the problems of sequential change-point have several important applications in quality control, signal processing, and failure detection in industry and finance. we discuss a bayesian approach in the context of statistical process control: at an unknown time $tau$, the process behavior changes and the distribution of the data changes from p0 to p1. two cases are considered: (i) p0 and p1 are fu...

background ability of athletes in speed or endurance contests somehow is determined by inherited muscle fiber types. one of the important genes involved in sport genetics is actn3 that is located on chromosome 11q13-q14 and encodes α-actinin-3, which belongs to highly conserved family of α-actinin proteins. genetic analysis of α-actinin-3 gene has showed a polymorphism r577x (rs1815739), which ...

A proximo-distal gradient of reduced glutathione (GSH), a non enzymatic antioxidant was observed in the original tails of the lizard, H. leschenaultii. In the regenerating tails, a gradual increase in the level of GSH was noted with tail elongation. In the newly regenerated tails also the level of GSH remained higher in the proximal part than the corresponding distal parts.

Research shows that grocery stores reduce prices to compete with Walmart Supercenters. This study finds evidence that the competitive effects of two other big box retailers – Costco and Walmart-owned Sam's Club – are quite different. Using city-level panel grocery price data matched with a unique data set on Walmart and warehouse club locations, we find that Costco entry is associated with high...

The family name distribution in Korea is investigated in comparison with previous studies in other countries. In Korea, both the family name and its birthplace, where the ancestor of the family originated, are commonly used to distinguish one family name from the others. The family name distributions with and without the information of the regional origins are analyzed by using different data s...

in the family, women can benefit from the newest information and knowledge on various life subjects and use them to train other members of the family; they can also use the knowledge to replce new and optimal beliefs with the false ones thereby oncreasing the soci-cultural level of the family more than before. in this study, family economic efficiency including women's participation in hou...

We introduce a two-parameter family of diffusion processes (B r,s(t))t≥0, r, s > 0, on the general linear group GLN that are Brownian motions with respect to certain natural metrics on the group. At the same time, we introduce a two-parameter family of free Itô processes (br,s(t))t≥0 in a faithful, tracial W ∗-probability space, and we prove that the full process (B r,s(t))t≥0 converges to (br,...

1 . In the first and second parts of this sequence we dealt with applications of graph theory to distance distribution in certain sets in euclidean spaces, to potential theory, to estimations of the transfinite diameter [1] and to value distribution of "triangle functionals" (e.g. perimeter, area of triangles) [2] . The basic tool is provided in all these applications by the result formulated a...
