description: This article is dedicated to the study of the new class of distributions and one of its particular members. Based on the ratio of CDF G(x) and 1+G(x) of the baseline distribution, we have developed the new trigonometric family of distributions by transforming the sine function, and we named it the new class sin-G (NCS-G) family of distributions. The general properties of the suggested family of distributions are provided. Using the inverted Weibull distribution as a baseline distribution, we have introduced a member of the suggested family having a reverse-j or increasing, or inverted bathtub-shaped hazard function. Some statistical properties of this NCS-IW distribution are explored. The associated parameters of the new distribution are estimated through the MLE method. To assess the estimation procedure, we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation and found that even for small samples, biases and mean square errors decreased as the size of the sample increased. Two real medical data sets are considered for the application of the NCS-IW distribution. Using some criteria for model selection and goodness of fit test statistics, we empirically proved that the suggested model performs better than six other existing models (most of which have more parameters).
The Truth About Natural Skincare

description: Sweating may be annoying, but it's also the way your skin removes toxins. If your job is mostly sedentary, be sure to schedule regular workout sessions. Working up a sweat on a regular basis helps your skin eliminate toxins, and your skin will glow with health. It's a winning equation all around.

Moisturize your skin at least daily. Dry skin can lead to advanced skin aging and cracking. When the top of your skin (the outer layer) becomes dry, you may suddenly look older. Moisturizers are most effective when applied onto wet skin. Keep in mind, the amount of moisturizer each person needs is different.

Make sure that your skin care routine involves the application of a foot lotion. Particularly in the winter months, your feet need a strong glycerine based lotion that will keep them from getting too dry. Also hydrossential reviews exfoliate every once in a while to take off your dead skin; that will help the foot lotion work a little better.

If you are struggling with the irritating redness and discomfort of psoriasis, look for over-the-counter skincare products that contain salicylic acid, also known as beta hydroxy acid. This is one of the more affordable psoriasis treatments that is recognized by the FDA as being both safe and effective. BHA helps psoriasis by inciting skin cells to shed regularly.

When it comes to scarring, even your diet can affect the outcome. Keep your skin healthy and less prone to scarring by including nutritious antioxidants, omega-3, and omega-6 fatty hydrossential reviews acids in your daily diet. These nutrients are found in fish, plant oils, beans, and most types of nuts. Doctors can also prescribe higher-strength concentrations.
The economics of coordinating health aid: investigating the sector wide approach
Creators: name: Sweeney, Rohan Patrick
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis presents an econometric analysis of the Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) for delivering health aid to lower-income countries. The SWAp was designed to address problems associated with traditional project-based aid delivery. Chief among these problems, project-based aid may lead to fragmented aid, better aligned with donor preferences than recipient priorities. The health SWAp aims to address problems associated with aid fragmentation by improving donor coordination. Further, by increasing recipient country ownership of health aid programmes, the health SWAp should facilitate reallocation of health aid to areas of highest recipient priority. This thesis provides important new insights for health and development policy makers; both in aid recipient countries and amongst donor organisations. The SWAp first appeared in health and education sectors of African and Asian countries in the early 1990s. Despite more than 20 years of experience with health SWAps, the evidence base regarding impact remains weak. Major limitations exist both in terms of the range of impacts investigated as well as the study methodologies utilised. Most notably, evaluations have been limited to the use of case study methodologies to identify SWAp impacts. This approach is unable to control for the number of important global and country specific changes that have occurred over the last 20 years, confounding estimated effects. The analyses presented in this thesis address this major limitation. A uniquely compiled panel dataset of countries receiving development assistance for health (DAH) over the period 1990-2010 is used. Fixed effects and dynamic panel models are employed using contemporaneous control groups to assess SWAp impacts; controlling for time varying determinants of DAH such as health need, wealth, global trends in DAH and governance in DAH receiving countries. This thesis applies rigorous and as yet un-utilised econometric methods to identify important SWAp impacts on DAH funding flows and health outcomes.

