description: Consumer purchase decision has always been considered as an enigma for both researchers and marketers for many decades. Empirical findings have emerged with various solutions but product failure remains a major concern for researchers and practioners. The current study intended to determine the actual factors that consumers take into consideration during their buying decision. Malaysian consumers’ purchase of the automobile brand Proton was the case of reference. In pursuit of an approach more explanatory, the researcher extended the traditional theory of planned behaviour (TPB) by incorporating additional latent variables (i.e., ethnocentrism, brand attachment, brand commitment, and pricing) and emotional elements to explain Malaysian consumers’ buying decision for Proton. In order to achieve the research objectives, qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. In the first phase, Malaysian citizens and Proton owners were interviewed using Zaltman Metahpor Elicititation Technique (ZMET) to extract actual consumers’ emotional expressions on Proton. Based on the themes emerged from the ZMET analysis, a ‘consensus map’ was formed that led to identify 19 emotional items to measure some of the constructs in the extended TPB model. In the second phase of the study, primary data from a sample of 399 Malaysian Proton users were used in SEM to test the predictive power of the alternative models and hypothesized relationships in the extended model. The extended version of the TPB model explained 58% (R2=58) - an increase of 11% compared to 47% explained by the original TPB (R2=.47). Incorporation of the emotional elements in the model increased the predictive power of the overall extended model by 2% (R2=.60). In short, the research was able to establish a proposed theoretical model that explained 60% of the variance of purchase intention. Finally, the findings suggest that the original TPB model lacks adequacy in certain aspects and an extension can improve the understanding of consumers’ actual behaviour. The study further asserts that certain emotional characteristics also contribute to the enhancement of the TPB model and increase the explanatory power of the overall model. Thus, the derived model significantly contributes to the growing body of literature. The effort to employ the integrated approaches (qualitative and quantitative) further entails theoretical, methodological and practical implications with respect to Malaysian consumers’ buying behaviour toward the national brand.

description: Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the most addressed preventable diseases of public health importance. However, the risk estimates and use of these risk scores for CVD prevention are the least explored areas. So, in this study, we explored the different categories of Framingham heart study (FHS) 10-year-CVD risk score and their associated factors among the adult male population in Tamil Nadu, India.Methods: We used the risk factor level data for male adults aged 18 years and above from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) of Tamil Nadu state, India. Sociodemographic variables, behavioral factors, and physiological/biochemical factors were considered as the risk factor and were estimated using the world health organization (WHO) STEPS categories. FHS 10-year-CVD risk score was calculated using a body-mass index-based published Cox regression equation.Results: Out of 2289 adult males, only 1.12% of the participants had a 10-year CVD risk score greater than 30% and ~4% of the total participants require statin treatment (FRS-CVD risk score ≥ 20). Educational status (aOR:14.21, 95 CI: 4.36e46.22- no formal schooling when compared to 10th and above standard), weekly fruit intake (aOR:0.51, 95 CI: 0.27e0.97 when compared to daily fruit intake) and abdominal obesity (aOR:2.43, 95 CI: 1.58e3.74) were found to be associated with higher FRS scores when adjusted for all other factors not involved in FRS calculation.

description: In this study, we construct a reliability acceptance sampling inspection plan to decide whether to accept or reject a lot of products where the One Parameter Polynomial Exponential (OPPE) family of distributions governs the lifetimes. The OPPE distribution has infinite support. To utilise finite support, it has transformed into its unit form, i.e. having the support (0, 1). The design of the plan, Operating characteristic curve, and Sampling procedure are discussed. Determination of the plan parameters using an algorithm is stated. The optimal sample size is determined to protect the consumer’s confidence level. Two simplest particular choices of the OPPE family the exponential and the Lindley are chosen as examples, and optimal plan parameters are tabulated and compared. The plan is executed with three real-life data sets.

description: The current study aims to assess the structure's reliability using stochastic Hermite surface methodology. This approach uses series expansion of standard normal random variables to model uncertainty. (i.e., polynomial chaos expansion). The coefficients of the polynomial chaos expansion are found through stochastic collocation, which only requires a few performance function evaluations. After determining the order of the polynomial and its coefficients, first order methods calculates the reliability index. To demonstrate the applicability of the suggested based reliability analysis, failure rates were used and the duration for the evaluated were set to be 360 days. Numerical result are provided on monthly basics. On the other hand, to achieve our goal, we proposed the 2-parameter modified Weibull distribution. The simulation was performed using Maple software. The evaluation for each subsystem was displayed in the result and analyses section. The conclusion, however, draws a broad conclusion about the study.

