The Unicorn, The Normal Curve, and Other Improbable Creatures
An investigation of the distributional characteristics of 440 large-sample achievement and psychometric measures found all to be significantly nonnormal at the alpha .01 significance level. Several classes of contamination were found, including tail weights from the uniform to the double exponential, exponential-level asymmetry, severe digit preferences, multimodalities, and modes external to t...
متن کاملPatient Dose-Area Product (DAP) Monitoring in Digital Radiography
The objective of this study was to determine the Dose Area Product (DAP) for sample of 70 patients (40 Females and 30 Males) undergoing different types of digital radiography (DR) examinations at King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia. This study was done through implementing a quality control (QC) program initiated by The Center for Training and radiation protection, KAU. It ...
متن کاملThe Busy Beaver, the Placid Platypus and other Crazy Creatures
The busy beaver is an example of a function which is not computable. It is based on a particular class of Turing machines, and is defined as the largest number of 1’s that can be printed by a terminating machine with n states. Whilst there have been various quests to determine the precise value of this function (which is known precisely only for n ≤ 4), our aim is not to determine this value pe...
متن کاملcomparison radiation dose in interventional cardiology between iran and other countries: evaluation influencing factors
methods in this article we checked the derived data from 20 relevant studies published during the last 20 years in international scientific literature at other country except iran and 10 studies from iran. the variables dose-area product (dap), fluoroscopy time, number of sequences and frames per sequence were collected for each ca, ptca, rfa and diagnostic electrophysiology and then the obtain...
متن کاملRadiation from hot bare strange stars
We present the results of numerical simulations of stationary, spherically out-flowing, e ± pair winds, with total luminosities of L = 10 35 − 10 42 ergs s −1. These results have direct relevance to the emission from hot, bare, strange stars, which are thought to be powerful sources of pairs created by the Coulomb barrier at the quark surface. The spectra of emergent photons and pairs are calcu...
