On the estimation of reliabilty function in a Weibull lifetime distribution
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2008 , Article)
The estimation of the reliability function of the Weibull lifetime model is considered in the presence of uncertain prior information (not in the form of prior distribution) on the parameter of interest. This information ...
On the 'independence of trials-assumption' in geometric distribution
(
Taylor & Francis, Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
In this note, it is shown through an example that the assumption of the independence of Bernoulli trials in the geometric experiment may unexpectedly not be satisfied. The example can serve as a suitable and useful classroom ...
A New Low Cost Linear Resolver Converter
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Article)
A new low cost converter topology is proposed for sinusoidal position encoders. The converter enables determination of the angle from the sine and cosine signals of the encoder. When used with resolvers, the implementation ...
Numerical bifurcation of predator-prey fractional differential equations with a constant rate harvesting
(
IOP Publishing
, 2008 , Article)
In this article saddle and Hopf bifurcation points of predator-prey fractional differential equations system with a constant rate harvesting are investigated. The numerical results based on Grunwald-Letnikov discretization ...
A New One-Step Iterative Process for Common Fixed Points in Banach Spaces
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2008 , Article)
We introduce a new one-step iterative process and use it to approximate the common fixed points of two asymptotically nonexpansive mappings through some weak and strong convergence theorems. Our process is computationally ...
Geology and petrology of the Hormuz dolomite, Infra-Cambrian: Implications for the formation of the salt-cored Halul and Shraouh islands, Offshore, State of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
Geological investigations of the Halul and the Shraouh islands, offshore Qatar, indicate that most of their calcareous rocks, which display abundant stromatolitic bedding, belong to the Infra-Cambrian Hormuz Series. ...
Isolation and characterization of extracellular bioflocculants produced by bacteria isolated from Qatari ecosystems
(
POLISH SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGISTS
, 2008 , Article)
Compared with conventional synthetic flocculants, bioflocculants has special advantages such as safety, strong effect, biodegradable and harmlessness to humans and the environment, so they may potentially be applied in ...
Analysis of particulate behavior in porous media
(
Shanghai University Press
, 2008 , Article)
In this work, we analyze the behavior of the particle phase in the flow of a particle-laden mixture through a porous medium. An attempt is made to model the diffusion and dispersion processes, and to quantify the deviation ...
A review of problem solving capabilities in lean process management
(
Science Publications
, 2008 , Article)
Human factor plays an important role in ensuring lean process management to be successful and provides good proposition for the success of the organization in the long run. One of the main elements of people is their problem ...
Incidence, severity and preventability of medication-related visits to the emergency department: A prospective study
(
Canadian Medical Association
, 2008 , Article)
Background: Medication-related visits to the emergency department are an important but poorly understood phenomenon. We sought to evaluate the frequency, severity and preventability of drug-related visits to the emergency ...
