Reliability studies of the skew normal distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
It has been observed in various practical applications that data do not conform to the normal distribution, which is symmetric with no skewness. The skew normal distribution proposed by Azzalini(1985) is appropriate for the analysis of data which is

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

BAYESIAN INFERENCE FOR THE HALF-NORMAL AND HALF-T DISTRIBUTIONS [PDF]

open access: yes
In this article we consider approaches to Bayesian inference for the half-normal and half-t distributions. We show that a generalized version of the normal-gamma distribution is conjugate to the half-normal likelihood and give the moments of this new ...

Photoacoustic Nanotagging for In Vivo Tracking and Optimization of Macrophage Immunotherapy in Solid Tumors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Macrophage‐based immunotherapy for solid tumors is limited by poor tracking of cell localization and persistence. This study introduces nanotagged macrophages enabling near‐infrared photoacoustic imaging for real‐time monitoring. IFNγ‐conjugated tags enhance antitumor polarization without harming viability.

A Bayesian model for age at death with unequal adult mortality and cohort effects

open access: yesGenus
The conventional approach to modeling age at death through parametric models often employs a three-component mixture as a standard. However, recognizing the need to more accurately reflect the diverse trends in old age mortality, this study introduces a ...

Log-Skew-Normal and Log-Skew-t Distributions as Models for Family Income Data

open access: yes, 2002
The U.S. family income data for the years 1970, 1975, 1978, 1980, 1985 and 1990 was fitted using the log-normal, Gamma, Singh-Maddala, Dagum type I and generalized Beta of second kind distributions, among others in earlier publications.

Tamper‐Responsive Physical Unclonable Functions via Graphene‐Interlayered Block Copolymer Random Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐invalidating multilayer physical unclonable functions (PUFs) integrate fingerprint‐like metal nanopattern bilayers from block copolymer templates with highly reactive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) interlayers. This tamper‐responsive architecture blocks all unauthorized physical and chemical replication attempts while autonomously deactivating ...

A Note On Skew-Normal Distribution Approximation To The Negative Binomal Distribution

open access: yes, 2011
This article revisits the problem of approximating the negative binomial distribution. Its goal is to show that the skew-normal distribution, another alternative methodology, provides a much better approximation to negative binomial probabilities than ...

TRIANGULAR MATRIX REPRESENTATIONS OF SKEW MONOID RINGS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Let R be a ring and S a u.p.-monoid. Assume that there is a monoid homomorphism α : S → Aut (R). Suppose that α is weakly rigid and lR(Ra) is pure as a left ideal of R for every element a ∈ R.

Life‐Like Ferrous Oxide Microspheres from Kombucha

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Kombucha bacterial cellulose, sodium alginate, and ferrous nitrate self‐assemble into membrane‐enclosed iron oxide microspheres. These microspheres bud daughter vesicles, sustain 24‐h electrochemical oscillations, and filter theta‐band signals.
