By using three-mode principal components analysis and perfect congruence analysis in conjunction, the factorial structure of the 11 correlation matrices of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised was analyzed within a single framework. This allows a unified description showing both the strong similarities between the standardization samples and some small differences related to age...

We show, via a simple parametrization of the multiplicity distribution of charged particles in ee annihilation at the Z peak in terms of the weighted superposition of two negative binomial distributions, that both the shoulder structure in the intermediate multiplicity range and the oscillation in sign of the ratio of factorial cumulants over factorial moments of increasing order are related to...

When several treatments are available for evaluation in a clinical trial, different design options are available. We compare multi-arm multi-stage with factorial designs, and in particular, we will consider a 2 × 2 factorial design, where groups of patients will either take treatments A, B, both or neither. We investigate the performance and characteristics of both types of designs under differ...

The aim of this study is to prepare fluvastatin nanostructured lipid carriers (FLV-NLCs) in order to find an innovative way to alleviate FLV-associated disadvantages. The limitations include poor solubility and extensive first-pass metabolism, resulting in low (30%) bioavailability and short elimination half-life (1-3 hours). FLV-NLCs were prepared by hot emulsification-ultrasonication method. ...
