We consider possible indications of Very-Short-BaseLine (VSBL) electron neutrino disappearance into sterile neutrinos in MiniBooNE neutrino data and Gallium radioactive source experiments. We discuss the compatibility of such a disappearance with reactor and MiniBooNE antineutrino data. We find a tension between neutrino and antineutrino data which could be due to: 1) statistical fluctuations; ...

The objective of this paper is to present a brief introduction to the doctoral thesis of the author. The content of the thesis identifies the critical success factors for obtaining business intelligence success, measured as use, user satisfaction, net benefits and individual impact from an end user’s perspective in the public sector. The author explores the options regarding how to combine task...

In this paper, we propose a theory of task/technology fit for mobile applications to support organizational processes (tasks). We adapt the concept of task/technology fit developed by Zigurs and Buckland (1998) and Goodhue and Thompson (1995), to account for the fact that mobile applications, as a type of IT infrastructure, potentially cover a wider area of tasks than the specific applications ...

A three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship study using the k-nearest neighbor analysis method was performed on a series of -polyfluoroalkyl and 2-Nitrobenzylsulphanyl benzimidazoles for their Antimycobacterial, activity. This study was performed using 28 compounds, for which k-nearest neighbor analysis models were developed using a training set of 22 compounds. Database al...

Often times we have some data and want to test if a particular statistical model (or model class) is a good fit. For instance, it is common to make normality assumptions about certain kinds of data for simplicity. Nevertheless one must check if these assumptions are reasonable. In Goodness-of-Fit (GoF) testing we strive to check the compatibility of the data with a fixed single model (simple Go...

OBJECTIVE To define the anthropometric profile of the knee in a Brazilian population with gonarthrosis using intraoperative measurements; and to evaluate the compatibility of three implants available for total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Morphometric data were collected prospectively from 117 subjects with gonarthrosis. Six dimensions in the distal femur and two in the proximal tibia were docu...
