Bayesian Estimation of Probability of Contamination under Group Screening Design
(Bulletin of Mathematics and Statistics Research, 2018-07)In health area the prevalence rate p is considered to be a fraction that show positive results out of the entire sampled population when tests are done to establish infection of a disease. Tests can be done on individual ... -
Binomial Mixture Based on Generalized Four Parameter Beta Distribution as Prior
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 6/10/2018)A probability distribution can be constructed by mixing two distributions. Binomial distribution when compounded with beta distribution as prior forms a binomial mixture that is a continuous distribution. Skellam 1948, ... -
Binomial Mixtures Based on Beta I Distribution and Its Generalizations with Application to a Two Stage Group Screening Design
(Bulletin of Mathematics and Statistics Research, 2018)When mixed, two distributions can form another distribution. Binomial distribution and beta distributions combine to form a binomial mixture with the latter being a prior distribution which is a continuous distribution. ... -
Bioactive carbazole alkaloids from Alysicarpus ovalifolius (Schumach)
(The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistry, 2015-08-19)Phytochemical and biological evaluation of the stem bark of Alysicarpus ovalifolius led to the isolation of three carbazole alkaloids identified as mohanimbine (1), koenimbine (2) and koenidine (3) along with quercetin ... -
Biogenic Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles from Physalis peruviana and Application in Wound Healing
(2022-09-12)Wound management is key to healing. Poorly managed wounds lead to abnormal biological reactions and complications. Microorganisms, bacteria or fungi, infect such wounds leading to their chronic nature. Gold nanoparticles ... -
Biogenically Synthesized Silver/Gold Nanoparticles, Mechanism and their Applications: A Review
(Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences, 2022-02-28)As a result of climate change and rapid urbanization, attention increasingly turns to the management of water resources. Proper management of water resources has become a core concern for development practitioners and ... -
Canopy scale CO2 exchange and productivity of transplanted paddy and direct seeded rainfed rice production systems in S. Korea
(Elsevier, 2016)Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a primary food crop that supports more than half the world population. Paddy rice accounts for more than 75% of the total global rice production but requires large amounts of water for irrigation. ... -
Canopy transpiration and stomatal responses to prolonged drought by a dominant desert species in central Asia
(MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2017)In arid and semiarid lands, canopy transpiration and its dynamics depend largely on stomatal sensitivity to drought. In this study, the sap flow of a dominant species, Haloxylon ammodendron growing in Central Asian deserts, ... -
Carbon dioxide exchange and its regulation in the main agro-ecosystems of Haean catchment in South Korea
(Elsevier, 2015)The Asian agricultural landscape, which accounts for approximately 12.6% of the world’s agricultural land, is highly heterogeneous due to the multicultural cropping system. Information regarding CO2 exchange and carbon (C) ... -
Changes in forest soil properties in different successional stages in lower tropical China
(Plosone.org, 2013)Background: Natural forest succession often affects soil physical and chemical properties. Selected physical and chemical soil properties were studied in an old-growth forest across a forest successional series in Dinghushan ... -
Characterization of Norm-Attainable Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Archive, 7/13/2018)In this paper we characterize norm-attainable elementary operators, we show that 𝛿 𝑃,𝑄 is norm-attainable if both P and Q are norm-attainable and𝛿𝑃,𝑄 is norm-attainable 𝛿𝑃,𝑄if is normally represented. -
Characterization of the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins family and their role in drought stress tolerance in upland cotton
(2018)Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are large groups of hydrophilic proteins with major role in drought and other abiotic stresses tolerance in plants. In-depth study and characterization of LEA protein families ... -
Characterization of Topological Fuzzy Sets in Hausdorff Spaces
(TFFS Journals, 2022)In this paper, we have characterized big data fuzzy sets and shown that topological data points form singleton fuzzy sets which are closed. Besides, fuzzy sets of topological data points are compact and have at least one ... -
Choi Matrices of 2-positive Maps on Positive Semidefinite Matrices
(Asian Research Journal of Mathematics, 4/27/2020)Several investigations have been done on positive maps on their algebraic structures with more emphasis on completely positive maps. In this study we have described the structure of the Choi matrices for 2−positive maps ... -
Climbing Up the Hills: Expansion of Agriculture around the Ruma National Park, Kenya
(International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2019-04-05)A major factor driving changes in land use and land cover (LULC) is the human population growth associated with an expanded agricultural production. In the Lambwe valley in Homabay County, Kenya, the most important reason ... -
A Combination of Dividend and Jump Diffusion Process on Heston Model in Deriving Black Scholes Equation
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 12/10/2021)The reality that exists in a stock market situation is that assets do pay dividend to owners of assets or derivative securities. Dupire, Derman and Kani built an option pricing process with a dividend yielding diffusion ... -
Comparative Analysis of Sars-Cov-2 Detection Methods Using Stool, Blood, and Nasopharyngeal Swab Samples
