This paper considers testing for the ratio of two exponential means. We propose a solution based on a Bayesian decision rule to this problem in which no subjective input is considered. The criterion for testing is the Bayesian reference criterion (Bernardo, 1999). We derive the Bayesian reference criterion for testing the ratio of two exponential means. Simulation study and a real data example are provided.

In this paper, we derived estimators of reliability P(Y < X) and the distribution of ratio in the bivariate exponential density. We also considered the means and variances of M = max{X,Y} and m = min{X,Y}. We finally presented how E(M), E(m), Var(M) and Var(m) are varied with respect to the ones in the bivariate exponential density.

This paper deals with the problem of testing for the existence of change in mean and estimating the change-point when the data are from the exponential distributions. The likelihood ratio test statistic and Gombay and Horvath (1990) test statistic are compared in a power study when there exists one change-point in the exponential means. Also the change-point estimator using the likelihood ratio and the change-point estimators based on Gombay and Horvath (1990) statistic are compared for their detecting capability via simulation.

The method for detecting the best treatment is considered by means of hypothesis testing in the exponential case. The likelihood ratio test for a given hypothesis is derived to control the error probability, and the minimum powers in the interested regions are calculated to design the sampling plan.

We propose the Bayesian testing for the equality of K-exponential populations means with Type-II censored data. Specially we use the fractional Bayesian factors suggested by O'Hagan (1995) based on the noninformative priors for the parameters. And, we investigate the usefulness of the proposed Bayesian testing procedures via both real data analysis and simulations and compare the classical likelihood ratio(LR) test with the proposed Bayesian test.

Barnwal and Paul(1988) derived the likelihood ratio statistic and $C(\alpha)$ statistic for testing the equality of the means of several groups of count data in the presence of a common dispersion parameter. These tests are generalized to be applicable without the restriction of a common dispersion parameter. And the assumed model of data is also extended from negative binomial to double exponential Poisson model. Monte Carlo simulations show the superiority of $C(\alpha)$ statistic based on the double exponential Poisson family which has a very simple form and requires estimates of the parameters only under the null hypothesis.

The current article proposed to develop a geometrical model for the analysis and modelling of the uniaxial functionally graded structure using the higher-order displacement kinematics with and without the presence of porosity including the distribution. Additionally, the formulation is capable of modelling three different kinds of grading patterns i.e., Power-law, sigmoid and exponential distribution of the individual constituents through the thickness direction. Also, the model includes the distribution of porosity (even and uneven kind) through the panel thickness. The structural governing equation of the porous graded structure is obtained (Hamilton's principle) and solved mathematically by means of the isoparametric finite element technique. Initially, the linear frequency parameters are obtained for different geometrical configuration via own computer code. The comparison and the corresponding convergence studies are performed for the unidirectional FG structure for the validation purpose. Finally, the impact of different influencing parameters like aspect ratio (O), thickness ratio (S), curvature ratio (R/h), porosity index (λ), type of porosity (even or uneven), power-law exponent (n), boundary condition on the free vibration characteristics are obtained for the FG panel and discussed in details.

As a component for a recirculating aquaculture system, a new strain of denitrifying bacterium was isolated from municipal sewage. The isolate was motile by means of one polar flagellum, catalase-positive, and a Gram-negative rod-shaped cell measuring $0.5-0.6{\mu}m$ in width and $1.3-1.9{\mu}m$ in length. The isolate was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens and produced dinitrogen gas via the reduction of nitrate. The optimal growth conditions (pH, temperature, carbon source, and C/N ratio) of the isolate were found to be 6.8, $30^{\circ}C$, malate, and 3, respectively. Under optimal growth conditions of P. fluorescens, dinitrogen gas was first detected in the exponential growth phase, then a small amount of nitrite was developed and converted to dinitrogen gas in the stationary phase. Pseudomonas fluorescens cells were immobilized in modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel beads, and the maximum denitrification rate was measured as $36.6 {\mu}lN_2h^-1$ per bead with an optimum cell loading of $20mg {\mu}l^-1$ and $2\%$ sodium alginate added to the PVA gel. The operating stability of the modified PVA gel beads remained unchanged for up to 43 repeated batches.

The study was carried out to develop a mathematical model for evaluating the effect of organic fertilizers in organic rice production systems. A function to simulate the nitrogen mineralization process in the paddy soil has been developed and integrated into ORYZA2000 crop growth model. Inorganic nitrogen in the soil was estimated by single exponential models, given temperature and C:N ratio of organic amendments. Data collected from the two-year field experiment were used to evaluate the performance of the model. The revised version of ORYZA2000 provided reasonable estimates of key variables for nitrogen dynamics and crop growth in the organic rice production systems. Coefficient of determination between the measured value and simulated value were 0.6613, 0.8938, and 0.8092, respectively for soil inorganic nitrogen, total dry matter production, and rice yield. This means that the model could be used to quantify nitrogen supplying capacity of organic fertilizers relative to chemical fertilizer. Nitrogen dynamics and rice growth simulated by the model would be useful information to make decision for organic fertilization in organic rice production systems.
