A note on optimality of hypothesis testing

Commonly, in accordance with a given risk-function of hypothesis testing, investigators try to derive an optimal property of a test. This paper demonstrates that criteria for which a given test is optimal can be declared by the structure of this test, and hence almost any reasonable test is optimal. In order to establish this conclusion, the principle idea of the fundamental lemma of Neyman and...

Influence of Calcium and Magnesium Compounds on Plant Growth

Some investigators seem to question the advisibility of using magnesium-bearing minerals in agricultural practices, since they deem magnesium detrimental to optimum plant growth. Magnesium in some forms is detrimental to plant growth. However, the natural carbonates, such as limestones and dolomites, are not detrimental but in reality beneficial to plant growth when applied in amounts sufficien...

Impact of halogenated compounds on calcium homeostasis in hepatocytes.

Halocarbons (CCl4, 1,1-dichlorethylene) cause a wide spectrum of effects and injury in hepatocytes. One early effect of these compounds is the inhibition and destruction of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium pump. Subsequent to inhibition of this pump, the ER calcium pool is depleted and cytosolic levels of calcium are increased for a prolonged period of time. This effect of halocarbons has...
