Truncation, Information, and the Coefficient of Variation

1989

The Fisher information in a random sample from the truncated version of a distribution that belongs to an exponential family is compared with the Fisher information in a random sample from the un- truncated distribution. Conditions under which there is more information in the selection sample are given. Examples involving the normal and gamma distributions with various selection sets, and the zero-truncated binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions are discussed. A property pertaining to the coefficient of variation of certain discrete distributions on the non-negative integers is introduced and shown to be satisfied by all binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions.

Bounds for Bessel functions

1989

We establish lower and upper bounds for the Bessel functionJ v (x) and the modified Bessel functionI v(x) of the first kind. Our chief tool is the differential equation satisfied by these functions.

New Types of Jacobian-Free Approximate Riemann Solvers for Hyperbolic Systems

2017

We present recent advances in PVM (Polynomial Viscosity Matrix) methods based on internal approximations to the absolute value function. These solvers only require a bound on the maximum wave speed, so no spectral decomposition is needed. Moreover, they can be written in Jacobian-free form, in which only evaluations of the physical flux are used. This is particularly interesting when considering systems with complex Jacobians, as the relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) equations. The proposed solvers have also been extended to the case of approximate DOT (Dumbser-Osher-Toro) methods, which can be regarded as simple and efficient approximations to the classical Osher-Solomon method.

A Leibniz variety with almost polynomial growth

2005

Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic zero. In this paper we study the variety of Leibniz algebras V ˜ 1 defined by the identity y 1 ( y 2 y 3 ) ( y 4 y 5 ) ≡ 0 . We give a complete description of the space of multilinear identities in the language of Young diagrams through the representation theory of the symmetric group. As an outcome we show that the variety V ˜ 1 has almost polynomial growth, i.e., the sequence of codimensions of V ˜ 1 cannot be bounded by any polynomial function but any proper subvariety of V ˜ 1 as polynomial growth.

Näennäinen kasvu ja välttelyn taktiikat määrittämässä opiskelijaryhmän omatoimista työskentelyä

2012

Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin opiskelijaryhmän työskentelyä estäviä puolia silloin, kun ryhmä toimii itsenäisesti ilman kouluttajia. Huomion kohteena olivat erityisesti työskentelyn piilevät ja tiedostamattomat puolet. Tutkimuskohteena oli Jyväskylän yliopiston 13-henkinen opiskelijaryhmä, joka opiskeli toista opintovuottaan integraatiokoulutuksessa. Aineisto kerättiin havainnoimalla pääasiassa ryhmän itsenäisiä tapaamisia lukuvuonna 2010-2011 sekä teettämällä opiskelijoilla kirjoitelmia lukuvuoden kuluessa. Lisäksi aineistoon kuului opiskelijoiden tekemä ryhmätyö heidän sanomattomista säännöis-tään sekä opiskelijoiden sähköpostiviesti ohjaajille. Aineistossa ilmeneviä teemoja tulkittiin niid…

Tumor-independent Detection of Inherited Mismatch Repair Deficiency for the Diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome with High Specificity and Sensitivity

2023

Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary cancer syndrome. Early diagnosis improves prognosis and reduces health care costs, through existing cancer surveillance methods. The problem is finding and diagnosing the cancer predisposing genetic condition. The current workup involves a complex array of tests that combines family cancer history and clinical phenotypes with tumor characteristics and sequencing data, followed by a challenging task to interpret the found variant(s). On the basis of the knowledge that an inherited mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is a hallmark of LS, we have developed and validated a functional MMR test, DiagMMR, that detects inherited MMR deficiency directly…

Audiokokous työelämän vuorovaikutustilanteena

2012

Työelämän viestintä on monipuolistunut erilaisten viestintävälineiden käytön ja tiimityön myötä. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kuvata ja analysoida audiokokousta työelämän vuorovaikutustilanteena. Audiokokous on teknologiavälitteisen viestinnän vuorovaikutustilanne, jossa viestitään äänen välityksellä joko tietokoneella tai puhelimella. Käytössä on jokin yhteinen virtuaalinen tila, jossa voi näyttää reaaliaikaisesti kokoukseen liittyviä materiaaleja mutta ei nähdä videokuvaa osallistujista. Tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisena tapaustutkimuksena havainnoimalla aitoja työelämän kokouksia tallenteilta aineistolähtöisesti. Kokouksissa keskusteli osittain hajautettu tiimi työn seurantaan ja k…

Holocene sea level change in Malta

2013

A multidisciplinary approach has been applied to study sea level changes along the coast of Malta using data collected from underwater archaeological remains. The elevation of archaeological markers have been compared with predicted sea level curves providing new bodies of evidence that outline the vertical tectonic behaviour of this region, allowing estimation of the relative sea level changes that occurred in this area of the Mediterranean since the Bronze Age. During the Roman Age, sea level was at −1.36 ± 0.1 m, while in the Midde Age it was at −0.56 ± 0.2 m, in agreement with previous estimations for the Mediterranean region. Data indicate that Malta was tectonically stable during the …

The Relationship between Knowledge Characteristics’ Fit and Job Satisfaction and Job Performance: The Mediating Role of Work Engagement

2020

Knowledge workers are highly valued by organizations, but there is a lack of evidence about the role of work engagement in the satisfaction and performance of these workers. Harmonization and Person&ndash
