in the last decades researchers had focused on developing a vaccine against tick based on protective antigen. recombinant vaccines based on concealed antigen from boophilus microplus have been developed in australia and cuba by the name of tickgard and gavac (de la fuente and kocan, 2006). further studies on this antigen have shown some extent of protection against other species (de vos et al.,...

This paper discusses the empirical likelihood ratio test for testing equality of medians of two distributions. Yu et al. (2011) proposed four forms of empirical likelihood ratio test for testing this hypothesis and one of them is based on the pooled sample median. The asymptotic distribution of the test statistic as derived in Yu et al (2011) differ from the one obtained in Nimbalkar and Rajars...

We develop an approach for microarray differential expression analysis, i.e. identifying genes whose expression levels differ between two or more groups. Current approaches to inference rely either on full parametric assumptions or on permutation-based techniques for sampling under the null distribution. In some situations, however, a full parametric model cannot be justified, or the sample siz...

In this paper we consider the problem of testing for a parameter change based on the cusum test proposed by Lee et al. The cusum test statistic is constructed via employing the estimator minimizing density-based divergence measures. It is shown that under regularity conditions, the test statistic has the limiting distribution of the sup of standard Brownian bridge. Simulation results demonstrat...

le « regard » est un des thèmes importants de la littérature française. l’importance de ce thème se redouble surtout par les rapports étroits entre la poésie et l’art plastique au xxe siècle et elle s’effectue surtout à travers les rapports entre le surréalisme et la peinture. dans cet article, nous envisageons d’étudier la thématique du « regard » et ses différents aspects dans l’univers de p...

TO THE EDITOR: In a recent Epub issue of the Journal of Neurophysiology, a paper (Masri et al. 2008) appeared in which the authors claim to replicate experiments, but not results, previously obtained in our laboratory (Ahissar et al. 2000; Sosnik et al. 2001). We maintain that Masri et al. 1) did not replicate our experiments, 2) probed the vibrissal system in a different parametric regime, and...
