In this paper we prove some stochastic comparisons results for progressive type II censored order statistics. The problem of stochastically comparing concomitants of the two progressive type II censored order statistics with possibly different schemes, under different kinds of dependence between X and Y is considered and it is proved that if Y is stochastically increasing (decreasing) in X, ...

Using Banda as a case study, this paper examines the increased potential for HIV/AIDS infection as a result of the recent conflict and violence in Maluku. During a number of visits from January 1999 to April 2001, this conservative, comparatively isolated, community was studied for its knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS with professed sexual attitudes and potential risk behaviors.

Many hundreds of animals have been used for his helminthological experiments, and the number of parasites investigated was much greater. The work everywhere bears the impress of laborious, original, and accurate observation, with the natura...

There have been several reports of cardiac abnormalities in patients with the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, but it is not certain whether these anomalies are part of the syndrome or whether they represent chance concomitants (McKusick, 1966). In an investigation in Southern England, 100 patients with this syndrome have been examined. The results of this survey, from the cardiac point of view, are pre...
