Continued legislative pressure to reduce exhaust emissions from CI (compression ignition) has resulted in the development of advanced fuel injection equipment. This advanced injection system produces higher temperatures and pressures at the injector tip, where deposit formation is initiated. In this research, an endurance test was carried out for 250 h on 2 fuel samples; DF (diesel fuel) as bas...

Detecting the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to reduce infant night-waking requires valid sleep measures. Although viewed as an objective measure, actigraphy has overestimated night-waking. Sleep diaries are criticized for only documenting night-waking with infant crying. To support potential outcome measure validity, we examined differences between sleep diaries and actigraphy in de...

The ability of pharmacy technicians to obtain medication histories, relative to that of pharmacists, has not been formally assessed. OBJECTIVES To determine whether pharmacy technicians at the authors' institution could ob...

sts15 Tests for stationarity of a time series Christopher F. Baum, Boston College, [email protected] Abstract: Implements the Elliott–Rothenberg–Stock (1996) DF-GLS test and the Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (1992) KPSS tests for stationarity of a time series. The DF-GLS test is an improved version of the augmented Dickey–Fuller test. The KPSS test has a null hypothesis of stationarity and may be...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic accuracy of a new chair-side test, determination of lactic-acid production on the tongue, for caries-risk assessment according to caries increment within two years. METHODS 35 children (6-8 years old) participated in the study. The past caries experience (df-t1, DF-T1), caries at second deciduous molars (df-2.mol), approximal plaqu...
