The phase-coherent oscillatory dynamics on the 11-year frequency band (Schwabe cycle) is a common feature in all characteristic observables of solar activity. In this work, a wavelet-based framework [1,2] is applied for studying the mutual phase synchronicity of these oscillations. As a problem of specific scientific interest, the variability recorded on both solar hemispheres ...

Alopecia areata (AA) is a common form of localized, non-scarring hair loss. It is characterized by the loss of hair in patches, total loss of scalp hair (alopecia totalis), or total loss of body hair (alopecia universalis). The etiopathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, but there is evidence that autoimmunity and endocrine dysfunction may be involved. The aim of this ...

In order to provide a mathematical framework for the process of making repeated measurements on continuous observables in a statistical system, the authors make a mathematical definition of an instrument, a concept which generalises that of an observable ...

Fort Gordon military installation, a U.S. Department of the Army facility, is located in east-central Georgia southwest of Augusta. The military base operates a three-phase unlined landfill?Gibson Road Landfill? to store a variety of wastes. Phases I and II stored only household wastes, and these phases were discontinued during the mid?1990s. Fort Gordon currently (1999) operates Phase III of the ...

The concepts of Bopp-Haag multiple-valued quantization and Dirac-Finkelstein-Rubinstein rubber bands are refined and abstracted in order to develop a topological theory of the connection between spin and statistics in a general framework of quantum field theory.

The author seeks to build standard scientific framework of statistical inference from the various methods dependent upon circumstantial biological assumptions. The maze of existing methods are analyzed and compared. (PSB)

Discussion between the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) and the EPA Office of Water (OW), which is charged with setting criteria in accordance with the BEACH Act of 2000, have made it clear that in-depth statistical guidance for such criteria is needed. In January 20...

The Bohmian formulation of quantum mechanics describes the measurement process in an intuitive way without a reduction postulate. Due to the chaotic motion of the hidden classical particle all statistical features of quantum mechanics during a sequence of repeated measurements can be derived in the framework of a deterministic single system theory.

This paper presents a classification of statistical models using a simple and logical framework. Some remarks are made about the historical appearance of each type of model and the practical problems that motivated them. It is argued that the current stag...

In this paper, we explore statistical language modelling for a speech-enabled MP3 player application by generating a corpus from the interpretation grammar written for the application with the Grammatical Framework (GF) (Ranta, 2004).

The purpose of the study is to provide the analytic framework and data to improve the GRI Hydrocarbon Model by making factor cost changes a statistically derived endogenous component of the model's forecast. Statistical models for estimating the cost of d...

A theoretical framework for the description of the decay of giant multipole resonances is developed. Besides the direct decay, both the pre-equilibrium and statistical (compound) decays are taken into account in a consistent way. It is shown that the stat...
