Title of dissertation: ASYMPTOTIC NORMALITY IN GENERALIZED LINEAR MIXED MODELS Min Min Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor Paul J. Smith Statistics Program Department of Mathematics Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) extend the framework of Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) by including random effects into the linear predictor. This will achieve two main goals of ...

BACKGROUND Durations of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and predominant breastfeeding (PBF) from two different assessments, among the same mother-infant population, were investigated to determine the degree to which the assessments yielded overlapping results. METHODS Thirty Ugandan mother-infant pairs were followed up weekly from birth to three months of age with weekly short-time feeding reca...

In spite of the fact that the potential usefulness of bone histology in systematics has been discussed for over one and a half centuries, the presence of a phylogenetic signal in the variation of histological characters has rarely been assessed. A quantitative assessment of phylogenetic signal in bone histological characters could provide a justification for performing optimizations of these tr...

in this paper, tripled coincidence points of mappings satisfying  -contractive conditions in the framework of partially ordered gb-metric spaces are obtained. our results extend the results of aydi et al. [h. aydi, e. karapnar and w. shatanawi, tripled xed point results in generalized metric space, j. applied math., volume 2012, article id 314279, 10 pages]. moreover, some examples of the mai...

abstract. let r be a 2-torsion free ring with identity. in this paper, first we prove that any jordan left derivation (hence, any left derivation) on the full matrix ringmn(r) (n  2) is identically zero, and any generalized left derivation on this ring is a right centralizer. next, we show that if r is also a prime ring and n  1, then any jordan left derivation on the ring tn(r) of all n×n up...
