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...

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...

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...

a one-sided ideal of a ring has the insertion of factors property (or simply, ifp) if implies r for . we say a one-sided ideal of has the weakly ifp if for each , implies , for some non-negative integer . we give some examples of ideals which have the weakly ifp but have not the ifp. connections between ideals of which have the ifp and related ideals of some ring extensions are also shown.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare condition. The reported incidence of intrathoracic renal ectopia due to CDH is also rare. A right-sided thoracic kidney is much less common due to the location of the liver. Isolated intrathoracic kidney is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on chest imaging. The authors report on a 21days old female infant with late-presenting right ...
