Consider a one-way or two-way ANOVA design. Typically, groups are compared based on some measure of location. The paper suggests alternative methods where measures location replaced by robust effect size that is in part dispersion. used here does not assume the have common That is, it deals with heteroscedasticity. It fairly evident no single method ...

The stress created by the austenite transformation of mechanically constrained NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) significantly exceeds that required to deform (detwin) its low temperature martensitic phase. The one-way shape memory effect can therefore be used to create antagonistic, fully reversible flexural shape morphing structures by assembling opposing pairs of linear contractile SMA actuato...

The widely used approach to study the beam propagation in Kerr media is based on the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA) which is also known as the paraxial approximation. Within this approximation, the beam evolution is described by the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. In this paper, we extend the NLS equation by including higher order terms to study the effects of nonparaxiality...

A new algorithm is presented for 4tting the plaid model, a biclustering method developed for clustering gene expression data. The approach is based on speedy individual di6erences clustering and uses binary least squares to update the cluster membership parameters, making use of the binary constraints on these parameters and simplifying the other parameter updates. The performance of both algor...

This paper presents a secure destination-sequenced distance-vector (SDSDV) routing protocol for mobile ad hoc wireless networks. The proposed protocol is based on the regular DSDV protocol. Within SDSDV, each node maintains two one-way hash chains about each node in the network. Two additional fields, which we call AL (alteration) field and AC (accumulation) field, are added to each entry of th...