description: [Abridged] We use the final data of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) to investigate the effect of environment on the evolution of galaxies between $z=0.5$ and $z=0.9$. We characterise local environment in terms of the density contrast smoothed over a cylindrical kernel, the scale of which is defined by the distance to the $5^{th}$ nearest neighbour. We find that more massive galaxies tend to reside in higher-density environments over the full redshift range explored. Defining star-forming and passive galaxies through their (NUV$-r$) vs ($r-K$) colours, we then quantify the fraction of star-forming over passive galaxies, $f_{\rm ap}$, as a function of environment at fixed stellar mass. $f_{\rm ap}$ is higher in low-density regions for galaxies with masses ranging from $\log(\mathcal{M}/\mathcal{M}_\odot)=10.38$ (the lowest value explored) to at least $\log(\mathcal{M}/\mathcal{M}_\odot)\sim11.3$, although with decreasing significance going from lower to higher masses. This is the first time that environmental effects on high-mass galaxies are clearly detected at redshifts as high as $z\sim0.9$. We compared these results to VIPERS-like galaxy mock catalogues based on the galaxy formation model of De Lucia & Blaizot. The model correctly reproduces $f_{\rm ap}$ in low-density environments, but underpredicts it at high densities. The discrepancy is particularly strong for the lowest-mass bins. We find that this discrepancy is driven by an excess of low-mass passive satellite galaxies in the model. Looking at the accretion history of these model galaxies, i.e. the times when they become satellites, a better (yet not perfect) agreement with observations can be obtained in high density regions by assuming either that a not-negligible fraction of satellites is destroyed, or that their quenching time-scale is longer than $\sim 2$ Gyr.

description: Utilizing auxiliary information effectively in sample surveys can enhance the accuracy of estimations by capitalizing on the relationship between the main variable under study and the auxiliary variable. Estimators such as ratio, product, exponential, and regression estimators are frequently employed either during the estimation process, the design phase, or both. In everyday situations, it is common to incorporate information from one or two auxiliary variables to improve the precision of estimators. Auxiliary information has been in practice in sampling theory since the advent of modern sample surveys. Information on auxiliary variable having high correlation with the variable under study is quite useful in improving the sampling design. Cochran (1940) used the highly positively correlated study and auxiliary variable to propound the ratio estimator. Product estimator requires a high negative correlation between study and auxiliary variable. By reviewing the literature, it is concluded that applying the auxiliary information enhances the efficiencies of the estimators for estimating any parameter under consideration. So it is well established fact that the use of auxiliary variable technique improves the estimation process for target population. It is also noticed that ratio method of estimation is relatively simple and one of the commonly used methods of estimation. Due to limitations in terms of time and cost, sample surveys are often preferred over census surveys for collecting primary data. In these sample surveys, the ratio, product, and regression estimators are frequently employed to estimate the mean or other parameters of interest for the variable under study. To assess their efficiency, these estimators are compared based on their approximate mean squared errors. In this paper we proposed an exponential ratio type estimator for the estimation of finite population mean under systematic sampling. The mean square error of the proposed estimator is computed up to the first order of approximation and we find proposed estimator is efficient as compared to other existing estimators. Furthermore this theoretical result is supported by numerical examples as well.

description: Online (also 'real-time' or 'sequential') signal extraction from noisy and outlier- interfered data streams is a basic but challenging goal. Fitting a robust Repeated Median (Siegel, 1982) regression line in a moving time window has turned out to be a promising approach (Davies et al., 2004; Gather et al., 2006; Schettlinger et al., 2006). The level of the regression line at the rightmost window position, which equates to the current time point in an online application, is then used as signal extraction. However, the choice of the window width has large impact on the signal extraction, and it is impossible to predetermine an optimal fixed window width for data streams which exhibit signal changes like level shifts and sudden trend changes. We therefore propose a robust test procedure for the online detection of such signal changes. An algorithm including the test allows for online window width adaption, meaning that the window width is chosen w.r.t. the current data situation at each time point. Comparison studies show that our new procedure outperforms an existing Repeated Median filter with automatic window width selection (Schettlinger et al., 2010).

