A total of 26 554 Egyptians was ascertained to study the incidence of consanguineous marriages. They were of different ages, different socioeconomic standards, and from different areas. There were 7646 from urban areas, 11 280 from suburban areas, and 7628 from rural areas. The incidence of consanguineous matings in the general population was found to be 28.96% with an average inbreeding coeffi...

In this paper the Weibull fading channel model is described and some integral characteristics of Weibull distribution are analyzed. For analytical and numerical evaluation of system performance, the Weibull probability density functions (pdf) are analyzed like particular solutions of corresponding differential equation, while the existence of singular solution is considered and analyzed under d...

Tracking is the main factor which limits the safe working electric stress of insulation in power system applications. Polymer samples have been tested in laboratory conditions according to ASTM D2303 on accelerated inclined plane tracking test. In this paper, a model based on improved Weibull statistics is proposed for estimating the breakdown time of polymeric insulating materials with borax. ...

In the present study wind power density of the Penjwen region have been statistically analyzed during the period from January 2001 to December 2003 based on the monthly measured mean wind speed data. The annual and monthly wind speeds and wind density are estimated. The Weibull and Ralyeigh distribution functions have been derived from the available data and both Weibull and Rayleigh probabilit...

A five-parameter distribution called Beta Generalized Weibull (BGW) distribution is introduced. Beta Generalized Exponential (BGE), Beta Weibull (BW), Generalized or Exponentiated Weibull (GW or EW), Generalized Rayleigh (GR), Beta Exponential (BE), Generalized Exponential (GE), Weibull, Rayleigh and Exponential are its sub models. The cumulative distribution function (cdf) and the probability ...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated and compared Weibull parameters of resin bond strength values using six different general-purpose statistical software packages for two-parameter Weibull distribution. METHODS Two-hundred human teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=50), prepared and bonded on dentin according to the manufacturers' instructions using the following resin cements: (i) Vario...

Balancing selection has been shown to act on several genes in short-term evolutionary contexts, but it is not known whether this force is responsible for maintaining a significant number of long-term polymorphisms. We aligned 7628 chimpanzee virtual transcripts and 5524 chimp ESTs to the 4x chimp draft genome assembly and identified polymorphisms in chimpanzee that also occurred in the human si...
