In this article, a finite horizon, multi product and multi period economic order quantity like seasonal items is considered where demand rate is deterministic and known but variable in each period. The order quantities of items come in batch sizes and the end of the period order quantity and, consequently, demand of customers are zero. In addition, storage space is constrained and the problem...

OF THE DISSERTATION Underwater Direction-of-Arrival Finding: Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Performance Analysis by Tao Li Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering Washington University in St. Louis, May 2012 Research Advisor: Dr. Arye Nehorai In this dissertation, we consider the problems of direction-of-arrival (DOA) finding using acoustic sensor arrays in underwater scenarios, and d...

Organic farming has been identified as promoting soil quality even though tillage is used for weed suppression. Adopting zero tillage and other conservation tillage practices can enhance soil quality in cropping systems where synthetic agri-chemicals are relied on for crop nutrition and weed control. Attempts have been made to eliminate tillage completely when growing several field crops organi...

The syntheses and structures of two decametallic mixed-valent Mn supertetrahedra using 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (ampH2), two decametallic mixed-valent Mn planar discs using 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (ampH2) and 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (aepH2), and a tetradecametallic mixed-valent Mn planar disc using pentaerythritol (H4peol) are reported. The decametallic complexes displa...

We prove that random rank r ≤ 2m − 3 mixed states in bipartite quantum systems H A ⊗ H B are entangled based on algebraicgeometric separability criterion recently proved in [1]. This also means that algebraic-geometric separability criterion can be used to detect all low rank entagled mixed states outside a measure zero set. Quantum entanglement was first noted as a feature of quantum mechanics...

We present `latentcor`, an R package for correlation estimation from data with mixed variable types. Mixed variables types, including continuous, binary, ordinal, zero-inflated, or truncated are routinely collected in many areas of science. Accurate correlations among such is often the first critical step statistical analysis workflows. Pearson as default choice not well suited types underlying...

BACKGROUND Edoxaban is an orally active, direct factor Xa inhibitor indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. OBJECTIVES This study assessed the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of the edoxaban 60-mg tablet crushed and administered via a nasogastric tube in a water suspension or o...
