This paper proposes some estimators for the population mean using the ratio estimators presented in [C. Kadilar, H. Cingi, Ratio estimators in simple random sampling, Applied Mathematics and Computation 151 (2004) 893–902] and shows that all proposed estimators are always more efficient than the ratio estimators. This result is also supported by a numerical example. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rig...

Ni-C/Ti are suitable for the components of neutron supermirrors with high reflectivity because their excellent optical constant and smoother interfaces compared to Ni/Ti. In this paper, investigate mechanism C doping interface, crystallization, composition a multilayer variable Ni-C thickness, four multilayers were prepared by direct current magnetron sputtering, in which thickness layers was 1...

XPS depth profiles were used to investigate the effects of rapid thermal annealing under varying conditions on the structural, magnetic and optical properties of Ni-doped ZnO thin films. Oxidization of metallic Ni from its metallic state to two-valence oxidation state occurred in the film annealed in air at 600 C, while reduction of Ni2þ from its two-valence oxidation state to metallic state oc...

The asymmetric unit of the salt, (C(12)H(11)ClN)(2)[Ni(C(2)N(2)S(3))(2)], comprises one cation and a half of Ni(tdas)(2) (tdas = 1,2,5-thia-diazole-3,4-dithiol-ate) anion. The Ni(II) atom is located at a centre of inversion. The Ni(II) atom has a square-planar coordination with Ni-S distances of 2.2052 (4) and 2.1970 (5) Å. In crystal, weak C-H⋯S and C-H⋯Ni contacts are observed between the ani...

Effects of ultra high magnetic field of both pulse and steady types on martensitic transformation have been studied, using Fe-Ni-Mn, Fe-Ni-Mn-C alloys with the supplemental tests on Fe-Ni-C and Fe-NiCo-Ti alloys. It is found that the martensitic transformation is induced at room temperature not only athermally but also isothermally either by pulse magnetic field or by steady magnetic field for ...

Let n = (n1, . . . , nr). The quotient space Pn := Sn1× · · ·×Snr/(x ∼ −x) is what we call a projective product space. We determine the integral cohomology ring H∗(Pn) and the action of the Steenrod algebra on H∗(Pn;Z2). We give a splitting of ΣPn in terms of stunted real projective spaces, and determine when Si is a product factor of Pn. We relate the immersion dimension and span of Pn to the ...
