The branch of statistics relative to analysis of predictable period of time until one or more event occurs is termed survival analysis. Survival analysis is a system of data collection and analysis where the outcome variable is the time until the event of an interest occurs [1]. The technique deals with the creation of timing data that goes with event of either failure or death. However the pat...

A number of new relations between the Kaplan Yorke dimension, phase space contraction, transport coefficients and the maximal Lyapunov exponents are given for dissipative thermostatted systems, subject to a small but non-zero external field in a nonequilibrium stationary state. A condition for the extensivity of phase space dimension reduction is given. A new expression for the linear transport...

A number of paradoxes tie up this scene of resignation. An identifiable subject speaks of his loss, of becoming anonymous. In an autobiographical narrative, Abstract of an Artist, the writes of his artistic techniques for losing himself, for losing his signature, the loss of assignment to a signature. In this manner, the text written as Abstract of an Artist documents the abstracting of an arti...

The presence of dead code may affect the comprehensibility, the readability, and the size of source code so increasing the effort and the cost for maintenance. The elimination of dead code needs a huge cost and effort for recognizing and eliminating code that is not effectively used. The goal of this work consists in defining an approach based on the Kaplan Meier estimator to analyze dead code....

Received Accepted Why do we age? Since ageing is a near-universal feature of complex organisms, a convincing theory must provide a robust evolutionary explanation for its ubiquity. This theory should be compatible with the physiological evidence that ageing is largely due to deterioration, which is, in principle, reversible through repair. Moreover, this theory should also explain why natural s...

MANY important questions in genetics involve looking back in time using data sampled in the present. The coalescent process describes the ancestry of a sample of genes: as lineages trace back, they coalesce at a rate inversely proportional to the effective population size. This remarkably simple approximation now dominates population genetics, both because it gives a direct intuition into the e...

Psychologists have discovered a phenomenon called "Belief Bias" in which subjects rate the strength of arguments based on the believability of the conclusions. This paper reports the results of a small qualitative pilot study of undergraduate students who had previously taken an algebra-based introduction to statistics class. The subjects in this study exhibited a form of Belief Bias when reaso...

INTRODUCTION The sensory innervation of the hand is usually unvarying and anomalies in this area are uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a rare ulnar nerve branch called a Kaplan anastomosis, which anastomosed the dorsal cutaneous branch with the ulnar nerve prior to its bifurcation into the superficial and deep ramus. CONCLUSION Many authors have reported unusual ulnar nerve ...

The authors first address two paradoxes in the theory of possible worlds and propositions stemming from Russell and Kaplan and show that these paradoxes don’t affect the object-theoretic analysis of worlds and propositions. However, Kit Fine has formulated an object-theoretic version of Kaplan’s paradox that threatens to show that object theory is, after all, no better off. The initial, most st...
