[1] The multiscaling fractional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is a multidimensional model of solute transport that encompasses linear advection, Fickian dispersion, and super-Fickian dispersion. The super-Fickian term in these equations has a fractional derivative of matrix order that describes unique plume scaling rates in different directions. The directions need not be orthogonal, so t...

The prevalence of sequencing experiments in genomics has led to an increased use of methods for count data in analyzing high-throughput genomic data to perform analyses. The importance of shrinkage methods in improving the performance of statistical methods remains. A common example is that of gene expression data, where the counts per gene are often modeled as some form of an over-dispersed Po...

Motivation One objective of human microbiome studies is to identify differentially abundant microbes across biological conditions. Previous statistical methods focus on detecting the shift in the abundance and/or prevalence of the microbes and treat the dispersion (spread of the data) as a nuisance. These methods also assume that the dispersion is the same across conditions, an assumption which...

The impact of differences in analysis–forecast systems on dispersion of an ensemble forecast is examined for a case of cyclogenesis. Changes in the dispersion properties between two 25-member ensemble forecasts with different cumulus parameterization schemes and different initial analyses are compared. The statistical significance of the changes is assessed. Error growth due to initial conditio...

Control chart is the most important Statistical Process Control tool used to monitor reliability and performance of industrial processes. For monitoring changes in process dispersion, the R and S charts are widely used. These control charts perform better under the ideal assumption of normality but are well known to be very inefficient in presence of outliers or departures from normality. In th...

today's organizations change their pay structure and pay for performance role increased in pay package. performance pay in every organizational level has been appear. many researches show that in high performance organizations, variable pay has critical role. another variable that is very important in designing compensation strategy is pay dispersion. with using hierarchical linear modelin...

the combined effect of non-newtonian rheology and irreversible boundary reaction on dispersion in a herschel-bulkley fluid through a conduit (pipe/channel) is studied by using generalized dispersion model. the study explains the development of dispersive transport following the injection of a tracer in terms of three effective transport coefficients namely exchange, convective and dispersion co...

the gold mineralization in kurdistan province of iran was classified as shear zone gold type by some of the researchers. in the current study, the geochemical samples collected from the secondary environment, stream sediments, at the sw of saqquez area were used to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the gold mineralized zones in this environment. the multi-variant statistical analys...

In this study, a novel mesoporous silica nanoparticles drug carrier contributes to improving the solubility, dissolution, and the oral bioavailability of apigenin (AP). The apigenin of solid dispersion of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AP-MSN) was prepared by physical absorption method and also, in-vitro drug release and in-vivo bioavailability performance were evaluated. Based on its solubil...

an experimental study has been made of the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain appropriate design information. in this paper several tests were done according to full factorial design of experiments with high reliability, since each test recurs seven times and the results of  them are very close to each other(p=1bar and t=25 °c). sauter diameter in each test is determined with phot...
