Detecting a transient signal of unknown arrival time in noise is actually a binary hypothesis test problem, where the null hypothesis (noise only) is a simple one, while the alternative hypothesis is composite. The generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is a common tool to solve such problems. In this paper we show how order statistics (OS) approach can be used to solve the same problem. We s...

techniques such as SEM, TGA, XRD, friction and wear tests are used to characterize the formulations as well as the commercial material. Out of the 30 formulations made, two formulations viz., S1 and S2 closer to commercial material are presented in this work. Formulation S2 exhibits better thermal stability and better wear resistance. With the help of SEM analysis, physical properties and XRD s...

in order to comprise the effects of sodium bicarbonate supplementation on anaerobic performance and some plasma metabolites, 16 young male athletes (age 20.58?3.25, height 175.33?2.48 cm and bmi 21.57? 2.68 kg/m2) participated in two 400 m running sessions one hour following sodium bicarbonate or placebo (calcium bicarbonate) supplementation with the counterbalanced order. there were three bloo...
