In this paper, we study sequences of regressions in joint or single responses given a set of context variables, where a dependence structure of interest is captured by a regression graph. These graphs have nodes representing random variables and three types of edge. Their set of missing edges defines the independence structure of the graph provided two properties are used that are not common to...

Graph representations are used across disciplines for the analysis and visualization of relational data. Exponential random graph models allow for a general method of modelling the underlying stochastic process that has generated the observed data conditional on observer attributes of the vertices, or nodes. Recent developments in ERGMs have introduced the notions of local dependence and the ex...

Among Richard Epstein’s influential contributions to legal scholarship over the years is his writing on common-law intellectual property. In it, we see attempt meld innate logic of common law’s conceptual structure with realities modern information economy. Common-law property refers different judge-made causes action that create forms exclusive rights and privileges in intangibles, interferenc...

BACKGROUND Adhesive capsulitis is a common disabling condition, with reviews reporting up to 5.3% of the population being affected, the burden placed upon individuals and healthcare services may therefore be considered substantial. For recovering the normal extensibility of the capsule in individuals with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, passive stretching of the capsule through end-range m...

Determination of terazosin hydrochloride dihydrate (TRZ) in drug substance and tablets was studied by fluorimetric techniques. The fluorimetric methods are based on: (1) measurement of the native fluorescence of the drug in water at 750 nm after excitation at 330 nm. (2) sensitizing the native fluorescence by formation a binary complex of drug with aqueous uranyl acetate (0.1% w/v) at the same ...
