Sharp Risk Bounds and a Shrinking-Variance Transition for Normal and Gamma Fits

Suppose lognormal data are fitted by an ordinary normal model and a shape-scale gamma model. If s > 0 is the log variance, the difference Delta(s) between their optimized forward Kullback-Leibler risks satisfies 2s/3 < Delta(s) < s and 2/3 < Delta'(s) < 1; both constants are opti...

BIOANALYTICAL VALIDATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS IN RABBIT PLASMA USING REVERSE-PHASE HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY: A REVIEW

Bioanalytical method development and validation are essential for the reliable quantification of antimicrobial drugs in biological matrices and for generating dependable pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic data. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is wide...

Estimating Shear Strength Parameters of Clay and Weak Rocks Using Needle Penetration Tests

ABSTRACT Weak and clay-bearing rocks and soils are highly abundant worldwide. They are currently being investigated for their suitability for deep geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste. For this purpose, uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, and shea...

QUALITATIVE PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF INDIGENOUS MEDICINAL PLANT ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA

Andrographis paniculata commonly known as Kalmegh and widely recognized as the “King of Bitters,” is an important medicinal plant belonging to the family Acanthaceae. It has long been used in traditional systems of medicine for the management of fever, gastrointestinal disorders,...

A Kaizen perspective for managing human-technology continuous improvement in the digital age

Purpose The paper examines how digital technologies are transforming continuous improvement (CI) by altering the cognitive and relational dynamics that have long underpinned Kaizen-oriented learning. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts a conceptual approach, drawing on...

RESTORING MOBILITY IN LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS: AN INTEGRATIVE AYURVEDIC APPROACH — A CASE REPORT

Background: Lumbar spondylosis is a common degenerative disorder of the lumbar spine associated with low back pain, stiffness, restricted movement and functional disability. From the Ayurvedic perspective, the clinical presentation may be correlated with Katishoola, a Vata-predom...

Operations of Mind: A framework for emergent thinking

Thinking is not hardcoded, and it cannot be. This note sets out Operations of Mind (OoM), a framework inwhich a machine is not given a method of thinking but a small set of basic mental operations, a drive tomake sense of what it encounters, and the freedom to chain those operati...
