Time-series Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) models were employed to model tree crown profiles for two California hardwood species (blue oak and interior live oak). There are three major components of these models: a polynomial trend, an ARMA model, and unaccounted for variation. The polynomial trend was used to achieve a stationary series. For these crown profiles, the use of a quadratic t...

OBJECTIVES The goal of resident selection is twofold: (1) select candidates who will be successful residents and eventually successful practitioners and (2) avoid selecting candidates who will be unsuccessful residents and/or eventually unsuccessful practitioners. Traditional tools used to select residents have well-known limitations. The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) is a proven adjuvant tool to...

In some statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a relationship between a response and one or more independent variables, which is typically referred to a profile. In this paper, polynomial profiles are considered to monitor processes in which there is a first-order autoregressive relation between the error terms in each profile. A remedi...

This paper presents planning of smooth trajectories using the asymmetric profiles displacement, velocity, acceleration and jerk described higher degree polynomials. The presented way determination polynomial asymmetry coefficients as well motion time includes procedure at both constraints single kinematic quantities, i.e., acceleration, introducing a few simultaneously. Moreover, method with in...

the main objective of present research work is to formulate the clopidogrel fast dissolving tablets. clopidogrel, an antiplatelet drug, belongs to bcs class-ii and used to control heart attack, hypertension by inhibiting platelet activation and aggregation .the fast dissolving tablets of clopidogrel were prepared employing different concentrations of crospovidone and croscarmellose sodium in di...

the topological index of a graph g is a numeric quantity related to g which is invariant underautomorphisms of g. the vertex pi polynomial is defined as piv (g)  euv nu (e)  nv (e).then omega polynomial (g,x) for counting qoc strips in g is defined as (g,x) =cm(g,c)xc with m(g,c) being the number of strips of length c. in this paper, a new infiniteclass of fullerenes is constructed. the ...

We provide in this paper a pair of properties that are both necessary and sufficient to characterize the domain of single-peaked preference profiles. This characterization allows for a definition of single-peaked preference profiles without using an ad-hoc unlerlying order of the alternatives and also sheds light on the structure of single-peaked profiles. Considering the larger domain of value...

We provide the first polynomial-time algorithm for recognizing if a profile of (possibly weak) preference orders is top-monotonic. Top-monotonicity is a generalization of the notions of single-peakedness and single-crossingness, defined by Barberà and Moreno. Top-monotonic profiles always have weak Condorcet winners and satisfy a variant of the median voter theorem. Our algorithm proceeds by re...
