given the sensitivity of current ground-based gravitational wave (gw) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. while with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...

background alanine aminotransferase (alt) level is the most common diagnostic test used for detection of liver damage; however in the past few years some studies have questioned the normal aminotransferase range in adults and have suggested its revision. objectives in this study, we assessed the upper limit of alt and aspartate transaminase (ast) in a healthy population of iranian children. pat...

This note presents a technique for the calculation of upper limits on Poisson processes at some desired conndence level given a certain number of observed events, an expected number of background events, and uncertainty on both the overall acceptance and the expected background. This hybrid frequentist/Bayes technique represents the standard adopted by the CDF Collaboration in presenting the re...

alfalfa and maize are important agricultural plants for animal consumption. in this survey, accumulation quantity of heavy metals (fe,zn,mn,cd,pb,ni,cr) in plants irrigated by sewage and well water were compared statistically together and with normal or standard(permeable) limits in plants or foraging, during 2005. the results were as following 1-maize: the value of accumulation in maize irriga...

Background: Monitoring serves to maintain physiologic variables within normal limits and when a parameter crosses a set threshold, an alarm is triggered. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether alarm limits are properly adjusted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) by nursing staff or not.Methods: The data concerning alarm limits corresponding to the three shifts of nursing...
