since knowledge on hydrodynamic torque of a butterfly valve is very important for butterfly valve design, its hydrodynamic torque is investigated in this paper. in reality, the investigation of the loss coefficient and torque from some experiments will take a long time and a lot of money. this paper presents a statistical study of the flow past the butterfly valve in a static analysis using com...

In this paper, we deal with the fundamental concepts and properties of ergodicity coefficients in a hierarchical sense by making use of partition. Moreover, we establish a hierarchial Hajnal’s inequality improving some previous results.

Diaconis, P. and R. Graham, Binomial coefficient codes over GF(2) Discrete Mathematics 106/107 (1992) 181-188. In this note we study codes over GF(2) which are generated for given d and r by binary vectors of the form ((y), (,‘), , ({), . , (*‘i ‘)) (mod 2), 0 <i =Z d. We describe the weight enumerators of these codes and the numbers of codewords of weights 1 and 2. These results can be used to...

In this paper, the varying-coefficient single-indexmodel (VCSIM) is proposed. It can be seen as a generalization of the semivaryingcoefficient model by changing its constant coefficient part to a nonparametric component, or a generalization of the partially linear single-indexmodel by replacing the constant coefficients of its linear part with varying coefficients. Based on the local linear met...

Random Coefficient Panel Data Models This paper provides a review of linear panel data models with slope heterogeneity, introduces various types of random coefficients models and suggest a common framework for dealing with them. It considers the fundamental issues of statistical inference of a random coefficients formulation using both the sampling and Bayesian approaches. The paper also provid...

Gold nanostars (NStars) are highly attractive for biological applications due to their surface chemistry, facile synthesis and optical properties. Here, we synthesize NStars in HEPES buffer at different HEPES/Au ratios, producing NStars of different sizes and shapes, and therefore varying optical properties. We measure the extinction coefficient of the synthesized NStars at their maximum surfac...

THE COEFFICIENT of oxygen utilization is defined as the arteriovenous difference in oxygen concentration divided by the concentration of oxygen in the arterial blood. Multiplication of the ratio by 100 converts the coefficient into the per cent of arterial oxygen which is removed by the tissue. The term "oxygen extraction ratio" is frequently used as a synonym. Conflicting reports have appeared...

The rate coefficient for radiative and dielectronic recombination of berylliumlike magnesium ions was measured with high resolution at the Heidelberg heavy-ion storage ring TSR. In the electron-ion collision energy range 0–207 eV resonances due to 2s → 2p (∆N = 0) and 2s → 3l (∆N = 1) core excitations were detected. At low energies below 0.15 eV the recombination rate coefficient is dominated b...

NCSU, Princeton University, and UC-Davis Abstract: Functional linear regression analysis aims to model regression relations which include a functional predictor. The analogue to the regression parameter vector or matrix in conventional multivariate or multiple-response linear regression models is a regression parameter function in one or two arguments. If in addition one has scalar predictors, ...