Ornitholestes hermanni

description: Ornitholestes hermanni Osborn, 1903 Age. Kimmeridgian-Tithonian. Occurrence. Morrison Formation, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, USA. Diagnosis. Premaxillary teeth massive, larger than maxillary teeth, with distally flattened tip, and without serrations; articular facet of quadrate subrectangular in outline; retroarticular processes offset medially from lateral margin of mandible. Remarks. Orn itholestes (Text-fig. 5h) is the only small theropod dinosaur from the Morrison Formation that is represented by a fairly complete skeleton and is, therefore, of considerable interest. The original material comprises a crushed skull and partial postcranium (Osborn 1903, 1916). A partial articulated manus from the same locality was referred to the same taxon (Osborn 1903), although this referai is questionable (Holtz 2000, pers. comm. 2001). It is rather surprising that no detailed description of the material has been published so far. Fortunately, the type skull (AMNH 619) has recently been reprepared, so that many important cranial characters are visible now for the first time. Paul (1988tz, 6) argued for a close relationship between Orn itholestes and Proceratosaurus, and reconstructed the skull of the former taxon with a nasal horn. My observations of the type specimen of Ornitholestes (AMNH 619) revealed little evidence for the presence of such a structure; the apparent upward flexure of the posterior border of the external nares on the left side of the skull is caused by a break and subsequent ventral displacement of the ascending process of the maxilla and the nasals.

Temporal range. Late Jurassic. Occurrence. Shishugou Formation, Xinjiang, China; Shangshaxiamiao Formation, Sichuan, China. Diagnosis. Promaxillary foramen enlarged and larger than maxillary foramen; large, deep excavatio pneumatica in the ascending process of the maxilla, enclosing one or several pneumatic openings; a further synapomorphy of sinraptorids may be the presence of a medial posterior prong in the jugal; the existence of this prong is known in S. dongi, but its presence cannot be confirmed in the other species because these taxa are based on articulated skulls. Remarks. Although all of the taxa included in the Sinraptoridae have been described as separate species, their morphology seems to be almost identical, as far as can be judged from published accounts (Dong et al. 1983; Gao 1992; Currie and Zhao 19936). Since both species of Yangchuanosaurus are also from the same formation, it seems possible that all the specimens represent only one species. The differences between Sinraptor dongi and Sinraptor hepingensis listed by Currie and Zhao (19936, p. 2039) are very slight and probably lie within the limits of individual variation. However, since I have not examined this material, all described species are provisionally retained as valid taxa, pending a revision of the Sinraptoridae. Given that all character codings within sinraptorids are identical, they are treated as one operational unit.

description: The production stage of the manufacturing process contains numerous subsystems, and the failure of one might have an impact on the entire system. Thus, a manufacturing plant needs to be reliable and well-maintained. This paper examines the profitability and reliability of a production plant for utensils while taking the effect of temperature into account. The plant processes raw materials through several subsystems in series including cutting, pressing, spinning, and polishing & packing. Winter production requires a significant amount of heat which could damage the machinery. As a result, production is low and preventive maintenance is carried out during the winter. For both the summer and winter seasons, many system measures have been assessed. The time distributions have been assumed to be exponential. The model has been analysed using the Markov and Regenerative processes. The production fluctuation between the summer and winter seasons have been illustrated using a numerical example with specific values for the parameters.

Management controls of liberalised state owned entities: duality of the rational–legal (modern–neoliberal) and the patrimonial–feudal (traditional)

