When any earthquake occurs, the possibility that it might be a foreshock increases the probability that a larger earthquake will occur nearby within the next few days. Clearly, the probability of a very large earthquake ought to be higher if the candidate foreshock were on or near a fault capable of producing that very large mainshock, especially if the fault is towards the end of its seismic c...

One of the key problems in non-parametric data analysis is to create a good model of a generating probability distribution, assuming we are given as data a finite sample from that distribution. Obviously this problem is ill-posed for continuous distributions: with finite data, there is no way to distinguish between (or exclude) distributions that are not restricted to be smooth. The question th...

Based on recent studies by Guy Jumarie [1] which defines probability density of fractional order and fractional moments by using fractional calculus (fractional derivatives and fractional integration), this study expands the concept of probability density of fractional order by defining the fractional probability measure, which leads to a fractional probability theory parallel to the classical ...

the stochastic outcomes and phenomenon of climate are the reason to use probability sciences in climatology. interactions of most of climatic phenomenon as well as justify them are very acceptable based on probability technique. accordingly it is useful in environmental management and planning. a conditional probability is the probability of an event given that another event has occurred e.g. l...

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of PE in patients with V/Q scans interpreted as representing a very low probability (VLP) of PE (1-3 small segmental perfusion defects with a normal chest radiograph). An analysis of the entire data set obtained during the PIOPED study was performed. Of the total of 1,359 patients in whom the presence or absence of PE was confirmed, 80 ...

Abstract The aim of this research is to present a simulation model for reducing economic damages of mechanized wheat harvesting in the weather conditions of Khuzestan province and similar areas. The simulated model is composed of three sub-models, for determining of the appropriate working hours, grain losses, and economic sub-model. In order to determine the appropriate working hours, a mathem...

the aim of this study is investigation on effect of stem end splitting and geranium essential oil on vase life on quality of cut chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum l.). this experiment arranged as factorial based on rcd with 2 factors of stem end splitting at 2 levels (with splitting and without splitting) and geranium essential oil at 6 levels (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 %), with 12 treatments...

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, at...
