Hypothesis tests for the presence of new sources of Poisson counts amidst background processes are frequently performed in high energy physics (HEP), gamma ray astronomy (GRA), and other branches of science. While there are conceptual issues already when the mean rate of background is precisely known, the issues are even more difficult when the mean background rate has non-negligible uncertaint...

Patients with glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA) possess a chimeric gene resulting from fusion of the genes encoding steroid aldosterone synthase and 11 beta-hydroxylase. In the adrenal zona fasciculata, this may lead to ectopic expression under ACTH control of aldosterone synthase activity and increased formation of cortisol C18 oxidation products. We assessed mineralocorticoid and ...

Aiming to determine the quantitative sapling characteristics that are important for nursing methods, present study was carried out on 2-year-old naked root Anatolian Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arnold. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe) saplings obtained from four different seed origins Denizli Forest Sapling Nursery Directorate. In this study, selection of these examined using multicriteria decisi...

The construction of high-speed rail lines in China has drastically improved the freight capacity conventional railways. However, due to recent national energy policy adjustments, volumes, consisting mostly coal, ore, and other minerals, have declined. As a result, corresponding changes supply demand goods transportation led gradual transformation railway market from seller’s buyer’s market. It ...

This study investigated the optimization of computer numerical control (CNC) boring operation parameters for aluminum alloy 6061T6 using the grey relational analysis (GRA) method. Nine experimental runs based on an orthogonal array of Taguchi method were performed. The surface properties of roughness average and roughness maximum as well as the roundness were selected as the quality targets. An...