description: We derive a microscopic expression for a quantity $μ$ that plays the role of chemical potential of Active Brownian Particles (ABPs) in a steady state in the absence of vortices. We show that $μ$ consists of (i) an intrinsic chemical potential similar to passive systems, which depends on density and self-propulsion speed, but not on the external potential, (ii) the external potential, and (iii) a newly derived one-body swim potential due to the activity of the particles. Our simulations on active Brownian particles show good agreement with our Fokker-Planck calculations, and confirm that $μ(z)$ is spatially constant for several inhomogeneous active fluids in their steady states in a planar geometry. Finally, we show that phase coexistence of ABPs with a planar interface satisfies not only mechanical but also diffusive equilibrium. The coexistence can be well-described by equating the bulk chemical potential and bulk pressure obtained from bulk simulations for systems with low activity but requires explicit evaluation of the interfacial contributions at high activity.

description: Lilienstemus airelensis Cuny and Galton, 1993 Age. Rhaetian-Hettangian. Occurrence. Moon-Airel Formation, Normandy, France. Diagnosis. Cervical vertebrae with dorsoventrally narrow, anteroposteriorly elongated posterior pleurocoel; deep infradiapophyseal fossa in anterior cervical vertebrae; horizontal ridge at the basis of the neural spine in cervical vertebrae; ilium with a triangular lateral bulge above the supraacetabular crest. Remarks. Larsonneur and Lapparent (1966) described associated and partially articulated remains of a theropod dinosaur from the Moon-Airel Formation of Normandy and referred them to Halticosaurus sp., based on comparisons with Halticosaurus liliensterni (now Lilienstemus lilienstemi ) from the Norian of Germany. The material received little attention in the following decades, until Cuny and Galton (1993) redescribed it and showed that it represents a distinct taxon. They designated the specimen as the holotype of a new species of the genus Lilienstemus, Lilienstemus airelensis. Although the material is very incomplete, the rather large number of apomorphic characters in the cervical vertebrae alone clearly establishes it as a valid taxon.

A laugh a day is sure to keep the blues away: employees' perception of managerial humor and its impact on their emotions and psychological resources

description: The thesis addresses two specific objectives: First, given the scarcity of humor research in Australian work contexts, the thesis explores the nature of humor events in Australia, how Australian employees perceive such humor and what they expect from their immediate managers with regards to humor. Second, the thesis presents a study that tests hypothesized relationships between employees’ perception of managers’ humor and employees’ emotions, Psychological Capital (PsyCap), Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and Turnover Intentions (TI) to understand the consequences managers’ use of humor has for employees. The argument of this thesis is that when employees perceive their managers’ humor as positive (negative), they experience momentary positive (negative) emotions which increase (decrease) employees’ PsyCap and SWB and lowers (increases) TI over time. To address the first objective, a sample of 433 employees in organizations across Australia provided survey data pertaining to (1) frequency of humor behavior at work; (2) employees’ perception of the acceptability, engagement and enjoyment of humor at work; (3) participants in humor at work, their intentions for humor creation, channels of humor delivery and the functions achieved; and (4) employees’ expectations of their managers’ humor. To address the second objective, an Experience Sampling Method (ESM) was used to enable the assessment of hypothesized causal relationships. Ten short surveys with a sample of 2498 employees employed across Australia were administered daily for 10 consecutive work days, with pre and post measures, to gather data on (1) employees’ emotional changes in response to their immediate managers’ humor and how they perceived the humor as to its positive or negative impact; (2) changes in their PsyCap, SWB and TI; and (3) the hypothesized moderator variables of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX), employees’ Locus of Control (LOC), Affect Intensity (AI), job stress and employees’ perception of their managers’ humor style. The research provides evidence that humor is prevalent in Australian workplaces and that survey participants’ accept, engage in, and enjoy humor at work. Findings also support the hypotheses relating to participants’ perception of their managers’ humor and experienced emotions and the moderating effects of LMX on the manager humor-employee emotions relationship. Interestingly, frequent experiences of participants’ positive emotions were not associated with increases in their PsyCap and SWB but frequent experiences of participants’ negative emotions reduced their psychological resources. As predicted, participants’ high SWB resulted in low TI. Surprisingly however, participants’ high PsyCap did not result in their low TI.
Who gives a franc? an experimental analysis of how and why people give

