Sulfide produced from sewers is considered one of the dominant threats to public health and sewer lifespan due to its toxicity and corrosiveness. In this study, we developed an environmental-friendly strategy for sulfide control by enriching indigenous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) from sewer...

Let X=(X1,X2,...,Xn) be a random vector of n independent random variables and be an increasing function. This paper investigates the other forms of [psi] and such that the conditional distribution of X, given [psi](X)[set membership, variant][Delta], is NA under some mild conditions. An...

The closeness of distribution functions of order statistics between positively (negatively) associated and independent random variables is compared. One application is presented.

In this paper, an empirical Bayes (EB) estimator is derived for the estimable functions of the parameters in normal linear model. The superiority of the EB estimator over ordinary least-squares (LS) estimator is investigated under mean square error matrix (MSEM) criterion.
