Linear profile monitoring using EWMA structure under ranked set schemes
(
Springer London
, 2017 , Article)
In many manufacturing processes, study variable is not the only quality characteristic, but there may exist some explanatory variable(s) that are associated with the study variable. This association may be linear or nonlinear ...
Synthesis and characterization of electrically conductive poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) nanocomposites
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) copolymers with varying compositions of the monomers have been prepared in this work by copolymerization of aniline and 3-bromoaniline using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Structure and ...
The theta-complete graph Ramsey number R(θn K5) = 4n - 3 for n = 6 and n≥ 10
(
Charles Babbage Research Centre
, 2017 , Article)
For any two graphs F1 and F2, the graph Ramsey number r(F1, F2) is the smallest positive integer N with the property that every graph of at least N vertices contains F1 or its complement contains F2 as a subgraph. In this ...
Preliminary Test Estimation of the Threshold in the Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution Based on Records and Minimax Regret Significance Levels
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
SYNOPTIC ABSRACT: We consider preliminary test estimation of the threshold parameter of the two-parameter exponential distribution using record-breaking data. We use the minimax regret criterion on the risk function of the ...
The Hsp72 and Hsp90a mRNA responses to hot downhill running are reduced following a prior bout of hot downhill running, and occur concurrently within leukocytes and the vastus lateralis
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2017 , Article)
The leukocyte heat shock response (HSR) is used to determine individual's thermotolerance. The HSR and thermotolerance are enhanced following interventions such as preconditioning and/or acclimation/acclimatization. However, ...
