Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a statistical method for data collection that leads to more efficient estimators than competitors based on Simple Random Sampling (SRS). We consider testing the correlation coefficient of bivariate normal distribution based on Bivariate RSS (BVRSS). Under one-sided and two-sided alternatives, we show that the new tests based on BVRSS are more powerful than the usua...

it is well know that any three impedances or admittances connected into each other in a star form can be easily transformed to a new three impedances or admittances connected into each other in a mesh form. in this paper a generalization of this fact is established and it is shown that in an n + 1 node network which is connected in a form it is always possible to eliminate the center node and o...

A 61-year-old man was evaluated for hypotension and bradycardia after undergoing a left pleural pericar-dial pneumonectomy via a left thoracotomy for malignant mesothelioma. Past history was significant for coronary disease status after drug-eluting stent to the midleft anterior descending coronary artery 1 year before, hyperlip-idemia, 25 pack-year smoking history, and malignant mesothelioma s...

Asterixis, firstly described in metabolic encephalopathies, may occur unilaterally in patients with various focal brain diseases. Although hardly localizing, most reported cases have showed a contralateral thalamic pathology; but Lesions in the medial frontal lobe, parietal lobe, brain stem, basal ganglia, insular lesions, may also cause unilateral asterixis. In this article, three cases of acu...

In this paper, a three dimensional analysis of arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral nanocomposite plates are investigated. The governing equations are based on three-dimensional elasticity theory which can be used for both thin and thick nanocomposite plates. Although the equations can support all the arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral plates but as a special case, the numerical results f...

In current study, The Mesh-free method based on weak-form formulation coupled with the ultrasound imaging technique is developed. This problem consists in computing the deformation of an elastic non-homogenous phantom by numerical methods (both Mesh-free and Finite Element) and converge their results to the measured deformation by the ultrasound. The shape functions of Mesh-free are approximate...

Ideal Connes-amenability of dual Banach algebras was investigated in [17] by A. Minapoor, A. Bodaghi and D. Ebrahimi Bagha. They studied weak∗continuous derivations from dual Banach algebras into their weak∗-closed two- sided ideals. This work considers weak∗-continuous derivations of dual triangular Banach algebras into their weak∗-closed two- sided ideals . We investigate when weak∗continuous...

Background Recently, laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair has been considered one of the most effective and widely performed techniques for repairing hernias by avoiding entry into peritoneal cavity. Its indications have evolved expanded to almost encompass entire range groin hernias. This retrospective study aims determine outcomes postoperative complications in pa...
