Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdaptive Superiority and Noninferiority Trial Design with Paired Binary DataMark Chang, Jing WangNon-inferiority of a diagnostic test to the standard is a common issue in medical research. For instance, we may be interested in determining if a new diagnostic test is noninferior to the standard reference test because the new test might be inexpensive to the extent that some small inferior margin in sensitivity or specificity may be acceptable. Noninferiority trials are … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2015 · 8,239 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleON SELF-INVERSE BINARY MATRICES OVER THE BINARY GALOIS FIELDAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Fares Ahmad Muhammad GhalebAn important class of square binary matrices over the simplest finite or Galois Field GF(2) is the class of involutory or Self-Inverse (SI) matrices. These matrices are of significant utility in prominent engineering applications such as the study of the Preparata Transformation or the analysis of synchronous Boolean Networks. Therefore, it is essential to devise appropriate methods, not only for … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Bidispersed Model System and Binary System for FerrofluidsJian Li, Decai LiFerrofluids, dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles, are typical dipolar fluids whose behaviors can be modified using an external magnetic field. Such magnetically controlled effects result from interactions between the magnetic particles, which are enhanced by an applied magnetic field. Since the system of particles always possesses a size distribution, real ferrofluids represent a polydispersed system. A theoretical model of a bidispersed … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2013 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite

Chen, Roger Thilmony, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: Crop genetic engineering requires the use of various promoters to control the expression of introduced transgenes. Some of the binary vectors currently available for promoter characterization in dicotyledonous plants have pitfalls due to their construction, such as containing a selectable marker cassette with enhancer sequences that can potentially interfere with the expression specificity of nearby promoters. Also, many … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
