Marketers have recently begun to embrace complex experimental designs for marketing and advertising testing. Full-factorial, fractional-factorial and Plackett–Burman designs have given marketers new statistical tools to increase the speed, power, and profitability of their testing programs. This case study shows how well constructed and managed experimental designs offer marketing professionals...

Maung Than Dyine, a Burman, age 31, was brought to hospital about mid-day ou 13th March 1911, with a stab wound of the abdomen and one in the chest. Both wounds were about 1 inch in length. The abdominal wound was below and to the left of the umbilicus, and the thoracic wound was in the ninth interspace 011 the left side?just in front of the posterior axillary line.

Abstract. We extend the results on minimal stabilization of Burman and Stamm [J. Sci. Comp., 33 (2007), pp. 183-208] to the case of the local discontinuous Galerkin methods on mixed form. The penalization term on the faces is relaxed to act only on a part of the polynomial spectrum. Stability in the form of a discrete inf-sup condition is proved and optimal convergence follows. Some numerical e...

The objective of the present analysis is to present linguistic constraints on the phonetic realisation of lexical tone which are relevant for the choice of a speech synthesis development strategy for a specific type of tone language. The selected case is Thadou (Tibeto-Burman), which has lexical and morphosyntactic tone as well as phonetic tone displacement. The last two constraint types differ...
