In recent years, numerous approaches have been utilized for finding the exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. One such method is known as the new extended (G'/G)-expansion method and was proposed by Roshid et al. In this paper, we apply this method and achieve exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs), namely the Benjamin-Ono equation. It is est...

Extended Abstract. It is a traditional way in biological, sociological, agricultural and geological studies to partition a geographical area into quadrats and then take a sample of them by a particular sampling design. We study the relevant characteristic of quadrats to estimate a parameter of the population. We suppose that the variable of interest has a positive spatial autocorrelation. Sampl...

For all wheat classes, from the Canadian hard common wheat classes Canada Western Red break flours gave a distinctly lower aleurone fluorescence than did reducSpring, Canada Prairie Spring, Canada Western Red Winter, and Canada tion flours of comparable ...

Variable selection via penalized estimation is appealing for dimension reduction. For penalized linear regression, Efron, et al. (2004) introduced the LARS algorithm. Recently, the coordinate descent (CD) algorithm was developed by Friedman, et al. (2007) for penalized linear regression and penalized logistic regression and was shown to gain computational superiority. This paper explores...

The compound SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+ is currently one of the best-performing persistent phosphors and numerous studies have been performed to understand mechanisms involved in its afterglow process. One aspect which so far has received only limited attention dependence loading curve characteristics on dopant concentrations. Herein, a detailed study curves as function composition, sample temperature, ...

Blackburn et al. (Biodiver Conserv 20:2189–2199, 2011) claim that a reanalysis of passerine introductions to New Zealand supports the propagule pressure hypothesis. The conclusions of Blackburn et al. (2011) are invalid for three reasons: First, the historical record is so flawed that there is no sound basis for identifying the mechanisms behind extinction following introduction, or whether spe...
