To develop the confidence of survey practitioners on linear weighted estimator, the computational study is extended to see the robustness of the linear weighted estimator by deviating the optimum value of the weight up to 50% on either side.

description: Let X1,X2,…,XN be independent, identically distributed, non-negative, integervalued random variables and let N be a non-negative, integer-valued random variable independent of X1,X2,…,XN . In this paper, we consider two nonparametric estimation problems for the random sum variable. The first is the estimation of the means of Xi and N based on the second-moment assumptions on distributions of Xi and N . The second is the nonparametric estimation of the distribution of Xi given a parametric model for the distribution of N . Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are discussed.

description: Im Vergleich zu gelösten Stoffen unterliegen partikuläre Substanzen wie Mikroplastik (MP) in aquatischen Systemen anderen Dynamiken. Die wirksamen Transportmechanismen wie Deposition und Resuspendierung sowie Flotation und Sedimentation sind dabei nicht nur von Charakteristiken des betrachteten Gewässers, sondern in höherem Maß auch von Eigenschaften der Partikel selbst abhängig. Da gängige Polymere sowohl geringere (zum Beispiel PE, PP) als auch höhere Dichten (zum Beispiel PS, PET, PVC) als Wasser aufweisen, flotieren einige MP-Partikel, wohingegen andere sedimentieren. Partikeldichte, -größe und -form können potenziell wiederum durch Agglomeration, Fragmentierung sowie biologischen Bewuchs verändert werden. Quelle: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/

description: The paper presents some preliminary results of a project devoted to the analysis of adult and elderly mortality evolution in a Northern Italian region, Emilia Romagna, during the health transition. Starting from the construction of 14 period life tables (1871-2007) according to a standardised procedure, the paper develops three main topics: a descriptive analysis of the long-term evolution of elderly survival from the beginning of demographic transition to the present day; an in-depth study of those ages that have made the greatest contribution to the increase in survival during the various different transitional stages; an investigation of the evolution of longevity.

Rereading Darwin. Notes for a critical history of indeterminism

description: On carefully re-examining the theory of natural selection, one can see in it the first nondeterministic hypothesis in the history of modern science. As such it also exemplifies the use of statistics as a modus intellegendi, as an empirical language for all phenomena which cannot be interpreted in terms of strict teleology. According to this interpretation, the work of Darwin turns the course of science towards a new way of knowing, of interpreting nature, the way that with Mendel’s Laws has given birth to a deep renewal of research in biology, and has also gradually come to characterize all modern physics starting from the statistical thermodynamics of Boltzmann.

description: Cancer patients vary in their comfort with the label “survivor”. Here, we explore how comfortable males with breast cancer (BC) are about accepting the label cancer “survivor”. Separate univariate logistic regressions were performed to assess whether time since diagnosis, age, treatment status, and cancer stage were associated with comfort with the “survivor” label. Of the 70 males treated for BC who participated in the study, 58% moderately-to-strongly liked the term “survivor”, 26% were neutral, and 16% moderately-to-strongly disliked the term. Of the factors we explored, only a longer time since diagnosis was significantly associated with the men endorsing a survivor identity (OR = 1.02, p = 0.05). We discuss how our findings compare with literature reports on the comfort with the label “survivor” for women with BC and men with prostate cancer. Unlike males with prostate cancer, males with BC identify as “survivors” in line with women with BC. This suggests that survivor identity is more influenced by disease type and treatments received than with sex/gender identities.

description: Context: Nowadays, companies are challenged by increasing market dynamics, rapid changes and disruptive participants entering the market. To survive in such an environment, companies must be able to quickly discover product ideas that meet the needs of both customers and the company and deliver these products to customers. Dual-track agile is a new type of agile development that combines product discovery and delivery activities in parallel, iterative, and cyclical ways. At present, many companies have difficulties in finding and establishing suitable approaches for implementing dual-track agile in their business context. Objective: In order to gain a better understanding of how product discovery and product delivery can interact with each other and how this interaction can be implemented in practice, this paper aims to identify suitable approaches to dual-track agile. Method: We conducted a grey literature review (GLR) according to the guidelines to Garousi et al. Results: Several approaches that support the integration of product discovery with product delivery were identified. This paper presents a selection of these approaches, i.e., the Discovery-Delivery Cycle model, Now-Next-Later Product Roadmaps, Lean Sprints, Product Kata, and Dual-Track Scrum. The approaches differ in their granularity but are similar in their underlying rationales. All approaches aim to ensure that only validated ideas turn into products and thus promise to lead to products that are better received by their users.

R. A. Fisher. The relevance of the genetical theory of natural selection

description: Starting from the main statement that “. . . natural selection is not evolution. . . ”, R.A. Fisher built the foundation of the genetic theory of population in his famous work Genetical Theory of Natural Selection (1930). He rewrote the scientific paradigm proposed by Darwin in statistical terms using the calculus of probability and, most importantly, statistics. The key to his formal transposition is in the analysis of variance inwhich Fisher interpreted as phenomenical variability by means of random variability: this completely original result would become a fundamental chapter of statisticalmethod. It is not by chance that at the same time he published his statistical method for research workers in which the analysis of variance dominated his primary elements of the design of experiments.

description: In this article we propose a descriptive study of an ordinary teaching of sound waves for students of the first year of higher education. Our methodology consists of dividing the teacher-student action within the framework of the theory of joint action in didactics (TACD). The results showed that the sharing of responsibility for the advancement of knowledge is generally on the side of the teacher.

Points-to analysis for Java based on annotated constraints

description: The goal of points-to analysis for Java is to determine the set of objects pointed to by a reference variable or a reference object field. In this paper we present a points-to analysis for Java based on Andersen’s points-to analysis for C [5]. Andersen’s analysis can be implemented efficiently by using systems of set-inclusion constraints and by employing several techniques for constraint representation and resolution. We extend these techniques to efficiently represent and solve systems of annotated inclusion constraints. The annotations play two roles in our analysis. Method annotations are used to model precisely and efficiently the semantics of virtual calls. Field annotations allow us to distinguish between different fields of an object. In addition, our analysis keeps track of all reachable methods and avoids analyzing irrelevant library code. We evaluate the performance of the analysis on a large set of realistic Java programs. Our experiments show that the analysis runs in practical time and space, and has significant impact on call graph construction, virtual call resolution, synchronization removal, stack-based object allocation, and object read-write information. The results show that our analysis is a realistic candidate for a relatively precise, practical, general-purpose points-to analysis for Java.
