Motivated from the bandwidth selection problem in local likelihood density estimation and from the problem of assessing a final model chosen by a certain model selection procedure, we consider estimation of the Kullback–Leibler divergence. It is known that the best bandwidth choice for the local likelihood density estimator depends on the distance between the true density and the ‘vehicle’ para...

In the paper we developed a new method to determine the absolute amount of adsorption. This method relies on the excess adsorption isotherm and the density profile in the pore of one material. To compute the density profile and decrease complex calculation of obtaining the absolute amount of adsorption we introduced Simplified Local-Density (SLD) model. A few of appropriate parameters were ...

in order to provide the data needed for the design of saffron processing equipment, physical properties of its flower were investigated. these properties included dimensions, mass, true and bulk densities, porosity, static and dynamic coefficients of friction, and terminal velocity as a function of moisture content. the average range of these properties for the three different parts of saff...

Little attention has been paid to why offenses become obsolete or obsolescent. In the context of attempts to reduce crime, it is necessary to consider reasons for past successes. This paper presents a preliminary classification of reasons for the obsolescence (legal abolition, court action, action by police and customs officials, economic and social change, and population density) of 24 offense...

Recently different regularization schemes for calculations of the vacuum energy stored in the zero-point motion of fundamental fields were discussed. We show that the contribution of the fermionic and bosonic fields to the energy of the vacuum depends on the physical realization of the vacuum state. The energy density of the homogeneous equilibrium vacuum is zero irrespective of the fermionic a...

BACKGROUND Studies of the built environment and physical activity have implicitly assumed that a substantial amount of activity occurs near home, but in fact the location is unknown. PURPOSE This study aims to examine associations between built environment variables within home and work buffers and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) occurring within these locations. METHODS Adult...
