solute transport processes are affected by soil pore water velocity distribution. pore size distribution, which can be used to infer pore water velocity distribution, can be estimated from a soil water retention curve (n). in this study, a solute breakthrough curve was simulated using soil hydraulic parameters in four different soils. to evaluate the proposed model, predictions were compared to...

The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve is a standard statistical tool to characterize the accuracy of diagnostic tests when test results are continuous. It provides a complete description of test performance and a meaningful way to compare the performances of different tests. The empirical (nonparametric) ROC curve is the most popular estimator of the ROC curve. Semiparametric estim...

abstract in this paper, the effect of foreign sector macro-variable on inflation dynamics and firms’ pricing behavior has been investigated in the context of a small open economy new keynesian phillips curve. this curve is derived and estimated for a developing oil-exporting economy suffering from dutch disease. this version of nkpc is an extension of leith and malley’s (2007) small open econom...

in the present study a new economic and rapid bacterial micro-assay for simultaneous detection and quantitative measurement of serum galactose was developed. analysis of the standard curve showed a linearity range for galactose from 2 mg/dl to 180 mg/dl with a regression equation of y = 0.013x ? 0.083; r² = 0.962. the advantage of the method is its ability to measure serum galactose quantitativ...

Receiver operating characteristic curve is a standard method for reporting performance of a system. In this paper we show how to choose the optimal operating point when we are given a receiver operating curve, the prior probabilities, and the economic gain matrix. Unlike earlier methods, we make no assumptions regarding underlying distributions.
