an estimation problem of the mean µ of an inverse gaussian distribution ig(µ, c µ) with known coefficient of variation c is treated as a decision problem with entropy loss function. a class of bayes estimators is constructed, and shown to include mrse estimator as its closure. two important members of this class can easily be computed using continued fractions

background assessment of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) by common creatinine-based methods is potentially inaccurate in patients with cirrhosis. cirrhotic patients have several underlying conditions that contribute to falsely low serum creatinine concentrations, even in the presence of moderate to severe renal impairment. therefore creatinine-based methods usually overestimate true gfr in the...

In this paper, we discuss and extend some recent common fixed point results established by using $varphi-$weakly contractive mappings. A very important step in the development of the fixed point theory was given by A.H. Ansari by the introduction of a $C-$class function. Using $C-$class functions, we generalize some known fixed point results. This type of functions is a very important class of ...

Knowing the overall solute flux and the partial fluxes expressed by every single transport layer, the membrane internal interface concentrations can separately be expressed. Both the overall transport coefcient and the driving force strongly depend, among others, on the value of the structural parameter and the water permeability. Study of the interface concentrations as ...

Optimization of continuous synthesis of high purity carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method was studied experimentally and theoretically. Iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5), acetylene (C2H...
