Regression-type estimators for adaptive two-stage sequential sampling
( Springer , 2013 , Article)Adaptive two-stage sequential sampling (ATSSS) design was developed to observe more rare units and gain higher efficiency, in the sense of having a smaller variance estimator, than conventional sampling designs with equal ... -
Bootstrap confidence intervals for adaptive cluster sampling design based on Horvitz-Thompson type estimators
( Kluwer Academic Publishers , 2014 , Article)Perez and Pontius (J Stat Comput Simul 76:755-764, 2006) introduced several bootstrap methods under adaptive cluster sampling using a Horvitz-Thompson type estimator. Using a simulation study, they showed that their proposed ... -
Horvitz-thompson estimator of population mean under inverse sampling designs
( Iranian Mathematical Society , 2012 , Article)Inverse sampling design is generally considered to be an appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only a few units. Here, we de- rive the Horvitz-Thompson estimator ... -
Application of Balanced Acceptance Sampling to an Intertidal Survey
( De Gruyter Open Ltd , 2017 , Article)In ecological studies, the population of interest is often spread over a large area. In these studies, obtaining a sample with good spatial coverage is an important feature in the design of a survey. In most cases adjacent, ... -
Adaptive two-stage inverse sampling design to estimate density, abundance, and occupancy of rare and clustered populations
( Public Library of Science , 2021 , Article)Sampling rare and clustered populations is challenging because of the effort required to find rare units. Heuristically, a practitioner would prefer to discontinue sampling in areas where rare units of interest are apparently ... -
Sampling of Multiple Variables Based on Partially Ordered Set Theory
( Iranian Statistical Society , 2021 , Article)We introduce a new method for ranked set sampling with multiple criteria. The method relaxes the restriction of selecting just one individual variable from each ranked set. Under the new method for ranking, units are ranked ... -
Students Impression About Using Mobile Phones in Classroom
( Kassel University Press GmbH , 2020 , Article)Mobile phones are widely used by university students and there is a controversial topic whether students should be able to use them freely during lectures. A survey was distributed seeking student opinions on using mobile ... -
Review of Progress and Prospects in Research on Enzymatic and Non- Enzymatic Biofuel Cells; Specific Emphasis on 2D Nanomaterials
( Bentham Science Publishers , 2022 , Article)Energy generation from renewable sources and effective management are two critical challenges for sustainable development. Biofuel Cells (BFCs) provide an elegant solution by combining these two tasks. BFCs are defined by ... -
The effect of graphene on the activation energy of grain growth for the nanocrystalline thermoelectric n‑type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3
(2022 , Article)Even though bismuth telluride is frequently produced by mechanical alloying for thermoelectric materials, no data has been published addressing the thermal behavior and activation energy of the milled n-type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 ... -
Evaluation of the Influence of Eggshell (ES) Concentration on the Degradation Behavior of Mg–2.5Zn Biodegradable Alloy in Simulated Body Fluid
( American Chemical Society (ACS) , 2023 , Article)Currently, permanent vascular stents are fabricated using titanium and stainless steel implants that are nondegradable and offer high stability, but they have certain disadvantages. For example, the prolonged exposition ... -
Emotion-Cognition Interaction in Nonhuman Primates: Cognitive Avoidance of Negative Stimuli in Baboons (Papio papio)
( SAGE , 2016 , Article)It is well established that emotion and cognition interact in humans, but such an interaction has not been extensively studied in nonhuman primates. We investigated whether emotional value can affect nonhuman primates’ ... -
The World (of Warcraft) through the eyes of an expert
( PeerJ , 2017 , Article)Negative correlations between pupil size and the tendency to look at salient locations were found in recent studies (e.g., Mathôt et al., 2015). It is hypothesized that this negative correlation might be explained by the ... -
The Adaptation and Validation of an Arabic Version of the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (A-CSDD)
( IOS Press , 2018 , Article)Background: Depression is a major disorder that can be ttriggering, exacerbating, or co-occurring with dementia symptoms. Its assessment is paramount to achieve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic decisions. The Cornell ... -
The Role of Attention in Word Recognition: Results from OB1-Reader
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2020 , Article)When reading, orthographic information is extracted not only from the word the reader is looking at, but also from adjacent words in the parafovea. Here we examined, using the recently introduced OB1-reader computational ... -
The dynamics of negative stereotypes as revealed by tweeting behavior in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)We describe the evolution of a stereotype as it emerged in tweets about the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris in early 2015. Our focus is on terms associated with the Muslim community and the Islamic world. The data ... -
Understanding the buffering effect of social media use on anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown
( Springer , 2021 , Article)During the COVID-19 outbreak, lockdown measures have been deployed worldwide. In the wake of these measures, internet and social media use has reached unprecedented peaks. We hypothesize that social media can, in the context ... -
