Classical estimation methods (least squares, the method of moments and maximum likelihood) work well in regular cases such as the exponential family, but outliers can have undue in1uence on these methods. We de3ne population trimmed L-moments (TL-moments) and corresponding sample TL-moments as robust generalisations of population and sample L-moments. TL-moments assign zero weight to extreme ob...

AAne moment invariants (AMIs) have been derived recently by Flusser and Suk (1992). In this paper, the AMIs are used as the features for recognition of handwritten characters independent on their size, slant and other variations. A comparison with classical moment invariants is also given.

statistical frequency analysis is the most common procedure for the analysis of flood data at a gauged location thatin first step it is needed to select a model to represent the population. among them, the central moment has been themost common and widely used, and with the using of computers, the application of the maximum likelihood hasincreased. this research was carried out in order to reco...

The charge-density distribution in 2H-chromene-2-thione (2-thiocoumarin), C(9)H(6)OS, has been determined from X-ray diffraction data measured at 90 K using a CCD detector, to a resolution of sintheta/lambda < 1.08 A(-1). A multipolar-atom density model was fitted against 6908 reflections with I > 2sigma(I) [R(F) = 0.021, wR(F) = 0.022, goodness of fit = 1.81] in order to generate the differenc...

Stark spectroscopy has been applied to a wide range of molecular systems and materials. A generally useful method for obtaining electronic and vibrational Stark spectra that does not require sophisticated equipment is described. By working with frozen glasses it is possible to study nearly any molecular system, including ions and proteins. Quantitative analysis of the spectra provides informati...

the interaction of biomolecules with carbon nanotubes (cnts) has generated a great deal ofinterest in the past few years. the interaction between b-form single-strand dna (ssdna) andsingle-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) is a subject of intense current interest; however thereare a relatively small number of papers in the literature dealing with interaction of dna andswcnts. in this work we inv...

We calculate the magnetic dipole moment of newly observed charged hidden-charmed open strange $$ Z_{cs}(3985)^- state, recently by BESIII Collaboration. Based on information provided experiment and theoretical studies followed observation, we assign quantum numbers J^{P} = 1^{+}$$ quark composition c {{\bar{c}}} s{{\bar{u}}} to this state estimate resonance in both compact diquark–antidiquark m...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR) has been the focus of intense research, as ligands for this receptor have emerged as potent insulin sensitizers used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A series of benzoyl 2-methyl indoles was subjected to quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) analysis. The studies showed that the electronic properties, ener...

Energy-resolved studies of positron-molecule collisions exhibit vibrational Feshbach resonances in annihilation, thus providing evidence that positrons can bind to these species. The downshifts of the observed resonances from the positions of the vibrational modes provides a measure of the positron-molecule binding energies, which range from 1 to 300 meV. Reported here are annihilation spectra ...
