this comment is to show that theorem3.3 of dey and chung (1991) (multiparameter estimation intruncated power series distributions under the stein's loss.emph{commun. statist.-theory meth.,} {bf 20}, 309-326) may giveus misleading results. analytically and through simulation, weshow that the theorem does not improve the given estimator.

due to the quick growth of the world wide web, retrieval of useful informationfrom the internet for a particular web user or a group of users becomes verydifficult. recommendation systems using web usage mining help providing anadaptive web environment for the web users. this paper presents a novel approachfor page recommendation using fuzzy association rule mining algorithm. thismethod extract...

Automatic comment generation is a special and challenging task to verify the model ability on news content comprehension language generation. Comments not only convey salient interesting information in articles, but also imply various different reader characteristics which we treat as essential clues for diversity. However, most of approaches focus saliency extraction, while reader-aware factor...

One of the most important steps involved in mining operations is to select an appropriate extraction method for mine resources. After choosing the extraction method, it is usually impossible to replace it with another one because it may be so expensive that implementation of the entire project could be economically impossible. Choosing a mining method depends on the geological and geometrical c...

We describe a new species of riparian lizard from the foothills and submontane forest El Sira Communal Reserve, Departamento de Huánuco, Peru, at elevations 540 to 760 m. name Potamites hydroimperator sp. nov. because it is only living in streams this isolated mountain.
