conclusions small-group education in patients undergoing hemodialysis leads to a decrease in interdialytic weight gain, and systolic blood pressure, but has no effect on diastolic blood pressure. results the mean, and standard deviation of interdialytic weight gain of participants was 3.64 ± 0.88 kg, before the education, and significantly decreased to 1.34 ± 0.61 kg, and 1.71 ± 0.72 kg one wee...

in this research, the daily precipitation data of 1437 synoptic, climatic and rain gauging stations of iran in the time interval 1961- 2004 (equal to 15705 days) was utilized. using kriging geostatistics method, the data were interpolated on the pixels of 15 *15km2, so as an array to the dimension of 15705 * 7187 was formed. to identify the fittest distribution of the days with over 5.0mm preci...

The asymptotic relative efficiency of the mean deviation with respect to the standard deviation is 88% at the normal distribution. In his seminal 1960 paper A survey of sampling from contaminated distributions, J. W. Tukey points out that, if the normal distribution is contaminated by a small -fraction of a normal distribution with three times the standard deviation, the mean deviation is more ...

This paper presents distance-independent diameter growth models for Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) in Kankali Community Forest, Chainpur VDC, Chitwan. As the basis for modelling, stem discs were cut 0.3 m above-ground for a sample of 80 trees that had recently been felled. Growth rings were measured along four radii and, except for the outer part of a few discs originating from old trees, indi...

In this paper, we establish a new coherent risk measure on Lp, which refer to as the monotone mean Lp-deviation measure. Then, related properties are discussed. Furthermore, from perspective of acceptance set, discuss relationship between and Sharpe ratio Finally, extend multivariate setting.
