Finding alternative to most well known classical family of distributions has become a topic of high importance in academic research due to their striking properties. An increasing interest can be observed for the art of adding parameter to some existing distributions as one parameter family of distributions is not sufficient to handle various real contexts. There is a vast amount of literature ...

Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution has been studied by Salah, et al. [11,12]. In this paper, we consider the analysis of the hybrid censored data when the life time distribution of the individuals item is a two-parameter Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution. We study the estimations of the shape (α) and scale (λ ) parameters of Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution based on Type-II hy...

The feasibility of using large rubber chunks from shredded tires as aggregates in coldmixes for road construction was investigated in this study. The research was directed toward development of a chunk rubber asphalt concrete mix design for low volume road construction using local aggregate, shredded tire rubber chunks and a cationic emulsion. A set of mixes using different combinations of chun...

The activity of crystalline trypsin and the trypsin-like amidase activity and the activity of trypsin inhibitors in serum were measured fluorometically, with a-benzoyl--L-arginine--na phthylamide (BANA) as substrate. The method is simpler and more sensitive than the colorimetric method based on the Bratton-Marshall reaction. Serum of pancreatectomized dogs hydrolyzed BANA at a significant rate,...
