One of the most fundamental concepts in statistics is the concept of sample mean. Properties of the sample mean that are well-defined in Euclidean spaces become unwieldy or even unclear in graph spaces. Open problems related to the sample mean of graphs include: non-existence, non-uniqueness, statistical inconsistency, lack of convergence results of mean algorithms, non-existence of midpoints, ...

The phase diagram of the ternary system Sr/Mo/O has been determined at a temperature of 1000°C. Powder samples of the ternary compounds SrM o04, Sr3M o06, SrMo03, Sr2M o04 and SrMo50 8 were prepared by solid state reactions. The thermochemical data of all ternary compounds were determined.oA new compound, Sr3Mo20 7, with a layered perovskite structure (a = 3.967(1), c = 20.588(5) A, I4/mmm) was...

We study interlayer transport in double-layered (mmm) quantum Hall liquids in the weak tunneling limit, in particular the effects of lead geometry on the I-V characteristics of interlayer tunneling. We proposed several practical ways to study experimentally the novel interlayer transport properties in the double-layered (mmm) quantum Hall liquids. Some concrete predictions on the DC characteris...

Mixed matrix membrane used to selective removal of CO2 was considered as an efficient solution to energy and environmental sustainability. In this study, a MMM that consists of amide functionalized porous coordination polymer filler (MIL-53-NH2) was successfully prepared, which sharply promotes the CO2/N2 selectivity from 44 (neat polymeric membrane) to 75. Remarkably, the positive effect of am...

Introduction: Dust suspended in the Martian atmosphere is crucial in determining the thermal and dynamical conditions. Diurnal variation of dust, waterice and boundary-layer characteristics at the NASA Phoenix lander site are investigated using a onedimensional Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) model and a Mars Microphysical Model (MMM). The diurnal cycle of temperature measured by the Phoenix l...

In this paper the approach to the software project dynamics research and optimisation is presented. This approach is based on the Measurement, Modelling and Management of the software development process (the MMM approach). We propose to collect the statistics data of such software project parameters as software product size, requirements size, effort, duration, staff number, costs, etc. in ord...
