Some test functions for the parameters of the weibull distributions

Test functions, based on various types of censored and noncensored data, for testing several hypotheses about the location, the scale, and the shape parameters of the Weibull distributions are proposed. The exact sampling distributions of these test statistics are derived and their properties in special cases are discussed. A numerical example is considered to illustrate the application of the test functions. The results of this paper possess good possibility of wide application in view of the fact that hosts of real data arising from diverse fields of human endeavor are adequately described by the Weibull distribution.     

Bayes sequential strategies for crossing a field containing absorption points

A sequential decision problem is considered in which N particles have to cross a given field. Two alternative crossing paths are available. An unknown number of absorption points J₁ and J₂ are planted at each of the crossing paths. The bivariate prior distribution of (J₁,J₂) is given. If a particle passes close to an absorption point it may survive with probability s, 0 < s < 1. If a particle is absorbed, both the particle and the absorption point are ruined. There is no replacement of ruined absorption points. All absorption points act independently. The particles crciss the field in a consecutive order, and a crossing path can be chosen for each particle. The objective is to maximize the expected number of survivors. The Bayes sequential procedure is characterized. The csmditions under which the Bayes strategy is determined by the maximal posterior survival probabilities are specified.     

A queuing process with bilevel hysteretic service-rate control

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of a particular control doctrine applied to the service mechanism of a queuing process. A bilevel hysteretic control based on queue length control levels is employed in an M/M/1 queuing system. Expressions are obtained for queue length probabilities, the first two factorial moments of queue length and two figures of merit for describing control performance under the assumption of statistical equilibrium. Computational examples illustrate the effects on queuing processes subject to this type of control. Several cost formulae are considered for comparison of costs when the queue control doctrine is varied. Situations in which hysteretic control is useful are discussed.     

Solutions for a class of n-person games in partition function form

A unique polyhedral solution is given for most n-person games in partition function form when only partitions into coalitions with 1, n-1, and n players have large payoffs.     

熔融织构（MTG）的YBa2Cu3O7-δ块材的交流磁化率研究

本文通过控制温度梯度和降温速率等烧结工艺制备了熔融织构的YBa_2Cu_3O_(7-8)块材,经结构分析和交流磁化率测量,发现样品晶粒择优取向,样品开始出现抗磁信号的温度为92K,交流磁化率虚部只存在一个反映晶粒内部损耗的小尖峰。施加直流场0-600高斯,小尖峰向低温移动,峰的半宽度略有展宽,峰的高度增强。用磁滞损耗解释了上述结果。