description: This thesis explores management controls and the consequences of dysfunctions in the operation of management controls in liberalised State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Sri Lanka. The thesis argues that there is a duality of traditional (feudal–patrimonial) and modern (rational–neoliberal) control elements, and that this duality can better explain management control issues of developing countries such as Sri Lanka. In the process, it aims to extend management control theory relating to SOEs in developing countries by constructing a multidisciplinary theoretical framework. The main research problem was articulated as: does the apparent duality between traditional and modern elements in Sri Lanka assist in understanding management control dysfunctions in liberalised SOEs? Traditional control elements that were rooted in the ancient hydraulic civilisation of Sri Lanka were examined by using a set of theories and concepts including mode of production, hydraulic civilisation, peasant ideology and Weberian theory of power. The modern control elements were examined by using theories of rational–legal bureaucracy, institutions and neoliberalism. The adaptive theory research methodology of this thesis facilitated theory generation and adaptation by combining structure (overarching social relations) with agency (individual subjectivity) in a single research project. While social theories informed social structure, in-depth interviews helped understand individual subjectivity. Empirical data was collected from three liberalised state owned enterprises operating in three nationally significant industries namely agribusiness, energy and telecommunication. The conclusion reached in this thesis by referring to extant theories and to the three case companies in oil, milk and telecommunications was that the duality of traditional and modern elements can assist in understanding management control issues of developing countries such as Sri Lanka. The rational–legal bureaucracy was transformed into a feudal–patrimonial bureaucracy by the duality. Management controls that included regulatory controls, business planning, budgeting, performance controls, personnel controls, cost controls and task controls did not function as expected since the civil servants, employees, politicians and trade unions used these controls to satisfy organisational practices based on traditional feudal relations. This thesis has potential implications for the theory and methodology of management control of liberalised SOEs in other developing nations, policy planning pertaining to SOEs, donor agencies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the managers and consultants of SOEs and for further research on management control.

description: Stokesosaurus clevelandi Madsen, 1974; metataxon Age. Kimmeridgian-Tithonian. Occurrence. Morrison Formation, Utah, USA. Diagnosis. Differs from all other Late Jurassic theropods in the presence of a sharply defined vertical ridge on the ilium above the acetabulum. Remarks. Although Stokesosaurus clevelandi is based only on an isolated ilium from the Cleveland Lloyd Quarry in the Morrison Formation of Utah (Madsen 1974), the specimen is distinct from all other Jurassic theropods. In the original description, Madsen (1974) also referred a premaxilla to the same species, and just recently, Chure and Madsen (1998) described a braincase from the type locality as IStokesosaurus. Although the braincase in particular may well be referable to Stokesosaurus, this assignment is not accepted here, since there is no information about the association of these remains, and the Cleveland Lloyd Quarry has yielded thousands of theropod bones of at least four different species (Chure and Madsen 1998). Despite its fragmentary nature, Stokesosaurus clevelandi is of considerable interest since the type ilium and referred ilia (Madsen 1974) show many similarities to tyrannosaurids, a group that is otherwise only known from the Cretaceous. Therefore, Stokesosaurus is included in the analysis, although only a few characters can be coded for this taxon.

description: System reliability and maintenance cost are the most crucial and decisive factors influencing consumers’ buying behaviour. The manufacturer attempts to address the consumer concern by offering a warranty in accordance with the reliability of the system and maintenance costs. This study aims to examine the stochastic behaviour of a single unit system operating in three different time frames, namely normal, extended and expired warranty time duration. The system user can prolong the normal warranty period at an extra cost. This prolonged warranty is termed an ‘Extended Warranty’. However, the manufacturer provides a warranty on a system with certain conditions. If the failures are covered under the warranty conditions, the repair/replacement is done free of cost; otherwise, all charges are borne by the system user. Markov and regenerative processes are used to derive the system’s reliability and other performability measures. Time distributions used in the study are taken as arbitrary. The profit function for the manufacturer and the user is formulated and analysed. Sensitivity analysis for system availabilities in different time zones and profit functions is also done. Numerical examples for exponential, Weibull and Erlang time distributions are discussed to illustrate the derived measures.

The statistical as well as the distributional properties of the new distribution are studied. The flexibility of the distribution is illustrated by means of real data sets. We also introduce a reliability test plan for acceptance or rejection of a lot of products submitted for inspection when lifetimes follow the new distribution. The minimum sample size using binomial and Poisson approximations, operating characteristic values and minimum ratios of the true value and the required value of the parameter with a given producer’s risk are also developed with respect to the newly introduced sampling plans. A real data example is also given to illustrate the sampling plan developed.

description: The control of a ferromagnet's magnetization via only electric currents requires the efficient generation of current-driven spin-torques. In magnetic structures based on topological insulators (TIs) current-induced spin-orbit torques can be generated. Here we show that the addition of graphene, or bilayer graphene, to a TI-based magnetic structure greatly enhances the current-induced spin density accumulation and significantly reduces the amount of power dissipated. We find that this enhancement can be as high as a factor of 100, giving rise to a giant Edelstein effect. Such a large enhancement is due to the high mobility of graphene (bilayer graphene) and to the fact that the graphene (bilayer graphene) sheet very effectively screens charge impurities, the dominant source of disorder in topological insulators. Our results show that the integration of graphene in spintronics devices can greatly enhance their performance and functionalities.

