  • This article coined a general class of estimators for various measures in normal population when some' a priori' or guessed value of standard deviation a is available in addition to sample information. The class of estimators is primarily defined for a function of standard deviation. An unbiased estimator and the minimum mean squared error estimator are worked out and the suggested class of estimators is compared with these classical estimators. Numerical computations in terms of percent relative efficiency and absolute relative bias established the merits of the proposed class of estimators especially for small samples. Simulation study confirms the excellence of the proposed class of estimators. The beauty of this article lies in estimation of various measures like standard deviation, variance, Fisher information, precision of sample mean, process capability index $C_{p}$, fourth moment about mean, mean deviation about mean etc. as particular cases of the proposed class of estimators.

  • The standing crop and net production were estimated in Moojaechi on Mt. Jungjok. By using the decay model of organic carbon, absolute year of bog peat was calculated. Pollen analysis to bog peat revealed vegetational history and climate change around Moojaechi. The time required for amount of the accumulated peat in the bog was estimated in terms of the balance of the accumulation and decay of organic carbon of the deposit peat. Absolute year of the peat surveyed in this study was about 314 years. Pollen of Pinus was predominant in all the pollen zone, Geamineae and Cyperaceae increased in lower pollen zone while Pinus in upper pollen zone. This showes that climate of the past was probably more humid than that of present. In addition, middle pollen zone showed warming trend which is suggested by high pollen concentration of Quercus, Juglans, Carpinus and Corylus. It suggests that overall environment and vegetation were changed from warmer and more humid to dry condition in Moojaechi and it is considered as the course of boggy ground formation by retrogressive successions.

  • A back propagation artificial neural network model with one hidden layer is established to correlate the liquid-liquid equilibrium data of hydrocarbon-water systems. The model has four inputs and two outputs. The network is systematically trained with 48 data points in the range of 283.15 to 405.37K. Statistical analyses show that the optimised neural network model can yield excellent agreement with experimental data(the average absolute deviations equal to 0.037% and 0.0012% for the correlated mole fractions of hydrocarbon in two coexisting liquid phases respectively). The comparison in terms of average absolute deviation between the correlated mole fractions for each binary system and literature results indicates that the artificial neural network model gives far better results. This study also shows that artificial neural network model could be developed for the phase equilibria for a family of hydrocarbon-water binaries.

  • In order to analyze the effect of the cyclic lateral loading on the response of a pile-soil system, a full-scale single steel pile was subjected to one-way cyclic loading. The test pile was driven into a bi-layered soil consisting of a normally consolidated saturated clay overlying a silty sandy layer, the site being submerged by water up to one meter above the mudline in order to reproduce the conditions of an offshore pile foundation. The aim of this paper is to present the main results of interpretation of the cyclic lateral tests in terms of pile deflections, bending moment, and cyclic P-Y curves. From these latter an absolute secant reaction modulus EAS,N was derived and a simple calculation model of the test single pile is proposed based on this modulus. Two applications of the proposed model are carried out, one with a 2D finite element modelling, and the second with a load transfer curves-based method.

  • Dietary data of 538 middle school students have been analysed to identify the contribution of specific foods to absolute intake and between-person-variance in nutrient consumption. The 24-hour-dietary-recall method had been used to collect the data required. Contribution of specific foods, in terms of ranking order for both absolute intake and between-person-variance have been observed. Ranking order of food for absolute intake was given based on the percen of contribution whereas the ranking order of foods for between-person-variance was given based on the percent of contribution whereas the ranking order of foods for between-person-variance was given based on a coefficient fo variation. As a result, for most of the nutrients(except cholesterol), the ranking order of foods for the between-person-variance was quite different from that of absolute intake. The results indicate that to identify between-person-variance of nutrient intake in an epidemiology study, foods with a high ranking in between-person-variance should be included in developing the food frequency questionnaires rather than foods which showed a high ranking in absolute intake.

  • This paper concerns different forms of poetic thinking, each of which attempts to investigating truth of being on the ground of its idiosyncratic feature. The horizon evoked via these practices, however, is the Absolute where any plausibility of communication be fundamentally blocked off. Poetry, for instance, relinquishes its semantic auto-referentiality in order to be expressive of something unsayable. Poetic diction, coming-into-being, and sound with no meaning are those three expressive modes that I will examine in terms of the so-called "poetic thinking."

  • The transverse velocities of the gravitational lens system (galaxy plus a 'disturbing star') and their dependences on unkown properties of the source and the deflecting object are discussed. We have derived an analytic expression for the transverse velocity in terms of the velocities of the light source, the gravitational lensing galaxy and the 'disturbing star', and the observer. The results are then further applied to an estimate of the expectation value of the absolute transverse velocity and of the probable time scales of flux changes of the double QSO 0957+561A, B.

  • Let (M,g) be a compact m dimensional Einstein manifold with smooth boundary. Let $\Delta$$_{p}$,B be the realization of the p form valued Laplacian with a suitable boundary condition B. Let Spec($\Delta$$_{p}$,B) be the spectrum where each eigenvalue is repeated according to multiplicity. We show that certain geometric properties of the boundary may be spectrally characterized in terms of this data where we fix the Einstein constant.ant.

  • In this paper robust stability conditions are obtained for linear dynamical systems under structured nonlinear time-varying perturbations, using absolute stability theory and the concept of dissipative systems. The conditions are expressed in terms of solutions to linear matrix inequality(LMI). Based on this result, a synthesis methodology is developed for robust feedback controllers with worst-case H$_{2}$ perforrmance via convex optimization and LMI formulation.

  • A general software reliability model is developed, which includes the Jelinski-Moranda model, the Goel-Okumoto model, the Shanthikumar model and the Ross model as special cases. In each of above models estimators of the software failure rate and the number of remaining errors are presented and compared in terms of the expected absolute error loss and the expected squared error loss by a Monte Carlo simulation.
