In this article we present a nonparametric method for constructing confidence bands for the difference of two quantile residual life (qrl) functions. These bands provide evidence for two random variables ordering with respect to the qrl order. The comparison of qrl functions is of importance, specially in the treatment of cancer when there exists a possibility of benefiting from a new secondary...

Quantile residual lifetime (QRL) is of significant interest in many clinical studies as an easily interpretable quantity compared to other summary measures of survival distributions. In cancer or other fatal diseases, treatments are often compared based on the distributions or quantiles of the residual lifetime. Thus a common problem of interest is to test the equality of the QRL between two po...

Next generation wireless systems have witnessed significant R&D attention from academia and industries to enable wide range of applications for connected environment around us. The technical design next in terms relay transmit power control is very critical due the ever-reducing size these sensor enabled systems. growing demand computation capability smart decision making further diversified si...

Recently, to reap the quantum advantage, empowering reinforcement learning (RL) with computing has attracted much attention, which is dubbed as RL (QRL). However, current QRL algorithms employ an online scheme, i.e., policy that run on a computer needs interact environment collect experiences, could be expensive and dangerous for practical applications. In this paper, we aim solve problem in of...

This study was an attempt to scrutinize the impact of the Critical Appraisal of Published Research (CAPR) in undergraduate teacher training programs on EFL teachers’ Quantitative Research Literacy (QRL). To meet this objective, 30 male and female ELT teachers were non-randomly selected and randomly assigned to two groups. In two research classes, the experimental group received the CAPR, wherea...

in order to genetic analysis of rice seed vigour, a cross was carried out between tarom mahalli (tolerant to osmotic stress) and khazar (sensitive to osmotic stress) crosses. linkage map based on ssr markers was derived using 74 polymorphic markers and 192 f2 individuals. germination rate, radicale and plumule length were recorded from 20 plants per 192 f3 families. the loci related to germinat...

Defense against pests and pathogens is a fundamental process controlled by similar molecular mechanisms in all flowering plants. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model, steps of the signal transduction pathways that link pathogen recognition to defense activation have been identified and corresponding genes have been characterized. Defense signaling (DS) genes are functional candidates for contr...

Mapping of resistance genes to Puccinia polysora in maize The objectives of this study were to identify microsatellite markers linked to resistance gene of resistance to Puccinia polysora and to estimate the phenotypic effect of these genes on two monocyclic variables lesion, number and length. Two inbreed lines with different degrees of resistance (Z-95 and Z-93), the hybrid (Z-95 X Z-93) and ...

Abstract Quantum machine learning (QML) is a young but rapidly growing field where quantum information meets learning. Here, we will introduce new QML model generalising the classical concept of reinforcement to domain, i.e. (QRL). In particular, apply this idea maze problem, an agent has learn optimal set actions in order escape from with highest success probability. To perform strategy optimi...
