We present a method for quantifying the accuracy of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) fitting models. As a test system, we consider the structure of bare Au147 nanoparticles as well as particles bound with thiol ligands, which are used to systematically vary disorder in the atomic structure of the nanoparticles. The accuracy of the fitting model is determined by comparing two dis...

To better understand how to interpret birth-and-death (BD) processes fit to service system data, we investigate the consequences of fitting a BD process to a multi-server queue with a periodic time-varying arrival rate function. We study how this fitted BD process is related to the original queue-length process. If a BD process is fit to a segment of the sample path of the queue-length process,...

Examples of Fitting classes generated by certain periodic infinite groups are presented in this paper. The groups in question are finite extensions of direct products of quasi-cyclic (Priifer) groups and are, in particular, Cernikov groups. The methods applied follow closely those used for constructing Fitting classes of finite groups, especially in the case of nilpotent length three. 1991 Math...

Silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays were produced by electroless method on polycrystalline Si substrate, in HF/ AgNO3 solution. Although the monocrystalline silicon wafer is commonly utilized as a perfect substrate, polycrystalline silicon as a low cost substrate was used in this work for photovoltaic applications. In order to study the influence of etching time (which affects the SiNWs length) on d...

Survival analysis is applied to records for length of productive life of Angus cows, fitting several proportional hazards models. It is shown that a piece-wise Weibull model with a time-dependent stage effect can model the distinct annual culling pattern reasonably well. Analyses fitting a sire model suggest some genetic variability, with heritability estimates on the logarithmic scale ranging ...

We demonstrate a single-mode Brillouin fiber ring laser, which is passively stabilized at pump resonance frequency by using self-injection locking of semiconductor pump laser. Resonance condition for Stokes radiation is achieved by length fitting of Brillouin laser cavity. The laser generate singlefrequency Stokes wave with linewidth less than 0.5 kHz using approximately 17-m length cavity.

erosion is one of the important factors in soil degradation and decrease fertility and slope length is one of the most effective factors in land form and amount of erosion. the objective of this study was investigation of spatially variation of sediment concentration in slope length until to receive transport capacity. to obtain this goal a hill slope simulator system designed and manufactured....

In this paper‎, ‎we give a complete proof of Theorem 4.1(ii) and a new‎ ‎elementary proof of Theorem 4.1(i) in [Li and Shen‎, ‎On the‎ ‎intersection of the normalizers of the derived subgroups of all‎ ‎subgroups of a finite group‎, ‎ J‎. ‎Algebra, ‎323  (2010) 1349--1357]‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎we also give a generalization of Baer's Theorem‎.

The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic and phenotypic parameters for some reproductive traits of Black Bengal does. Genetic parameters were estimated by Residual Maximum Likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects. The least-squares means of litter size at birth (LSB), litter size at weaning (LSW), litter weight at birt...
