Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Antibacterial Susceptibility Patterns of the Bacteria Isolated from Patients' Blood Samples over Two PeriodsAziz Japoni, Mehdi Kalani, Abdolvahab Alborzi et al.Problem statement: Due to continuous changes in the frequencies and antibacterial susceptibility patterns of nosocomial pathogens, periodical surveillance of these fluctuations could help the clinicians to treat hospitalized patients more efficiently whenever empirical therapies need to be considered. This study was conducted to compare the prevalence of the bacteria recovered from bloodstream samples by Bactec 9240, over the two periods … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2011 · 8,158 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoundary Distributions with Respect to Chebyshev's InequalityPeter Bias, Shawn Hedman, David RoseVariables whose distributions achieve the boundary value of Chebyshev’s inequality are characterized and it is found that non-constant variables with this property are symmetric discrete with at most three values. Nevertheless, the bound of Chebyshev’s inequality remains optimal for the class of continuous variables. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,633 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNucleation and Crystal Growth Rates of Struvite in DTM Type Crystallizer with a Jet-Pump of Descending Suspension Flow in a Mixing ChamberJoanna Koralewska, Krzysztof Piotrowski, Boguslawa Wierzbowska, Andrzej MatyniaThe kinetic data concerning reaction-crystallization of struvite from diluted water solutions of Mg2+, NH4+ and PO43- ions in a continuous DTM-type liquid jet-pump crystallizer with internal circulation of suspension are presented and discussed. The measurements were performed with the assumption of minimal value of unit power of a jet-pump’s feeding stream, providing thus a minimal level of internal circulation intensity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,957 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPOWER QUALITY DIAGNOSIS IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORK USING WAVELET TRANSFORMH. H. Goh, H. L. Ting, Q. S. Chua et al.Power quality is one of the most concerns to the electric power suppliers, equipment manufacturers and the users of various electrical and electronic equipments. This paper presents the use of a continuous wavelet transform to detect and analyse voltage sags and swells. Characteristics which include duration and magnitude of the investigated signals are measured. Unlike other approaches where the detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Dec 2013 · 7,061 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Bayesian Adaptive Design for Combination of Three Drugs in Cancer Phase I Clinical TrialsMourad Tighiouart, Quanlin Li, Steven Piantadosi, Andre RogatkoWe describe a Bayesian adaptive design for early phase cancer trials of a combination of three agents. This is an extension of an earlier work by the authors by allowing all three agents to vary during the trial and by assigning different drug combinations to cohorts of three patients. The primary objective is to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 25 Aug 2016 · 8,421 accessesView PDF Cite
