Abstract. We prove several results on the distribution of values of L-functions at the edge of the critical strip, by constructing and studying a large class of random Euler products. Among new applications, we provide a precise estimate for the distribution of the values at s = 1 of the family of k-th symmetric power L-functions of primitive cusp forms of weight 2 in the level aspect (assuming...

in a subclass of the scale-parameter exponential family, we consider the sequential pointestimation of a function of the scale parameter under the loss function given as the sum of the weightedsquared error loss and a linear cost. for a fully sequential sampling scheme, second order expansions areobtained for the expected sample size as well as for the regret of the procedure. the former resear...

nowadays it is believed that social capital has influential role both in decreasing expenses of activities and people's success in attaining their aims. social capital is one of the theories that explain social pathology by combining criminology theories with micro and macro level discussions about social structures and networks. this study empirically investigates the relationship between...

Estimation of measures of familial aggregation is considered the first step in establishing whether a specified disease has a genetic component. Population based family study designs areusually used to estimate correlations among siblings. When the trait of interest is quantitative (e.g. blood pressure, body mass index, blood glucose level) testing the effect of gender differences on sib-sib co...

Ballooning spiders were captured during a full growing season over agricultural habitats i n Missouri, USA, and one week in New South Wales, Australia, using sticky traps in Missouri and to w nets in Australia. More than 2,000 spiders in Missouri and more than 800 spiders in Australia were identified to family and estimates made of their live masses . Both aeronaut faunas are dominated by the f...

Chez une fillette de 8 ans, la decouverte d'une hyper-bilirubinemie indirecte, sans atteinte hepati­que, sans signe d'hemolyse. a conduit a une enquete farniliale.  Dans la famille paternelle, ii n 'existait aucun cas d'ictere, et le [aux de la bilirubinemie etait nJr­mal chez le pere et chez le grand-pere.  La bilirubinemie indirecte de la mere montrait une legere augmentation, celle d'un on...
