We implemented a spatial model for analysing PM 10 maxima across the Mexico City metropolitan area during the period 1995-2016. We assumed that these maxima follow a non-identical generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and modeled the trend by introducing multivariate smoothing spline functions into the probability GEV distribution. A flexible, three-stage hierarchical Bayesian approach w...

We describe the Millimeter wave Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array (maxima), a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the temperature anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) on angular scales of 10 to 5. maxima mapped the CMB using 16 bolometric detectors in spectral bands centered at 150 GHz, 240 GHz, and 410 GHz, with 10 resolution at all frequencies. The combined receiver ...

Vitamin C is a vital circulating antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties that are required for good health throughout the life cycle. The coronavirus disease (SARSCov-2) pandemic now being done; every doctor has suggested consuming vitamin as dietary supplement. Besides an extensive range of significances, we want to focus vit C-rich natural resources despite costly dr...

The ovipositional preferences of two squash bug species, Anasa tristis (DeGeer) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) and Anasa armigera Say (Heteroptera: Coreidae), were evaluated in paired choice tests of different species and cultivars of plants in the family Cucurbitaceae. Females of A. tristis preferred to oviposit on the cultivar from which they were reared over three other cultivars of the same specie...

Eimeria tenella and Eimeria maxima are important pathogens causing intracellular protozoa infections in laboratory avian animals and are known to affect experimental results obtained from contaminated animals. This study aimed to find a fast, sensitive, and efficient protocol for the molecular identification of E. tenella and E. maxima in experimental samples using chickens as laboratory avian ...

The block maxima method in extreme-value analysis proceeds by fitting an extreme-value distribution to a sample of block maxima extracted from an observed stretch of a time series. The method is usually validated under two simplifying assumptions: the block maxima should be distributed exactly according to an extreme-value distribution and the sample of block maxima should be independent. Both ...

In this lecture, we will discuss the maxima problem defined as follows. Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be two different points in R. We say that the former dominates the latter if x1 ≥ x2 and y1 ≥ y2 (note that the two equalities cannot hold simultaneously because these are two different points). Let P be a set of n points in R. A point p ∈ P is a maximal point of P if p is not dominated by any poin...

We derive a Berry-Esseen bound, essentially of the order of the square of the standard deviation, for the number of maxima in random samples from (0, 1)d. The bound is, although not optimal, the first of its kind for the number of maxima in dimensions higher than two. The proof uses Poisson processes and Stein’s method. We also propose a new method for computing the variance and derive an asymp...

Ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii, Cytochrome c', Cytochrome c-553 (549), Cytochrome b-558, Sulfur Metabolism Two c-type cytochromes (a high spin cytochrome c' and a low spin cytochrome c-553(549) with asymmetrical a-band) and a low spin cytochrome 6-558 from the purple sulfur bacterium Ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii were purified by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration and charact...
