Assumptions and Consequences of Treating Providers in Therapy Studies as Fixed Versus Random Effects: Reply to Crits-Christoph, Tu, and Gallop (2003) and Serlin, Wampold, and Levin (2003).

In their comments on the authors' article (see record 2003-10163-009), R. C. Serlin, B. E. Wampold, and J. R. Levin (see record 2003-10163-011) and P. Crits-Christoph, X. Tu, and R. Gallop (see record 2003-10163-010) took issue with the authors' suggestion to evaluate therapy studies with nested providers with a fixed model approach. In this rejoinder, the authors' comment on Serlin et al's critique by showing that their arguments do not apply, are based on misconceptions about the purpose and nature of statistical inference, or are based on flawed reasoning. The authors also comment on Crits-Christoph et al's critique by showing that the proposed approach is very similar to, but less inclusive than, their own suggestion.

奇异值分解压制随机噪声的方法及应用

针对随机噪声压制问题，通过对多项式确定的同相轴形状重新选取数据矩阵，再对新选取的数据矩阵进行SVD滤波，从而压制随机噪声。通过对矩阵奇异值分解的研究，揭示了奇异值分解的原理和SVD滤波原理，将一个多道地震记录看作一个图，它可分解为由一系列正交的子图，通过对子图适当选择并结合其它手段，从而达到提高信噪比的目的，为奇异值分解在地球物理中的进一步应用提供了理论依据。实际数据应用表明，该方法去噪手段灵活、保真性好、分辨率高，对一些突然的脉冲干扰、侧反射、以及其他的反向干扰有明显效果。     

小议变动成本法的合理性

企业对盈亏临界点的计算通常是以变动成本法为基础，但也有以制造成本法为计算基础的，对于这两种成本方法计算的几种盈亏临界点的情况，本文结合案例，通过比较分析认为：盈亏临界点的计算应当以变动成本法为基础更为合理。     

An efficient parallel strategy for the perfect domination problem on distance-hereditary graphs

A graph is distance-hereditary if the distance stays the same between any of two vertices in every connected induced subgraph containing both. Two well-known classes of graphs, trees and cographs, both belong to distance-hereditary graphs. In this paper, we first show that the perfect domination problem can be solved in sequential linear-time on distance-hereditary graphs. By sketching some regular property of the problem, we also show that it can be easily parallelized on distance-hereditary graphs.     

砼受压损伤力学本构模型的研究

本文利用ＭＴＳ公司８１５．０２型电液伺服试验系统对砼进行了等应变速率加载控制的应力一应变全曲线试验，应用不可逆热力学和内变量理论的成果建立了砼损伤力学模型，并用概率统计的观点分析了损伤的演化规律。由于考虑了不可逆变形的影响，本文所建本构模型与实验吻合较好。     

Optimizing a multiserver queuing system with a variable number of servers

A multiserver Poisson queuing system with losses, with a variable number of servers, and an additive quality functional is investigated. All major characteristic of the system are obtained in an explicit form. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 4, pp. 92–101, July–August 2007.     

Identification of delayed system using instrumental variable method

System identification uses system inputs and outputs to raise mathematical models.Various techniques of system identification exist that offer a nominal model and an uncertainty bound.Many practical systems such as thermal processes & chemical processes have inbuilt time delay.If the time delay used in the system model for controller design does not concur with the actual process time delay,a closed-loop system may be unstable or demonstrate unacceptable transient response characteristics so here the time delay is assumed to be time-invariant. This paper proposes on-line identification of delayed complex/uncertain systems using instrumental variable(Ⅳ) method.Parametric uncertainty has been considered which may be represented by variations of certain system parameters over some possible range.This method allows consistent estimation when the system parameters are associated with the noise terms,as the IV methods(IVM’s)usually make no assumption on the noise correlation configuration.The faster convergence of the parameters including noise terms has been proved in this paper.Iterative prefiltering(IP)method has also been used for the identification of the delayed uncertain system and the graphical results given in this paper demonstrate that the convergence results are inferior to the instrumental variable method.

Concurrent reading while writing revisited

A modification is proposed to Peterson's construction of 1-writern-reader multivalued atomic shared variableusingn+2 multivalued safe variables and some boolean atomic variables. The resulting construction is elegant and is simpler than the original one. K. Vidyasankar received B.E. (Elec. Engg.) from Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, M. Tech. from I.I.T. Kanpur, India, and Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Waterloo, Canada. He is now an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. His research interests include concurrency control and recovery in database systems, concurrency in interprocess communication, design and analysis of algorithms, and graph theory.A prelininary version of this paper, under the title Improving Peterson's Construction of 1-Writern-Reader Multivalued Atomic Register, appears in the Proc. 26th Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, September 1988, pp 693–700
