T&F Proofs: Not For Distribution

Validation of drop plate technique for bacterial enumeration by parametric and nonparametric tests

Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...

BLOW-UP AND NONGLOBAL SOLUTION FOR A FAMILY OF NONLINEAR HIGHER-ORDER EVOLUTION PROBLEM

In this paper we consider a kind of higher-order evolution equation as^{kt^{k} + ^{k&minus1}u/t^{k&minus1} +• • •+ut &minus{delta}u= f (u, {delta}u,x). For this equation, we investigate nonglobal solution, blow-up in finite time and instantaneous blow-up under some assumption on k, f and initial data. In this paper we employ the Test function method, the eneralized convexity method an...

Symmetric Logic of Proofs

The Logic of Proofs LP captures the invariant propositional properties of proof predicates t is a proof of F with a set of operations on proofs sufficient for realizing the whole modal logic S4 and hence the intuitionistic logic IPC. Some intuitive properties of proofs, however, are not invariant and hence not present in LP. For example, the choice function ‘+’ in LP, which is specified by the ...

Screening for a Multivariate Mixture Normal Distribution

A New Goodness-of-Fit Test for a Distribution by the Empirical Characteristic Function

Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...
