The coefficient of variation is often used to illustrate the variability of precipitation. Moreover, the difference of two independent coefficients of variation can describe the dissimilarity of rainfall from two areas or times. Several researches reported that the rainfall data has a delta-lognormal distribution. To estimate the dynamics of precipitation, confidence interval construction is another method of effectively statistical inference for the rainfall data. In this study, we propose confidence intervals for the difference of two independent coefficients of variation for two delta-lognormal distributions using the concept that include the fiducial generalized confidence interval, the Bayesian methods, and the standard bootstrap. The performance of the proposed methods was gauged in terms of the coverage probabilities and the expected lengths via Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation studies shown that the highest posterior density Bayesian using the Jeffreys’ Rule prior outperformed other methods in virtually cases except for the cases of large variance, for which the standard bootstrap was the best. The rainfall series from Songkhla, Thailand are used to illustrate the proposed confidence intervals.

Barlow's redundancy reduction hypothesis is applied using techniques developed from signal processing theory to derive the one-dimensional ganglion and simple cell kernels. The resulting closed-form expression for the ganglion cell kernel reduces redundancy over the entire range of signal-to-noise ratios, and resembles the phenomenological kernel. Significantly, it exhibits observed nontrivial dependence of the cell's parameters on background luminosity. The one-dimensional simple cell kernel is deduced by requiring that it maintain the redundancy reduction achieved by the ganglion cells despite the presence of intrinsic noise introduced through transmission along the optic nerve Neural update algorithms which converge to these cell profiles, starting from any initial set of synaptic strengths, are also derived. These learning algorithms turn out to be anti-Hebbian.

Theoretical Results

In this paper, an icosahedral non-body-centered model is presented to simulate the periodic structure of a general class of homogeneous particulate composites, by predicting the particle arrangement. This model yielded three different variations, which correspond to three different deterministic particle configurations. In addition, the concept of a boundary interphase between matrix and inclusions was taken into account. In this framework, the influence of particle vicinity on the thermomechanical properties of the overall material was examined in parallel with the concept of boundary interphase. The simultaneous consideration of these two basic influential factors constitutes the novelty of this work. Next, by the use of this advanced model, the authors derived a closed-form expression to estimate the thermal conductivity of this type of composite. To test the validity of the model, the theoretical predictions arising from the proposed formula were compared with experimental data found in the literature, together with theoretical results obtained from several accurate formulae derived from other workers, and an adequate accordance was observed.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease caused by a virus and transmitted by vectors, especially Aedes aegypti and Ae. Albopictus. The number of cases tends to increase and is widespread in almost all regions. This study aims to determine the different types of water sources on the attractiveness of Aedes aegypti for laying eggs. The research method uses the One Way Anova statistical test analysis with α <0.05. The results showed the One Way Anova test obtained p value = 0.048 (p <0.05) meaning that there are differences in the type of water source to the attractiveness of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to lay eggs, especially in well water with river water with a value of p = 0.016 (p <0, 05). The difference in the number of mosquito eggs found in containers containing rain water, river water and well water indicates that the Aedes aegypti mosquito has different appeal in laying its eggs. The community should always maintain sanitation, especially containers that hold water so that it does not have the potential to become Aedes aegypti mosquito nest sites and can reduce the density of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Introduction: Caring behavior is very important for nurses to have because it illustrates the quality of nursing care, especially for nurses who work in inpatient units. There are three factors that can influence the level of caring behavior, namely individual, psychological and organizational factors. Meanwhile, caring behavior is assessed from Knowing, Being With, Doing For, Enabling, and Maintaining Belief. Objective: To describe the factors that influence the caring behavior of nurses in Baladhika Husada Jember Hospital. Methods: Nonexperimental design with descriptive type, in which the approach was cross sectional, carried out for 1 month and involved 62 respondents. Results: 47 respondents stated that the three factors above had an influence on caring behavior and 15 respondents stated that it had no effect, while the caring behavior of respondents in the good category was 58 people and 4 people were not good. Analysis of data using the One-Sample Binominal test at alpha (α) = 0.05, has the p-value = 0.000, which illustrates the difference between the factors that influence caring behavior towards nurses caring behavior. Conclusion: The factors that influence caring behavior are directly proportional to caring behavior, meaning the better factors that influence caring behavior, the better nurses caring behavior level. Maintaining and improving caring behavior requires good effort and cooperation between the hospital manager which is the place for health services and nurses as nursing care providers.

