BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is a disease with a high case fatality of 4.65%. OBJECTIVES To describe the survival pattern of patients on Directly Observed Treatment-Short course (DOTS) according to categories, age and sex of patients. SETTINGS Tuberculosis unit (TU) at District Tuberculosis Centre (DTC), Yavatmal, India. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of patien...

To clinically measure blood pressure at extra corporeal bloodlines involves a hazard due to the infection risk and a risk for thrombosis formation. The aim was to design a non-invasive pressure sensor, measuring directly on a tube section. A modified tube cross-section was used to improve sensitivity. Using the developed sensing principle, a consistent relation (r=0.999) was obtained between pr...

It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of so(n) are equilibrium points for the rigid body dynamics. In the case of so(4) there are three coordinate type Cartan subalgebras which on a regular adjoint orbit give three Weyl group orbits of equilibria. These coordinate type Cartan subalgebras are the analogues of the three axes of equi...

The second part of a seismic risk assessment study for the Iranian city Isfahan is presented, focusing on description hazard, analysis, and discussion results. This utilizes building exposure model, fragility vulnerability curves illustrated in companion paper. earthquake occurrence source model adopted based EMME14 hazard study. site effects accounting soil nonlinear behavior are modeled by me...

The muon tomography technique, based on the multiple Coulomb scattering of cosmic ray muons, has been proposed recently as a tool to perform non-destructive assays of large volume objects without any radiation hazard. In this paper we describe the algorithms used and we show the experimental results obtained with a scanning system prototype, assembled using two large area CMS Muon Barrel drift ...

Tthe Zografos–Balakrishnan-log-logistic (ZBLL) distribution is a new distribution of three parameters that has been introduced by Ramos et el. [1], and They presented some properties of the new distribution such as its probability density function, The cumulative distribution function, The  moment generating function, its hazard (failure) rate function, quantiles and moments, Rényi and Shannon ...

In various statistical model, such as density estimation and estimation of regression curves or hazard rates, monotonicity constraints can arise naturally. A frequently encountered problem in nonparametric statistics is to estimate a monotone density function f on a compact interval. A known estimator for density function of f under the restriction that f is decreasing, is Grenander estimator, ...
