OBJECTIVE We evaluated the morphological and parametric characteristics of the periodontal microcirculation in patients diagnosed as having hypercholesterolemia and high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). METHODS Forty patients were recruited, 20 of whom were affected by hypercholesterolemia and 20 of whom were considered healthy. A videocapillaroscopic examination was carried out on th...

Xie and Priebe [2002. “Generalizing the Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon Statistic”. J. Nonparametric Statist. 12, 661–682] introduced the class of weighted generalized Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon (WGMWW) statistics which contained as special cases the classical Mann–Whitney test statistic and many other nonparametric distribution-free test statistics commonly used for the two-sample testing problem. The two-sa...

BACKGROUND It has generally been argued that parametric statistics should not be applied to data with non-normal distributions. Empirical research has demonstrated that Mann-Whitney generally has greater power than the t-test unless data are sampled from the normal. In the case of randomized trials, we are typically interested in how an endpoint, such as blood pressure or pain, changes followin...

Two-loop Gell-Mann–Low function of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives. Abstract Two-loop Gell-Mann–Low function is calculated for N=1 supersymmetric Yang– Mills theory, regularized by higher covariant derivatives. The integrals, which define it, are shown to be reduced to total derivatives and can be easily calculated analytically .

Design, trademark and patent are the intellectual properties that influence each other and become the core assets and ultimate commercial weapons of the companies. In this study, we researched the designs, trademarks and patents of Nike in depth. The secret of Nike brands are built up on the high technology. Nike also had very successful brands in the apparel and footwear industry. In 2006, Int...

This study was carried out to analyse the trend analysis of long-term annual and seasonal rainfall pattern in Telangana state, India. For this monthly data state from January 1982 December 2021 collected NASA power website (https://power.Iarc.nasa.gov). The linear regression line non-parametric tests, such as Mann-Kendall test, Modified-Mann Kendall test Innovative were used understand present ...

drought is one of the natural phenomena which occurs in all climates in different parts of the world. iran is located in the dry belt of the world. the increase of desertification, drought reoccurrence, and destruction by human in this geographical region needs more studies on spatial and temporal trend of rainfall. in this study, trends of climatic drought during 1975-76/ 2004-05 in seasonal a...
