Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e storage ring DORIS II, we have measured the Michel parameters , , and for ! l  decays in -pair events produced at center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using ! as spin analyzing tags, we nd e = 0:68 0:04 0:08, e = 1:12 0:20 0:09, e = 0:57 0:14 0:07, = 0:69 0:06 0:08, = 1:25 0:27 0:14 and = 0:72 0:18 0:10. In addition, we report the combine...

In the presence of nuisance parameters, we derive an explicit higher order asymptotic formula to compare the expected lengths of conndence intervals given by likelihood ratio statistics arising from the usual proole likelihood and various adjustments thereof. Highest posterior density regions, with approximate frequentist validity, are also included in the study.

For hypotheses of the type H0 : θ = θ0 vs H1 : θ 6= θ0 we demonstrate the equivalence of a Bayesian hypothesis test using a Bayes factor and the corresponding classical test, for a large class of models, which are detailed in the paper. In particular, we show that the role of the prior and critical region for the Bayes factor test is only to specify the type I error. This is their only role sin...

abstract background: the radiographic image accuracy depends on the x-ray film information visibility. good visibility is found by good contrast. radiation exposure parameters (kvp, mas) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. in dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. no optimized exposure time and processing conditions ma...

background: shell is one of the most important by-products of shrimp processing methods which can potentially pollute the environment, whereas shrimp shell contain large amounts of chitin and chitosan and can be used as immune and growth stimulator in aquaculture. objectives: the purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of chitosan extracted from litopenaeus...
