The replica exchange statistical temperature molecular dynamics (RESTMD) algorithm is presented, designed to alleviate an extensive increase of the number of replicas required as system size increases in the conventional temperature replica exchange method (tREM), and to obtain improved sampling in individual replicas. RESTMD optimally integrates multiple STMD (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2006, 97, 050601...

Variance and performance of two sampling plans for aflatoxins quantification in maize were evaluated. Eight lots of maize were sampled using two plans: manual, using sampling spear for kernels; and automatic, using a continuous flow to collect milled maize. Total variance and sampling, preparation, and analysis variance were determined and compared between plans through multifactor analysis of ...

We introduce the general transition-based reweighting analysis method (TRAM), a statistically optimal approach to integrate both unbiased and biased molecular dynamics simulations, such as umbrella sampling or replica exchange. TRAM estimates a multiensemble Markov model (MEMM) with full thermodynamic and kinetic information at all ensembles. The approach combines the benefits of Markov state m...

This paper questions some aspects of attribute acceptance sampling in light of the original concepts of hypothesis testing from Neyman and Pearson (NP). Attribute acceptance sampling in industry, as developed by Dodge and Romig (DR), generally follows the international standards of ISO 2859, and similarly the Brazilian standards NBR 5425 to NBR 5427 and the United States Standards ANSI/ASQC Z1....

the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of eclectic model based on acceptance and commitment therapy (act) and metacognitive therapy (mct) on symptoms in patient with pure generalized anxiety disorder. the research method was clinical experimentation with pre-posttest and control group. statistic community was all of the men and women patients that suffered from pure g...
