1. INTRODUCTION. In his 1974 book entitled " The Life and Times of the Central Limit Theorem, " Adams [1] describes this theorem as " one of the most remarkable results in all of mathematics " and " a dominating personality in the world of probability and statistics. " More than three decades later, his description is not only still pertinent but has also been corroborated and reinforced by dev...

The molar conductivity data of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate, [BMIm][Sal] as an active pharmaceutical ingredient ionic liquid (API-IL) have been determined in water and aqueous solutions of amino acids, glycine and L-alanine at T= (288.15 to 318.15) K. The molar conductivity data were analyzed by low concentration Chemical Model (lcCM) and limiting molar conductivities ( ), ion associa...

Among the factors influencing dust explosion, particle size distribution (PSD) is both one of most important and complex to consider. For instance, it commonly accepted that explosion sensitivity increases when decreases. Such an assertion may be questionable for nano-objects which easily agglomerate. However, agglomerates can broken during dispersion process. Correlating parameters actual PSD ...

We study the effect of electron–electron interactions on the resonant– tunneling spectroscopy of the localized states in a barrier. Using a simple model of three localized states, we show that, due to the Coulomb interactions , a single state can give rise to two resonant peaks in the conductance as a function of gate voltage, G(V g). We also demonstrate that an additional higher–order resonanc...

This paper applies G-Econ+, an updated version of the G-Econ database by Nordhaus, to analyze the influence of climatic and geographic factors on the geographic distribution of population and economic activity. I discuss options for improved treatment of several statistical problems associated with G-Econ, which are not addressed adequately in the original G-Econ analysis. Reanalysis of key res...

Most prior research on the relationship between relative attainment and subjective wellbeing focuses income. The direction of this may, however, be positive or negative. Defining target comparison group can challenging. This study a sample where ‘relative others’ are especially salient – Olympic athletes investigates achievement using different ‘currency’ medals. While shows that bronze happier...
