Several measures have been proposed to summarize the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, including the Projected Length of the Curve (PLC) and the Area Swept out by the Curve (ASC). These indices were first proposed by Lee (Epidemiology 1996; 7:605-611) to avoid certain deficiencies of...

New Keynesian models rely heavily on two workhorse models of nominal inertia - price contracts of random duration (Calvo, 1983) and price adjustment costs (Rotemberg, 1982) - to generate a meaningful role for monetary policy. These alternative descriptions of price stickiness are often used...

In this investigation, attempts have been made to study the inhibitive effect of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) on carbon steel in 10% HCl (mass%) by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, EIS, and AFM. Results indicate that inhibition efficiency (IE) of HMTA increases with the increase in...

For a left elliptically contoured n - p random matrix Y LECn - p([mu], K, [phi]), the mth order moment E([circle times operator]mY) is obtained in terms of [mu], K, and [phi]. When K = B [circle times operator] C, LECn - p([mu], K, [phi]) is the conventional multivariate left elliptically...

Charge carriers bulk recombination instead of forming electroplex after their tunneling through a hole-blocking layer, i.e. 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), in organic electroluminescence (EL) device ITO/poly-(N-vinyl-carbazole)(PVK)/BCP/tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum...</subscript>

The equation of motion for the p-polarization field in a wurtzite GaN/AlN multilayer heterostructure is solved for the quasi-confined-optical-phonon modes based on the dielectric-continuum model and Loudon’s uniaxial crystal model. The polarization eigenvector, the dispersion relation of the...
