A k-hypertournament is a complete k-hypergraph with each k-edge endowed with an orientation, that is, a linear arrangement of the vertices contained in the edge. In a k-hypertournament, the score si (losing score ri) of a vertex vi is the number of arcs containing vi in which vi is not the last element (in which vi is the last element). The total score of vi is defined as ti = si − ri. In this ...

drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. the objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. for bacterial enumeration...

SEMI-MARKOV DECISION INCLUDING AN UNKNOWN Masami Kurano Chiba University PROCESSES PARAMETER (Received February 27, 1984: Revised May 8,1985) We consider the problem of minimizing the long-run average (expected) cost per unit time in a semiMarkov decision process including an unknown parameter. In the case of general state and action spaces and compact parameter space we construct the adaptive ...

— The Economics of Happiness is one of the research areas of greatest growth in recent years. Throughout this work, a venture based model in which satisfaction of Spanish entrepreneurs with their professional life is performed. We analyze the responses of 9,989 entrepreneurs using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), and six hypothesis are discussed. The results show that, for t...

We consider maximum likelihood estimation of finite mixture of uniform distributions. We prove that maximum likelihood estimator is strongly consistent, if the scale parameters of the component uniform distributions are restricted from below by exp(−nd), 0 < d < 1, where n is the sample size.

We consider the transitive linear maps on the operator algebra $B(X)$for a separable Banach space $X$. We show if a bounded linear map is norm transitive on $B(X)$,then it must be hypercyclic with strong operator topology. Also we provide a SOT-transitivelinear map without being hypercyclic in the strong operator topology.