description: Hundreds of billions of dollars are donated to charity by individuals each year. Despite this, relatively little is known about what motivates people to give or their decisions of whom, or how, to give. Researchers and philanthropists alike are challenged with trying to understand how donors make decisions. This thesis uses experimental methodology to further understand the economics of philanthropy. The chapters contained in this dissertation investigate the role of motivations, paternalism, ethnicity and uncertainty in charitable giving using variations on the real donation experiment in the laboratory. In Chapters 1 and 2, I investigate the role of ethnicity and paternalism in giving by varying the intended beneficiary of charity and by giving donors the option to restrict how the donation can be spent by that recipient. Chapter 2 extends the analysis by identifying the different motivations of donors. In Chapter 3, I observe how institutional uncertainty influences donor giving, and the role of the intermediary. In Chapter 4 I examine individual preferences for government welfare versus charity, and whether these preferences depend on the ethnicity of the organisation’s intended beneficiaries. The major finding across all four chapters is that donors are heterogeneous in their decision making: donors’ motivations for giving swing from entirely egotistical to entirely altruistic; some donors refuse to act paternalistically even when it is free while others choose to restrict their donation even at a personal cost; some donors decrease their donations in response to uncertainty while others, by contrast, increase their donations to compensate the beneficiaries for risk. These findings are important in furthering the understanding of charitable giving in the laboratory, as well as in their application to real-world giving. They suggest that the different motivations of donors as well as the specific context of giving are both important in determining donation outcomes. To be effective fundraisers, charities need to be aware of the heterogeneity of donors – a one-size fits all approach is unlikely to be successful.

description: In this research, we present an approach to model lifetime data by a weighted three-parameter probability distribution utilizing the exponential and gamma distributions. We have presented some of the essential characteristics such as the shapes of pdf, cdf, moments, incomplete moments, survival function, hazard function, mean residual life, stochastic ordering, and order statistics of the proposed distribution. Furthermore, we also presented the Bonferroni index and Lorenz curve of the proposed distribution. The maximum likelihood approach is used to estimate the parameters of the distribution. Finally, the proposed probability distribution is compared to goodness of fit with Lindley, Akash, exponential, two-parameter Lindley, cubic transmuted Rayleigh, and Exponential-Gamma distributions for the real-time data set.

description: We study the structure, age and metallicity gradients, and dynamical evolution using a cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-mass galaxy from the Feedback in Realistic Environments project. In the simulation, stars older than 6 Gyr were formed in a chaotic, bursty mode and have the largest vertical scale heights (1.5-2.5 kpc) by z=0, while stars younger than 6 Gyr were formed in a relatively calm, stable disk. The vertical scale height increases with stellar age at all radii, because (1) stars that formed earlier were thicker "at birth", and (2) stars were kinematically heated to an even thicker distribution after formation. Stars of the same age are thicker in the outer disk than in the inner disk (flaring). These lead to positive vertical age gradients and negative radial age gradients. The radial metallicity gradient is neg- ative at the mid-plane, flattens at larger disk height |Z|, and turns positive above |Z|~1.5kpc. The vertical metallicity gradient is negative at all radii, but is steeper at smaller radii. These trends broadly agree with observations in the Milky Way and can be naturally understood from the age gradients. The vertical stellar density profile can be well-described by two components, with scale heights 200-500 pc and 1-1.5 kpc, respectively. The thick component is a mix of stars older than 4 Gyr which formed through a combination of several mechanisms. Our results also demonstrate that it is possible to form a thin disk in cosmological simulations even with strong stellar feedback.