description: The association between a categorical variable and a group of interconnected factors is the main objective of the classification procedure. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) aims to provide a method for classifying populations and dividing up forthcoming observations among the groups that have already been identified. Under the suppositions of normality and homoscedasticity, the LDA produces the best discriminant rule for two or more groups. Outliers have a significant impact on the parameters of the LDA, mean, and covariance matrix. Robust methods are resistant to outliers. This paper explores the robust methods, namely the Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) estimator and Minimum Regularized Covariance Determinant (MRCD) estimators in the context of discriminant analysis under real environments. The MCD technique is used to estimate the location and dispersion matrix using the subset of the given size that has the lowest sample covariance determinant. Its fundamental problem is that it doesn’t provide a reliable result when the features/dimension is greater than the size of the subset. As a result, the MRCD method is employed and the efficiency is studied by computing the Apparent Error Rate (AER). In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the existing theory and methods of RLDA.

Mit diesem Trend einhergehend konnten Veränderungen der Bezugspraxis bei Bibliotheken einerseits und neue Preis- und Geschäftsmodelle bei Verlagen andererseits beobachtet werden. Neben der bequemeren Nutzbarkeit für die Leser bietet das neue Medium auch neue Formen des Kostencontrollings und der Optimierung für die Abnehmer. Dieser Workshop soll sich mit der Frage der Kostenrechnung und -verteilung für Konsortien für elektronische Informationsressourcen insbesondere eJournals beschäftigen. Dabei werden die neuen Möglichkeiten der Nutzungsmessung besonders berücksichtigt. Neben den theoretischen Ansätzen werden auch konkrete Beispielrechnungen durchgeführt und die Praktikabilität für die Umsetzung in der Praxis im besonderen Maße diskutiert.

Torvosaurus tanneri

description: Torvosaurus tanneri Galton and Jensen, 1979 Age. Kimmeridgian-Tithonian. Occurrence. Morrison Formation, Colorado,?Wyoming,?Utah, USA. Diagnosis. Opisthocoelous cervical vertebrae with a pronounced flat rim around the anterior ball; fenestra in neural arch of dorsal vertebrae in front of hyposphene. Remarks. Torvosaurus is one of the most recent species to be recognized as a distinct taxon of theropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation. The original type material included the long bones of a left and right forelimb from the Dry Mesa Quarry of western Colorado to which a dentary and a variety of postcranial elements from the same locality were referred (Galton and Jensen 1979). More material from the same quarry was referred to Torvosaurus by Jensen (1985) and Britt (1991). Britt (1991, p. 10) noted that the elements of the type were not found in association and designated the left humerus as the lectotype. The species Edmarka rex, described on the basis of fragmentary material from the Morrison Formation of Wyoming (Bakker et al. 1992), probably represents a junior synonym of Torvosaurus (Sues, pers. comm. 1998).

Subjects: wlcg token jwt authentication authorization

description: Since July 2017, the WLCG Authorization WG has been looking into how authentication and authorization technologies used on WLCG may evolve towards taking advantage of federated identities and standards commonly used in industry and academia, in particular through the use of JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Notable results include the publication of the WLCG Common JWT Profiles and the WLCG Bearer Token Discovery specification. This document aims to define milestones concerning technical aspects of the transition from X509 proxies with VOMS attributes toward the use of WLCG tokens in all relevant workflows. These milestones are tentative.

description: We propose a procedure to reconstruct characteristic features of an unknown stochastic system from the long-time full counting statistics of some of the system's transitions that are monitored by a detector. The full counting statistics is conveniently parametrized by so-called generalized factorial cumulants. Taking only a few of them as input information is sufficient to reconstruct important features such as the lower bound of the system dimension and the full spectrum of relaxation rates. The use of generalized factorial cumulants reveals system dimensions and rates that are hidden for ordinary cumulants. We illustrate the inverse counting-statistics procedure for two model systems: a single-level quantum dot in a Zeeman field and a single-electron box subjected to sequential and Andreev tunneling.

