Statistical Considerations for Exercise Protocols Aimed at Measuring Trainability

Statistical Considerations for Multiplicity in Confirmatory Protocols

Statistical issues concerning multiple response criteria, multiple treatment groups, and multiple subgroups in clinical trials require careful attention in order to avoid an inappropriately high prevalence of chance findings, as well as to avoid unsatisfactorily low power to detect real treatment differences. An underlying goal is using a 0.050 significance level as often as possible for separa...

Statistical Music Modeling Aimed at Identification and Alignment

This paper describes a methodology for the statistical modeling of music works. Starting from either the representation of the symbolic score or the audio recording of a performance, a hidden Markov model is built to represent the corresponding music work. The model can be used to identify unknown recordings and to align them with the corresponding score. Experimental evaluation using a collect...

Measuring protein dynamics in live cells: protocols and practical considerations for fluorescence fluctuation microscopy.

Quantitative analysis of protein complex stoichiometries and mobilities are critical for elucidating the mechanisms that regulate cellular pathways. Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) techniques can measure protein dynamics, such as diffusion coefficients and formation of complexes, with extraordinary precision and sensitivity. Complete calibration and characterization of the microscop...

Proposing a Novel Configuration for CGSs Aimed at Reducing Energy Consumption and Exergy Destruction

A CGS is of the most important parts in natural gas transmission pipelines in which the high inlet natural gas (NG) pressure is reduced to much lower value by employing a throttling valve. This pressure drop causes hydrate forming, preventing stable NG flow through the pipeline. To prevent hydrate forming, NG is usually preheated by heaters which burns remarkable amount of NG. In this work, a n...
