A situação política atual parece conciliar-se com a existência de líderes carismáticos e populistas, que aparecem dando voz várias dificuldades da sociedade. Abordaremos neste artigo o carisma populismo nas suas manifestações públicas examinaremos sua relação as personalidades psicopática esquizotípica. nossa época impõe uma abordagem integrada destas realidades, não somente para impedir voltem...

in this paper, we propose and study exp-kumaraswamy distribution. some of its properties  are derived, including the density function, hazard rate function, quantile function, moments,  skewness  and kurtosis.   adata set isused to illustrate an application of the proposed distribution. also, we obtain a new distribution by transformation onexp-kumaraswamy distribution.   new distribution is an...

 Abstract: A new method to generate various family of distributions is introduced. This method introduces a new two-parameter extension of the exponential distribution to illustrate its application. Some statistical and reliability properties of the new distribution, including explicit expressions for the moments, quantiles, mode, moment generating function, mean residual lifetime, stochas...

BACKGROUND Obesity and overweight threaten not only seafarer's health but also the safety of operations on board a ship. The aim of the study was to investigate the statistical distribution of obesity and overweight among Turkish seafarers by using the health examination reports data collected between 2009 and 2012. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data on weight, height and age obtained from 143,34...

Probabilistic structural design is beset with a credibility problem. Uncertainties associated with errors in structural and aerodynamic modeling and quality of construction are not well characterized as statistical distributions. Therefore, many engineers are skeptical of the accuracy of failure probability predictions. We propose a probabilistic design optimization method, where the probabilit...

Segmentation methods for images often have cost functions which evaluate the (dis)similarity between pixels or segments. Thresholds on cost values are then used to decide whether or not to grow, join or split segments. The results for a given image critically depend on the selection of the threshold values. In remote sensing, a too low threshold will split up regions of constant ground cover an...

We show that the combination of X-ray scattering with a nanofocused beam and X-ray cross correlation analysis is an efficient way for the full structural characterization of mesocrystalline nanoparticle assemblies with a single experiment. We analyze several hundred diffraction patterns at individual sample locations, that is, individual grains, to obtain a meaningful statistical distribution o...

OBJECTIVE To determine the best statistical distribution of concentration data of major air pollutants in Shanghai. METHODS Four types of theoretic distributions (lognormal, gamma, Pearson V and extreme value) were chosen to fit daily average concentration data of PM10, SO2 and NO2 from June 1, 2000 to May 31, 2003 in Shanghai by using the maximum likelihood method. The fit results were evalu...
