In spatial modeling the presence of measurement error, or “nugget”, can have a big impact on the sample behavior of the parameter estimates. This article investigates the nugget effect on maximum likelihood estimators for a onedimensional spatial model: Ornstein-Uhlenbeck plus additive white noise. Consistency and asymptotic distributions are obtained under infill asymptotics, in which a compac...

To optimize the tool geometry (Pin profile) and process parameters for the FSW process. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to understand the effect of rotational speed, welding speed and there different pin profiles on the nugget zone formation in AA 6063-T4 aluminum alloy. Three different tool pin profiles (tapered cylindrical, tapered square and square) have been used to f...

We define the notion of an interesting nugget in a document. Such nuggets attract a user's attention and lead them to explore more information around that nugget. In order to measure and model interestingness, we look at browsing sessions within Wikipedia and we build a data set of transitions (clickthrough) from a source Wikipedia page to a destination Wikipedia page through anchor clicks. We ...

This paper describes a short-amplicon-based TaqMan probe quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay for the quantitative detection of canine meat in chicken nuggets, which are very popular across the world, including Malaysia. The assay targeted a 100-bp fragment of canine cytb gene using a canine-specific primer and TaqMan probe. Specificity against 10 different animals and plants species demonst...

HITS participated in the English Entity Linking and Discovery (EDL) and Event Nugget Detection (EN task 1) tracks at TAC KBP 2015. Our EDL system introduces a novel, interleaved multitasking approach, which allows interaction between interdependent entity linking subtasks while avoiding the structural and algorithmic complexity of joint models. Out of the eight systems that participated in the ...

Several authors have proposed nonparametric semivariogram estimators. Shapiro & Botha (1991) did so by application of Bochner’s theorem and Cherry, Banfield & Quimby (1996) further investigated this technique where it performed favorably against parametric estimators even when data were generated under the parametric model. While this approach is sound, it lacks nugget estimation which is essen...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the effect of golden apple snail substitution and chicken meat on organoleptic characteristics nutritional values nuggets. used a single factor complete randomized design (CRD), with five treatments P0 (0% meat: 50% flour), P1 (45% 5% 50 wheat flour). P2 (40% 10% P3 (35% 15% P4 (30% 20% Data were analyzed using analysis variance (ANOVA). The results show t...

introduction: batter coating is a new technology to reduce fat content of fried foods. the ingredients and flowproperties of batter are the most important parameters to determine the performance of batter coating and quality of the final product. among batter additives, proteins can be used as an important and effective component, because of their emulsifying properties, water absorption, and b...

Shrew is an animal belong to small mammals that the existence must be noticed because it has defecation behavior and their droplets often pollutes house. can vectors in spread of infectious diseases human. management not been conducted well. Information about most preferred bait effective rodenticide as a reference controlling widely known. Chemical control using rodenticides enough does take l...
