This paper discusses and analyzes various models of binary correlated sources, which may be relevant in several distributed communication scenarios. These models are statistically characterized in terms of joint Probability Mass Function (PMF) and covariance. Closed-form expressions for the joint entropy of the sources are also presented. The asymptotic entropy rate for very large number of sou...

This paper deals with the classical problem of how to evaluate the joint rank statistics distributions for two independent i.i.d. samples from a common continuous distribution. It is pointed that these distributions rely on an underlying polynomial structure of negative binomial type. This property is exploited to obtain, in a systematic and unified way, various recursions, some well estabished...

An iodide ion-selective PVC membrane sensor based on copper (Π)-bis-Nphenilsalicyldenaminatocomplex as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. Theelectrode showed a good selectivity for iodide ion with respect to common inorganic anions. Thesensor exhibited a good linear response with slope of _58.6 ± 0.4 mV per decade over theconcentration range of 5.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol L-1,...

OBJECTIVE To determine prevalence of radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis in 4 diarthrodial joints of dogs with restricted feed intake, compared with dogs without restricted feed intake. DESIGN Paired feeding study. ANIMALS 48 Labrador Retrievers. PROCEDURE Dogs in litters from 7 dams and 2 sires were paired by sex and weight within litters and randomly assigned to a control-fed group ...

In this paper, we define the concepts of modified intuitionistic probabilistic metric spaces, the property (E.A.) and  the common property (E.A.) in   modified  intuitionistic probabilistic metric spaces.Then, by the commonproperty (E.A.), we prove some common fixed point theorems in modified intuitionistic Menger probabilistic metric spaces satisfying an implicit relation.

A number of measures on paths or clusters on two-dimensional lattices arising from critical statistical mechanical models are believed to exhibit some kind of conformal invariance in the scaling limit. Schramm introduced a one-parameter family of such processes, now called the (chordal) Schramm-Loewner evolution with parameter κ (SLEκ), and showed that these give the only possible limits for co...
