Oxygen is the most important energy source for sustaining life, especial for aquatic animal because of directly affecting the most of life activities of them. Frequently, dissolved oxygen fluctuates significantly in water result in hypoxic stress for fish. Importantly, it is extremely necessary...

To establish a facile and feasible method to evaluate and control the quality of Jatropha curcus L. seed oil for biodiesel feedstock, Gas chromatographic (GC) fingerprint technology was introduced and employed. Initially, the chromatograms of the 13 oil samples from various plantation zones in...

During the time of increased work reorganization, I investigate the components of bureaucratic and high performance work systems and the sources of variation in an organization's adoption of bureaucratic and high performance practices.

For an open set [Theta] of k, let \s{P[theta]: [theta] [set membership, variant] [Theta]\s} be a parametric family of probabilities modeling the distribution of i.i.d. random variables X1,..., Xn. Suppose Xi's are subject to right censoring and one is only able to observe the pairs (min(Xi, Yi),...

Standard approaches to semiparametric modelling of two-sample survival data are not appropriate when the two survival curves cross. We introduce a two-sample model that accommodates crossing survival curves. The two scalar parameters of the model have the interpretations of being the short-term...
