Let X1,X2, . . . , be independent random variables with EXi = 0 and write Sn = ∑ n i=1 Xi and V 2 n = ∑ n i=1 X i . This paper provides an overview of current developments on the functional central limit theorems (invariance principles), absolute and relative errors in the central limit theorems, moderate and large deviation theorems and saddle-point approximations for the self-normalized sum S...

results two major themes were extracted from the analysis of the transcripts: “comprehensive caring commitment” and “patients’ medication grudge”. conclusions according to the findings, the nurses are in a unique position to care for people with ms; therefore they should be ready to provide high-quality patient care in ms patients. patients must be encouraged to study about their condition and ...

A cake is a metaphor for a heterogeneous, divisible good, such as land. A perfect division of cake is efficient (also called Pareto-optimal), envyfree, and equitable. We give an example of a cake in which it is impossible to divide it among three players such that these three properties are satisfied, however many cuts are made. It turns out that two of the three properties can be satisfied by ...

Fair Division, unlike most research on fairness in the social sciences and mathematics, is devoted solely to the analysis of constructive procedures for actually dividing things up and resolving disputes, including...

background & aim: in the survival data with long-term survivors the event has not occurred for all the patients despite long-term follow-up, so the survival time for a certain percent is censored at the  end  of the  study.  mixture  cure  model  was  introduced  by boag,  1949  for  reaching  a  more efficient analysis of this set of data. because of some disadvantages of this model non-mixtur...

BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy significantly reduces HIV viral burden and prolongs life, but does not cure HIV infection. The major scientific barrier to a cure is thought to be the persistence of the virus in cellular and/or anatomical reservoirs. DISCUSSION Most efforts to date, including pharmaco, immuno or gene therapy, have failed to cure patients, with the notable exception of a stem...

With an ever broadening use of composite materials manufacturers are in high demand of 1 efficient curing cycles to reduce costs and speed up production cycles. One method to to archive this 2 goal is active cure monitoring to determine the exact time of curing needed. This article provides a 3 novel method to measure the cure inside of closed tools by using ultrasonic spectroscopy. For this a ...
