The Performance Of Some Restricted Estimators In Restricted Linear Regression Model, Bader Aboud Mohammed, Mustafa Ismaeel Naif
Al-Qadisiyah Journal of Pure Science
In the linear regression model, the restricted biased estimation as one of important methods to addressing the high variance and the multicollinearity problems. In this paper, we make the simulation study of the some restricted biased estimators. The mean square error (MME) criteria are used to make a comparison among them. According to the simulation study we observe that, the performance of the restricted modified unbiased ridge regression estimator (RMUR) was proposed by Bader and Alheety (2020) is better than of these estimators. Numerical example have been considered to illustrate the performance of the estimators.

Reptiles utilize a variety of environmental cues to inform and drive animal behavior such as chemical scent trails produced by food or conspecifics. Decrypting the scent-trailing behavior of vertebrates, particularly invasive species, enables the discovery of cues that induce exploratory behavior and can aid in the development of valuable basic and applied biological tools. However, pinpointing behaviors dominantly driven by chemical cues versus other competing environmental cues can be challenging. Y-mazes are common tools used in animal behavior research that allow quantification of vertebrate chemosensory behavior across a range of taxa. By reducing external stimuli, Y-mazes remove confounding factors and …
You Do Math Like A Girl: How Women Reason Mathematically Outside Of Formal And School Mathematics Contexts, Katelyn C. Pyfer
You Do Math Like A Girl: How Women Reason Mathematically Outside Of Formal And School Mathematics Contexts, Katelyn C. Pyfer
Theses and Dissertations
Females continue to have negative dispositions towards mathematics even though the performance gap between females and males has all but disappeared. While there are many hypotheses for why these negative dispositions exist among females towards mathematics, this paper explores the possibility that the field of mathematics could favor more masculine ways of reasoning at the exclusion of valid, non-masculine mathematical thought. To research this idea, the day-to-day, non-formal, non-school mathematical activities of two women were identified and analyzed. The analysis uncovered complex mathematical processes among both women that were fundamentally different from the mathematical processes common in the mathematics field. …

Beijing has been suffering from frequent severe air pollution events, with concentrations affected significantly by the mixed-layer height. Major efforts have been made to study the physico-chemical properties, compositions, and sources of aerosol particles at ground level. However, little is known about the morphology, elemental composition, and mixing state of aerosol particles above the mixed layer. In this work, we collected individual aerosol particles simultaneously at ground level (2 m above ground) and above the mixed layer in urban Beijing (within the Atmospheric Pollution and Human Health in a Chinese Megacity, APHH-Beijing, 2016 winter campaign). The particles were analyzed offline …
Edge-State Critical Behavior Of The Integer Quantum Hall Transition, Martin Puschmann, Philipp Cain, Michael Schreiber, Thomas Vojta
Edge-State Critical Behavior Of The Integer Quantum Hall Transition, Martin Puschmann, Philipp Cain, Michael Schreiber, Thomas Vojta
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
The integer quantum Hall effect features a paradigmatic quantum phase transition. Despite decades of work, experimental, numerical, and analytical studies have yet to agree on a unified understanding of the critical behavior. Based on a numerical Green function approach, we consider the quantum Hall transition in a microscopic model of non-interacting disordered electrons on a simple square lattice. In a strip geometry, topologically induced edge states extend along the system rim and undergo localization–delocalization transitions as function of energy. We investigate the boundary critical behavior in the lowest Landau band and compare it with a recent tight-binding approach to the …

PRMT (Protein Arginine Methyltransferase) is a mammalian enzyme that catalyzes methylation of arginine residues in a polypeptide chain. PRMT is categorized as 3 different types. The methylation can occur as asymmetric dimethylation (ADMA, PRMT 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8), symmetric dimethylation (SDMA, PRMT 7, 5 and 9) or monomethylation (MMA, PRMT 7), Type I, II and III respectively. PRMT1 generates ADMA on arginine residues of the Histone H4 N-terminal tail, which can lead to transcription of cancer-related genes. Alternatively, PRMT5 can modify the same arginine residue to produce SDMA, which represses the development of those same cancer-related genes. …

