The Rayleigh distribution, a well-known one, is naturally applicable in life testing studies. This article indeed an attempt made to study the Weighted Distribution as model for time random variable. It discusses concept of truncated single acceptance sampling plan at pre-assigned time. With given probability levels, different numbers and values ratio specified test mean are obtained, further i...

Undergraduates commonly harbor alternate conceptions about evolutionary biology; these alternate conceptions often persist, even after intensive instruction, and may influence acceptance of evolution. We interviewed undergraduates to explore their alternate conceptions about macroevolutionary patterns and designed a 2-h lesson plan to present evidence that life has evolved. We identified three ...

Automated security is one of the major concerns of modern times. Secure and reliable authentication of a person is in great demand. A biometric trait like the electrocardiogram (ECG) of a person is unique and secure. In this paper we propose an authentication system based on ECG by using statistical features like mean and variance of ECG waves. Statistical tests like Z−test, t−test and χ2−tests...

We study a model of multilateral bargaining over social outcomes represented by points in the unit interval. An acceptance or rejection of a proposal is determined by a voting rule as represented by a collection of decisive coalitions. The focus of the paper is on the asymptotic behavior of subgame perfect equilibria in stationary strategies as the discount factor goes to one. We show that, alo...

Possible explanations for the acceptance or rejection of technological innovations have become a crucial topic in research. Depending on the type of technology, a variety of factors affect acceptance motives. This paper looks into the influence of technical-self efficacy (TSE) on acceptance of technology infrastructure. An empirical study (n=137 participants) was conducted to study effects of T...

Despite all forecasts, innovative mobile data services are not yet widespread. The aim of this research is to explain what influences customer acceptance and usage of mobile data services. For this purpose we develop a structural equation model. In order to gain a maximum of insight into the reasons for acceptance or rejection of mobile data services, we operationalise our model mainly with for...
