Empirical likelihood intervals for the population mean and quantiles based on balanced ranked set samples
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2008 , Article)
We consider nonparametric interval estimation for the population mean and quantiles based on a ranked set sample. The asymptotic distributions of the empirical log likelihood ratio statistic for the mean and quantiles are ...
Overlapping Schwarz waveform relaxation method for the solution of the convection-diffusion equation
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2008 , Article)
In this article we study the convergence of the overlapping Schwarz wave form relaxation method for solving the convection-diffusion equation over multi-overlapped subdomains. It is shown that the method converges linearly ...
Competition, facilitation, and niche differentiation in two foliar pathogens
(
Springer Berlin / Heidelberg
, 2004 , Article)
We studied competition between the obligate biotroph Puccinia triticina (designated here as Puccinia) and the facultative saprophyte Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (designated here as Pyrenophora) in older and younger leaves ...

(
Springer Science + Business Media B.V.
, 2008 , Article)
Attention is being focused on the coastline from Doha to Ras Laffan in Qatar since higher activities in the development of land and establishment of roads, highways and new buildings and houses is not coupled by serious ...
Knockout mice: Is it just genetics? Effect of enriched housing on fibulin-4+/- mice
(
Public Library of Science
, 2007 , Article)
Background. Fibulin-4 is an extracellular matrix protein expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells that is essential for maintaining arterial integrity. Fibulin-4-/- mice die just before birth due to arterial hemorrhage, ...
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2004 , Article)
Powdered cerium dioxide (ceria, CeO2) as compressed, sintered pellets, of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99 g cm?3, were treated in hydrogen flow at 1 atm and various temperatures to effect reduction. The electrical conductivity ...
The Scientific Contributions of Arab Scientists to the International Research: a Study of the Indicators for Select Arab Countries
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
Using SCOPUS database, the research productivity of Arab researchers in five countries has been investigated. The analysis included subject, geographical and time range indicators. The relationship between the most published ...
The Structure of the Free Volume in Poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) from Positron Lifetime and Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) Experiments
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2004 , Article)
Summary: The structure of the free volume and its temperature dependence between 25 and 190 °C of copolymers of styrene with acrylonitrile, SAN (0 to 50 mol-% AN), is studied by pressure volume temperature (PVT) experiments ...
Man-made impact on the geochemistry of the Nile delta lakes. A study of metals concentrations in sediments
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2004 , Article)
Forty two sediment samples were collected from four River Nile northern delta lakes (Mariut, Edku, Burullus and Manzalah) to asses the man-made impact on their environment during the last 20 years. Due to the continuous ...