The nation has been focusing on the opioid epidemic for many years. Aggregate quarterly data on opioid distribution at a general level has been available through the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but cannot be used to do analyses on the effects of opioids in local areas. Quantifying impacts of the opioid epidemic at the local level has never been easy: what little data was provided by the DEA was not user-friendly, overly broad and did not follow the desired timeline of data collection. This project focuses on database exploration and uses statistical methods and Decision Tree …

Ab initio calculations are applied to the question as to whether a AeX5− anion (Ae = Kr, Xe) can engage in a stable complex with another anion: F−, Cl−, or CN−. The latter approaches the central Ae atom from above the molecular plane, along its C5 axis. While the electrostatic repulsion between the two anions prevents their association in the gas phase, immersion of the system in a polar medium allows dimerization to proceed. The aerogen bond is a weak one, with binding energies less than 2 kcal/mol, even in highly polar aqueous solvent. The complexes are …

To gain insight into the spin-glass state of diluted magnetic semiconductors, we have examined the magnetic and electronic properties of Mn-doped ZnTe using density functional theory. Using a generalized gradient approximation, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties for x=0, 0.25, and 0.50 doping levels using the magnetic moment of Mn2+ as guide for the dependence of the Hubbard onsite potential on the electronic structure as well as a geometry optimization to assure an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) ground state which is consistent with a zero magnetic moment spin glass state. …

The neutral subatomic neutrinos are astronomical messengers that can provide us information to investigate the most violent astrophysical sources: supernovas, gamma-ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars. As these astrophysical neutrinos freely travel from their point of origin without being scattered by interstellar magnetic fields, we can analyze these particles by observing cosmic-ray air showers on the Earth’s atmosphere. These are produced by the energetic neutrinos by interacting with the air particles that produce a wavefront of Cherenkov radiation. To better identify these background neutrinos, IceCube, the South Pole Neutrino Observatory, constructed an imaging air Cherenkov …

The field of computing has in recent years begun to hit a wall in what is computationally feasible. In the past problems that were complex from a time standpoint waited for hardware to advance. Currently, Moore’s Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a chip doubles about every two years, has come to an end. This is due to the size of a transistor becoming so small that it begins to experience quantum effects and the laws of physics upon which a computer is built break down. A new paradigm of computing has emerged to …

Cosmic rays have baffled astronomers for over a century, as all potential origins have yet to be determined. Most of these galactic accelerated atomic nuclei are thought to be created in two possible fashions: from a supernova, or within a massive star cluster (MSC). In this study, we analyzed gamma-ray emission coincident with two MSCs named G25 and G27. Using NASA’s Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), we confirmed that the sources of gamma rays are spatially extended and emit up to the maximum energies observed by the LAT. So far, only the closest MSC to Earth …

Almost all of today’s computer security relies on something known as the RSA cryptosystem. This system relies on a mathematical, specifically number theory, problem known as prime factorization, where a composite number is broken down into its two prime number factors. This in an ideal method for encryption because it is easy to multiply two numbers, encoding the data, but it much harder to determine which numbers were originally multiplied together, thus hard to decode the data. If this composite number is sufficiently large, there is no known algorithm for efficiently breaking it down – at least …

In rapidly changing environmental conditions, bacterial mechanosensitive ion channels are responsible for ensuring cell survival. Bacterial mechanosensitive channels gate in response to membrane tension in order to relieve intracellular pressure, prior to cell lysis. The most well-studied bacterial mechanosensitive channels include the mechanosensitive channel of large (MscL) and small (MscS) conductance from Escherichia coli (E. coli), both of which gate in response to tension. In E. coli, there are seven mechanosensitive ion channel genes: MscL, MscS, and five additional genes that are members of the MscS superfamily. Of these seven genes, six have been shown to gate directly in response …

The rich phase diagram in mixed-valent manganites has been intensely studied in bulk crystals as a function of chemical doping. Here we study the effect of doping in La1-xSrxMnO3 thin films by varying the Sr/La ratio between samples. These thin films are grown using ozone assisted molecular beam epitaxy with carefully controlled stoichiometry for a range of doping from x = 0.0 to x = 0.5. Our electronic measurements reveal a crossover from a Mott insulator to a metallic ground state as x is increased. In the metallic ground state we observe a metal-to-insulator transition coincident with a ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic ordering …