description: The purpose of the work is to build, on the basis of multi-component and multi-phase models of queuing systems (QS), mathematical models of maintenance and repair of vehicles by repair enterprises to increase the efficiency of their use. Results. The article considers multi-component and multi-stage mathematical models of QSs with the distribution of the arrival flow simultaneously between the system components, which consist of a certain number of service channels and waiting places in the queue. The same service channels can have different performance depending on the type of customers which they serve. Customers go through several stages of service and waiting. Considered are service of customers without a lack of time to stay in the service channel and waiting and with a lack of such time. The service process in the QS of each component consists of several (𝑘𝑒 ) stages with the corresponding duration, the full-service period will be equal to the sum of such time intervals. Stage durations have certain probability distributions with appropriate parameters, then the total duration of the service process will have a generalized Erlang distribution with parameters of probability distributions of stages of order 𝑘𝑒 . The number of components and their parameters correspond to the similar characteristics of the production divisions of the repair enterprise. The study of the effectiveness of the repair enterprise operation as a multi-component and multi-stage QS consists in determining the probability of service and the probability of failure of QS components and the system as a whole, the number of service channels, the number of customers in components, the number of customers in component queues, the duration of maintenance of customers in components and the system, the duration of being customers in queues of components and QSs, duration of stay of requirements in QSs and duration of customer waiting in QS queues. The model is implemented using Any Logic University Researcher. The AnyLogic University Researcher development environment allowed to combine the principles of system dynamics with the paradigms of agent and discrete-event modeling. In addition, thanks to the built-in Java SE compiler, a library of ready-made solutions is available, including generators of random variables, which significantly expands the possibilities of developing and implementing experiments. In particular, experiments on optimization (relative to a defined criterion), sensitivity of the model, stability of the model, etc. are available.

description: The interaction between the dark/mirror sector and the ordinary sector is considered, where the two sectors interact with each other by sharing the same QCD axion field. This feature makes the mixing between ordinary and dark/mirror photons in ordinary and dark electromagnetic fields possible. Perturbative solutions of the equations of motion describing the evolution of fields in ordinary and dark external magnetic fields are found. User-friendly quantities such as transition probability rates and Stokes parameters are derived. Possible astrophysical and cosmological applications of this model are suggested.

Afrovenator abakensis

description: Afrovenator abakensis Sereno, Wilson, Larsson, Dutheil and Sues, 1994 Age. Pre-Aptian Early Cretaceous (?Barremian). Occurrence. Tiouaren Formation, northern Niger. Diagnosis. Third cervical vertebra with a low, rectangular, almost axis-like neural spine; metacarpal I with broad flange for articulation against Me II. Remarks. Afrovenator abakensis is one of the very few theropods from the Cretaceous of Africa known from an associated skeleton, including parts of the skull and all regions of the postcranial skeleton, and is, therefore, of considerable interest. Its very generalized, basal tetanuran morphology makes a formal diagnosis based on apomorphic characters difficult. However, the species is clearly different from all other theropods described, and the few possible autapomorphies listed above indicate that it is not a metataxon.

description: Hazardous production facilities contain numerous technical devices, the reliability assessment of which is a part of quantitative risk assessment. The paper considers the pressure valve as a safety system element of equipment operating under excessive pressure and evaluates its reliability (survival function value) during the operational period. Valve reliability during the wear-out period has been modeled to assess wear-out period influence on this element failure probability. Modeling was carried out by approximating the failure rate tabular values obtained based on statistical data. Approximation was carried out by: a second-degree polynomial, the Weibull distribution law and a power function. Comparison of the obtained quantitative estimates with the element failure probability, calculated without taking into account the wear-out period, showed necessity of wear-out period influence consideration in risk assessment procedure.

Monte Carlo Simulation Study

description: The continuous Bernoulli distribution is a one-parameter probability distribution which is useful in analysis on machine learning. A handful of studies has been done to generalize the continuous Bernoulli distribution. In this paper, we introduced a wider extension of the continuous Bernoulli distribution by considering its distribution function as a generator. We referred to the proposed family as the continuous Bernoulli-generated family of distributions. Basic statistical treatments of the proposed family such as the density and cumulative distribution functions, survival and hazard rate functions, quantile, moments, moment generating function, and Renyi entropy are derived. The method of maximum likelihood is employed to estimate the unknown parameters of the family and the asymptotic behaviour of the parameter estimates is investigated via Monte Carlo simulation study. The waiting time (in minutes) of 100 Bank customers and the tensile strength measured in GPa, of 69 carbon fibers data sets formed the basis for real-life data fittings. Results obtained from the fitting of the two data sets when compared with some existing non-nested models revealed that the fittings were in favor of the continuous-Bernoulli Weibull distribution over the rest competing distributions.