Objective: the aim of this study was to verify the reproducibility index of the frequency meter with GPS technology with recording speed of 1Hz in acyclic displacement and intermittent intensity, performed by soccer referees. Materials and methods: it was characterized by a field study with a quantitative trait involving 14 men, aged 20.42 ± 2.78 years, from a barracks in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Polar heart rate monitor with 1Hz GPS model V800 was used. The protocol used was adapted from the FIFA test protocol for soccer referees, so that 10 "shots" of 75m in 15s were accomplished by 25m in 20 of recovery. Testing and retest were applied with 7 days interval and identical protocols: heating, ambiance (4 "shots" following the model of the protocol above) and then the test. Since the circuit covered in the test protocol was 1000 m.Results: a mean of 1002.5 ± 17.12 m was obtained in the test and in the test 1010.83± 32.88 m, the coefficients of variation were respectively 1% and 3%. The difference wasnot significant between the test and the retest (P-value> 0.05), and the intraclasscorrelation coefficient indicated a moderate association between the measures.Conclusion: therefore, it is suggested that it is acceptable to use a frequency gauge with a recording speed of 1Hz to monitor displacements of soccer referees in acyclic displacement and intermittent intensity.

SummaryIn 4 collaborative trials, involving a varying number of hospital laboratories in the Stockholm area, the coagulation activity of different test materials was estimated with the one-stage prothrombin tests routinely used in the laboratories, viz. Normotest, Simplastin-A and Thrombotest. The test materials included different batches of a lyophilized reference plasma, deep-frozen specimens of diluted and undiluted normal plasmas, and fresh and deep-frozen specimens from patients on long-term oral anticoagulant therapy.Although a close relationship was found between different methods, Simplastin-A gave consistently lower values than Normotest, the difference being proportional to the estimated activity. The discrepancy was of about the same magnitude on all the test materials, and was probably due to a divergence between the manufacturers’ procedures used to set “normal percentage activity”, as well as to a varying ratio of measured activity to plasma concentration. The extent of discrepancy may vary with the batch-to-batch variation of thromboplastin reagents.The close agreement between results obtained on different test materials suggests that the investigated reference plasma could be used to calibrate the examined thromboplastin reagents, and to compare the degree of hypocoagulability estimated by the examined PIVKA-insensitive thromboplastin reagents.The assigned coagulation activity of different batches of the reference plasma agreed closely with experimentally obtained values. The stability of supplied batches was satisfactory as judged from the reproducibility of repeated measurements. The variability of test procedures was approximately the same on different test materials.

One of the diseases that can be transmitted by flies is diarrhea. Green betel leaf contains essential oils, chavicol, arecoline, phenol, and tannins which function as plant-based insecticides. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of green betel leaf extract (Piper betel) as a plant-based insecticide on the number of mortality of house flies (Musca domestica). The research was an experimental study used After Only Design used the One Way Anova test with a 95% confidence level. The samples used were 360 house flies. Each treatment of 30 house flies with 4 repetitions and used three concentrations of green betel leaf extract (25%, 50%, 75%). The study was conducted at the Chemistry and Microbiology Laboratory of Health Polytechnic Tanjungpinang, while the location of the fly collection was at the Tokojo Garbage Collection Station in Bintan Regency. The number of mortality of house flies at a concentration of 25% was 81 heads (67.5%), 50% concentrations were 93 heads (77.5%), and at a concentration of 75% were 103 heads (85.83%). There was an effect of green betel leaf extract on the mortality of house flies (p-value 0.0001 <0.05) with the most effective concentration of 75%. Further research is needed to obtain a finished product utilizing green betel leaf extract as a vegetable insecticide, especially in controlling the fly vector.