description: Lilienstemus liliensterni (Huene, 1934); metataxon Age. Norian. Occurrence. Knollenmergel, ThÜringen and WÜrttemberg, Germany;?Frick, Switzerland. Diagnosis. Differs from all other theropods, with the exception of Lilienstemus airelensis, in the presence of a broad rounded ridge on the cervical vertebrae that extends from the posterior end of the diapophyses to the posteroventral end of the vertebral centrum (less well-developed than in Lilienstemus airelensis). Differs from Lilienstemus airelensis in the presence of only one pair of pleurocoels in the cervical vertebrae, the less-developed infradiapophyseal fossa, the absence of a horizontal ridge at the base of the cervical neural spines, and the absence of a lateral bulge on the ilium. Remarks. Lilienstemus liliensterni (Text-fig. 4g) is the best represented Triassic theropod from Europe. The taxon was originally described as Halticosaurus liliensterni by Huene (1934) based on the associated, but disarticulated remains of two individuals from the Knollenmergel of ThÜringen (MB R. 2175). Later, Welles (1984) showed that Halticosaurus liliensterni cannot be referred to the genus Halticosaurus and assigned the species to the new genus Lilienstemus. Welles (1984, p. 166) also designated the larger individual as the lectotype. It must be noted, however, that the material may represent more than two individuals, and it seems almost impossible to separate the remains belonging to the larger and smaller individual (pers. obs. and Heinrich, pers. comm. 1996); therefore it seems, at present, best to retain the entire material as the syntypes for the species.

description: The electrical conductivity of metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) quickly saturates with respect to bias voltage due to scattering from a large population of optical phonons. Decay of these dominant scatterers in pristine CNTs is too slow to offset an increased generation rate at high voltage bias. We demonstrate from first principles that encapsulation of 1D atomic chains within a single-walled CNT can enhance decay of "hot" phonons by providing additional channels for thermalisation. Pacification of the phonon population growth reduces electrical resistivity of metallic CNTs by 51% for an example system with encapsulated beryllium.

description: The Bondi-Sachs formalism of General Relativity is a metric-based treatment of the Einstein equations in which the coordinates are adapted to the null geodesics of the spacetime. It provided the first convincing evidence that gravitational radiation is a nonlinear effect of general relativity and that the emission of gravitational waves from an isolated system is accompanied by a mass loss from the system. The asymptotic behaviour of the Bondi-Sachs metric revealed the existence of the symmetry group at null infinity, the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group, which turned out to be larger than the Poincare group.

description: In this communication, we proposed two parametric generalized divergence measures. The well-known divergence measures available in the literature are a particular case of our new proposed divergence measure. We also looked into its monotonic behaviour and characterization results. We applied the proposed measure to some life-time distributions and observed that the deviation has been reduced. We have shown the mortality rate of two different countries based on COVID-19 data sets.

description: We initiate the study of matrix convexity for operator spaces. We define the notion of compact rectangular matrix convex set, and prove the natural analogs of the Krein-Milman and the bipolar theorems in this context. We deduce a canonical correspondence between compact rectangular matrix convex sets and operator spaces. We also introduce the notion of boundary representation for an operator space, and prove the natural analog of Arveson's conjecture: every operator space is completely normed by its boundary representations. This yields a canonical construction of the triple envelope of an operator space.

description: Inflated models are used whenever there are too many frequencies at a given count. In this regard, Poisson moment exponential distribution and a distribution to a point mass at zero are used to create a zeroinflated model namely Zero-Inflated Poisson Moment Exponential Distribution. Its distributional and reliability characteristics are investigated in some detail. A simulation exercise is undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the maximum likelihood estimators. The adaptability of the suggested distribution is demonstrated using three real datasets from various domains (e.g., vaccine adverse events, medical science data, epileptic seizure counts). The suggested distribution and the Poisson moment exponential distribution are distinguished by using the two different test procedures.

