in this paper, we introduce the  probabilistic normed groups. among other results, we investigate the continuityof inner automorphisms of a group and the continuity of left and right shifts in probabilistic group-norm. we also study midconvex functions defined  on probabilistic normed groups and  give  some results about locally boundedness of such  functions.

In this paper, we define the concepts of modified intuitionistic probabilistic metric spaces, the property (E.A.) and  the common property (E.A.) in   modified  intuitionistic probabilistic metric spaces.Then, by the commonproperty (E.A.), we prove some common fixed point theorems in modified intuitionistic Menger probabilistic metric spaces satisfying an implicit relation.

The development and application of a geometrically-based uniformity criterion is presented for film uniformity optimization in a radial-flow GaN epitaxy reactor system. In this multi-wafer reactor system, individual wafers rotate on a rotating susceptor in a planetary motion to reduce the effects of reactant depletion on deposition uniformity; the uniformity criterion developed for this system ...

Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...

OF THE DISSERTATION Properties and solutions of a class of stochastic programming problems with probabilistic constraints by Kunikazu Yoda Dissertation Director: András Prékopa We consider two types of probabilistic constrained stochastic linear programming problems and one probability bounding problem. The first type involves a random left-hand side matrix whose rows are independent and normal...

In this paper, we evaluate the asymptotics of equivocations, their exponents as well as their second-order coding rates under various Rényi information measures. Specifically, we consider the effect of applying a hash function on a source and we quantify the level of non-uniformity and dependence of the compressed source from another correlated source when the number of copies of the sources is...

Abstract Background Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a major Public Health issue. Hospital-based prevalence studies are common tool of HAI surveillance, but data quality problems and non-representativeness can undermine their reliability. Methods This study proposes three algorithms that, given convenience sample variables relevant for the outcome study, select subsample with s...
