FWER controlling procedures for testing multiple hypotheses with hierarchical structure and applications in clinical trials
… etc. Thus, they are tested in a pre-defined fixed sequence. In some more complex cases, the hypotheses to be tested are hierarchically grouped into several families, and thus the families are tested in a sequential order. Although such problems of structured multiple testing have received …

A Comparison of Discounting Parameters Obtained Through Two Different Adjusting Procedures: Bisection and Up-Down.
… outcomes. One involved adjustments using a fixed sequence of ascending or descending amounts, the other used a bisection algorithm in which the changes in amounts varied as a function of the subjects' choices. Two magnitudes of delayed outcomes were used: $1,000 and $10,000. A within subject …

Mathematical modeling and analysis of flexible production lines
… by storage areas in which parts flow in a fixed sequence. A machine operates on the highest priority part whenever possible, and only operates on lower priority parts when unable to produce the higher priority parts. Part priorities are static and are a function only of part type. The …

The control of the false discovery rate under structured hypotheses
… of the hypotheses. First, we study the fixed sequence structure where the testing order of the hypotheses has been pre-specified. We are motivated to study this structure since it is the most basic of structures, yet, it has been largely ignored in the literature on large scale multiple …

Constellations and anti-corridors
… is linear: rooms are perceived and passed in a fixed sequence of one space following another. The space of anti-corridors is non-linear: rooms are dispersed into a field. Many spaces can be perceived at once and one can pass through them in any order. Desired constellations can emerge. Airports …

The Distribution of the Product of Parts in Integer Partitions
… n, a partition L = (ℓ1, ℓ2, ℓ3, . . .) is a sequence of non-decreasing positive integers whose sum is n. The norm N(L) of a partition L is defined as the product of its parts. Consider a random partition L of n sampled uniformly from all partitions of n. It was recently proved by Bridges and …

EFFECTS OF DIAZEPAM, D-AMPHETAMINE, AND MORPHINE ON RATS’ CHOICES BETWEEN FOOD ALONE AND FOOD WITH DELAYED SHOCK
… choices that result in immediate reinforcing consequences followed by delayed aversive consequences are commonly associated with failures in “self-control”. The present study evaluated acute effects of diazepam, <em>d</em>-amphetamine, and morphine on rats’ choices using a variable-delay …

Effect of dihydroartemisin-piperaquine for malaria intermittent preventive treatment on dolutegravir exposure in pregnant women living with HIV
… We conducted an open-label, non-randomised, fixed sequence, pharmacokinetic study in PWLHIV in Malawi. Dolutegravir concentrations were measured over a 24-hour period, before and after the recommended three-day treatment dose of dihydroartemisininpiperaquine in 12 pregnant women in their 2nd …

The role of ventrolateral prefrontal cortex in performance of spatial self-ordered response sequences in the marmoset
… such as planning and executing spatial response sequences requires further analysis, using more refined methods than have been employed hitherto. These studies investigated the role of vlPFC in performance of self-ordered response sequences using intra-cerebral microinfusions of specific …

A Model for the Development and Administration of a Modern Television Complex for Private Colleges and Universities
… the future. (8) Establishment of a complex is a fixed sequence task that can be carefully planned.</p> <p>Recommendations. The following recommendations are presented: (1) The model developed in this study should be field tested by small colleges and universities planning a television complex and …

BLINDED EVALUATIONS OF EFFECT SIZES IN CLINICAL TRIALS: COMPARISONS BETWEEN BAYESIAN AND EM ANALYSES
… acceptable pre-specified bounds. The widely used fixed sequence gate-keeping procedures require prospective ordering of null hypotheses for secondary endpoints. This prospective ordering is often based on a number of untested assumptions about expected treatment differences, the assumed population …

Dynamic scheduling of manufacturing systems with setups and random disruptions
… is introduced and developed. It is a dynamic-sequence policy that always produces the current part type at its maximum production rate until a fixed base stock level is reached. Then, before switching setups, the policy might produce the current part type at its demand rate for some additional …

Multiple testing procedures for complex structured hypotheses and directional decisions
… This research proves that the conventional fixed sequence procedure, which tests each hypothesis at level [alpha], when augmented with directional decisions, can control mdFWER under independence and positive regression dependence of the test statistics. Another more conservative directional …