Exponentiated Ailamujia distribution

description: In this paper, a novel three parameter continuous distribution is introduced. This novel distribution is an extented version of the Exponenentiated Ailamujia distribution. This extended version called as Exponentiated Generalized Ailamujia (EGA) distribution. The Exponentiated Generalized class is used to derive the proposed distribution by considering Ailamujia distribution as a baseline distribution. A special case of the EGA distribution called Generalized Ailamujia (GA) distribution is also derived. Properties of the proposed distribution such as moments, mean, variance, harmonic mean, moment generating function, survival function, hazard function, reverse hazard rate, Mills ratio and order statistics are derived. In addition, maximum likelihood approach is used to estimate the proposed distribution parameters. Finally, the proposed distribution is applied to two real datasets and compare with the Exponentiated Ailamujia and the Ailamujia Inverted Weibull distributions. Results reveal that the proposed distribution provides better estimate as compared to the said distributions for the given two real datasets.
Integral monodromy groups of Kloosterman sheaves

description: We show that integral monodromy groups of Kloosterman $\ell$-adic sheaves of rank $n\ge 2$ on $\mathbb{G}_m/\mathbb{F}_q$ are as large as possible when the characteristic $\ell$ is large enough, depending only on the rank. This variant of Katz's results over $\mathbb{C}$ was known by works of Gabber, Larsen, Nori and Hall under restrictions such as $\ell$ large enough depending on $\operatorname{char}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ with an ineffective constant, which is unsuitable for applications. We use the theory of finite groups of Lie type to extend Katz's ideas, in particular the classification of maximal subgroups of Aschbacher and Kleidman-Liebeck. These results will apply to study reductions of hyper-Kloosterman sums in forthcoming work.

description: When deciding if water is suitable for a particular usage, its quality”which includes its chemical, physical, and biological characteristics”is referred to. The quality of the water is influenced by many natural and human influences. Despite being in equilibrium, the natural ecosystem and water quality would certainly be disturbed by any large changes in the water quality. In order to assess the levels of water pollution in the Asejire and Eleyele reservoirs, this study conducted a Physico-chemical analysis of the two reservoirs. It also used multivariate techniques to identify the causes of water pollution in the two reservoirs under investigation, used a generalized linear model to analyze the variability in turbidity levels, and suggested regulatory solutions to address water pollution in the two reservoirs under study. In Ibadan, which has a population of about four million, the two main sources of pipe-borne water are the Eleyele and Asejire reservoirs. Between January 2003 and August 2019, water samples were taken from both locations and analyzed for 13 Physico-chemical parameters using the Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis for feature extraction and finally a Generalized Linear model for prediction. Basic Tables and descriptive plots, Principal Component Analysis, Factor Analysis, and Generalized Linear Models were employed. Results: In the Asejire and Eleyele reservoirs, respectively, the PCA yields 5 significant main components explaining 76.56% and 60.97% of the variance, while the FA yields 5 significant major components explaining 94.90% and 79.97%. A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to study the variability in turbidity level, and the results indicate that two parameters”Iron and Silicon”in the Asejire reservoir are crucial for understanding turbidity variation and four”Colour, Alkaline, Silica, and Solids”contribute significantly to turbidity in the water level in the Eleyele Reservoir. With the exception of dissolved oxygen from either reservoir (Eleyele or Asejire) and iron from Eleyele Reservoir, many metrics in Asejire are within SON and WHO acceptable limits. This suggests that the water in the Eleyele reservoir is more contaminated than the Asejire reservoir.
Magneto-optical switching in microcavities based on a TGG defect sandwiched between periodic and disordered one-dimensional photonic structures

description: The employment of magneto-optical materials to fabricate photonic crystals gives the unique opportunity to achieve optical tuning by applying a magnetic field. In this study we have simulated the transmission spectrum of a microcavity in which the Bragg reflectors are made with silica (SiO2) and yttria (Y2O3) and the defect layer is made with TGG (Tb3Ga5O12). We show that the application of an external magnetic field results in a tuning of the defect mode of the microcavity. In the simulations we have considered the wavelength dependence of the refractive indexes and the Verdet constants of the materials. A tuning of the defect mode of about 22 nm with a magnetic field of 5 T, at low temperature (8 K), is demonstrated. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility to tune a microcavity with disordered photonic structures as reflectors. In the presence of the magnetic field such microcavity shows a shift of resonances in a broad range of wavelengths. This study presents a method of contactless optical tuning.
