OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to investigate if drinking one standard drink per hour could keep blood alcohol concentration below the legal limit of 0.05% in Thai men and women. MATERIAL AND METHOD After overnight fast, 15 healthy Thai men and 15 healthy Thai women received 12 g of ethanol by drinking beer, rum, or carbonate mixed rum and their blood alcohol concentrations were monitored ...

This talk considers the special case of binomial data where repeated measurements are available for identical covariate patterns. Our method is based on various Bayesian approaches for estimating binary logit models. To carry out MCMC sampling with data augmentation, logit models are rewritten as random utility models (RUM) or difference RUM (dRUM). Following earlier papers (Frühwirth-Schnatter...

There is more to Cuba than fabulous cigars, 1950s cars, cheap rum, and music so infectious that even a Norwegian bachelor farmer will get up and dance to it. It also happens to be a showcase for policy transformation from industrialized agriculture to a greener, sustainable agriculture. Cuba has transformed its agriculture from a low productivity, highly subsidized, high input system to one tha...

Titanium alloy and its thin-walled structures are widely used in the aerospace field. Aiming at processing chatter difficult-to-machine problem of titanium workpieces, rotary ultrasonic milling technology (RUM) is employed to restrict machining vibration this paper. Firstly, for describing dynamic characteristics, web with low stiffness equivalent a mass-spring-damping system three degrees free...

* Special thanks are due to Huub Meijers for checking the algebra as well as the programmed version of the model.1 Introduction In this paper we present an extension of the Quasi-Putty-Putty model and the CRAPP model which were presented in van Zon (1992.D) and van Zon(1993), respectively. CRAPP stands for 'Continuous Recursive Adjustment Putty Putty' model. The latest version of the latter mod...
