background and objectives: nowadays corn flakes are the most common form of breakfast cereals however, their vitamins are declined during the baking process. in this research, production of fortified corn flakes by lactobacillus plantarum and l. reuteri, as well as incorporation of oat and malt fiber as prebiotics have been studied. materials and methods: plackett-burman statistical design was ...

Article history: Received 20 April 2010 Received in revised form 15 July 2010 Accepted 26 July 2010 Available online 3 August 2010 Communicated by P.R. Holland Using multiphoton entangled states, we demonstrate improving spatial imaging resolution beyond the Rayleigh diffraction limit in the quantum imaging process. In particular, we examine resolution enhancement using triphoton W state and a ...

Presented at the RSS annual meeting 2010, Brighton, U.K. The work discussed here represents collaborations with many people, especially Bradley Efron, Jerome Friedman, Trevor Hastie, Holger Hoefling, Iain Johnstone, Ryan Tibshirani and Daniela Witten I would like to thank the research section of the Royal Statistical Society for inviting me to present this retrospective paper. In this paper I g...

Baseball cards exhibit anomalies that are analogous to those that have been documented in financial markets, namely, momentum, price drift in the direction of past fundamental performance, and IPO underperformance. Momentum profits are higher among active players than retired players, and among newer sets than older sets. Regarding IPO underperformance, we find newly issued rookie cards underpe...

Abstract Paired comparisons are a popular tool for questionnaires in psychological marketing research. The quality of the statistical analysis of the responses heavily depends on the design, i.e. the choice of the alternatives in the comparisons. In this paper we show that the structure of locally optimal designs changes substantially with the parameters in the underlying utility. This fact is ...

In this paper we will discuss why in some circumstances people express their intentions indirectly: the use of Indirect Speech Acts (ISA). Based in Parikh’s game of part information and Franke’s IBR model, we develop a game-theoretic model of ISA, which is divided into two categories, namely non-conventional ISA and conventional ISA. We assume that non-conventional ISA involves two types of com...

I my earlier paper (Smyth, 1975b) I combined a distributed lag or permanent income consumption function with a lagged tax function. Bradley (1976) disputes my finding that short, two-period, oscillations may result and that consequently the presence of built-in flexibility of taxation may be destabilising rather than stabilising. Bradley reaches his conclusion by limiting consideration to param...

Review by Linda Bradley, Chalmers University of Technology Researching Online Foreign Language Interaction and Exchange, edited by Melinda Dooly and Robert O’Dowd, is the third book in a series by Peter Lang on telecollaboration in education. This third edited volume maps out topical aspects of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in online exchange research in three sections: theoretical appr...

Tlie "equilibration" method introduced by Bradley to measure circulating "splanchnic blood volume" has been applied to the estimation of "pulmonary blood volume." The theoretic and practical aspects of the method are analyzed. Values for circulating "pulmonary blood volume" determined in anesthetized dogs were not significantly different from values obtained by the "mean circulation time output...
