For cost and safety reasons, aqueous batteries are suitable for large-scale energy storage. Among all aqueous batteries, the rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising choices owing to the low equilibrium potential and high volumetric capacity of zinc. However, its development...

On the basis of defining the producers in the supply chain of agricultural products, the SWOT analysis is adopted to analyze the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities and threats of producers in the supply chain of Chinese agricultural products. The paper analyzes the advantages of producers...

The case-control study is an important design for testing association between genetic markers and a disease. The Cochran-Armitage trend test (CATT) is one of the most commonly used statistics for the analysis of case-control genetic association studies. The asymptotically optimal CATT can be...

In this article, a simple algorithm is provided to maximize a family of optimal statistics for hypothesis testing with a nuisance parameter not defined under the null hypothesis. This arises from genetic linkage and association studies and other hypothesis testing problems. It is known that the...
