(R1953) M-Regression Estimation with the k Nearest Neighbors Smoothing under Quasi-associated Data in Functional Statistics
Get PDFThe main goal of this paper is to study the non parametric M-estimation under quasi-associated sequence with the k Nearest Neighbor’s method shortly (kNN). We construct an estimator of this nonparametric function and we study its asymptotic properties. Furthermore, a comparison study based on simulated data is also provided to illustrate the highly sensitive of the kNN approach to the presence of even a small proportion of outliers in the data
(R1980) Effect of Climate Change on Brain Tumor
Get PDFIn this paper, we introduce a new dynamical model addressing the variation in climate condition due the presence of microorganisms. We also introduce a new dynamical model of cancer growth which includes three interactive cell populations with drug free environment, namely tumor cells, healthy host cells, and immune effector cells. In this, we considered the super growth of tumor cells. For the choice of certain parameters, both of the systems exhibit chaotic behavior. The aim of this work is to design the controller to control the chaos and to provide sufficient conditions which achieve synchronization of two non-identical systems, which is based on Lyapunov stability theory. To verify synchronization is achieved between the systems, we performed the numerical simulation
(R1500) Type-I Generalized Spherical Interval Valued Fuzzy Soft Sets in Medical Diagnosis for Decision Making
Get PDFIn the present communication, we introduce the concept of Type-I generalized spherical interval valued fuzzy soft set and define some operations. It is a generalization of the interval valued fuzzy soft set and the spherical fuzzy soft set. The spherical interval valued fuzzy soft set theory satisfies the condition that the sum of its degrees of positive, neutral, and negative membership does not exceed unity and that these parameters are assigned independently. We also propose an algorithm to solve the decision making problem based on a Type-I generalized soft set model. We introduce a similarity measure based on the Type-I generalized soft set model for two Type-I generalized spherical interval valued fuzzy soft sets and discuss its application in a medical diagnosis problem. Illustrative examples are mentioned to show that they can be successfully used to solve problems with uncertainties
Journal of Bangladesh Studies - Vol 24 Number 2 - 2022
No full textJBS is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal registered in the USA. JBS has the goal of publishing cutting-edge research on Bangladesh and reaching a wide range of academic institutions and research centers throughout the world.
We encourage articles from all disciplines of scholarship pertaining to the study of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh diaspora, or comparative studies in which Bangladesh is included. Our aim is to provide a platform for rigorous intellectual and academic research as well as studies that are practical and relevant to everyday solutions and policymaking. Articles should address Bangladesh\u27s problems and prospects from theoretical, empirical, or analytical perspectives prevalent in academic disciplines. Articles must be grounded in theory, analysis, and referenced work, and be able to address readers beyond the specific disciplines they represent.https://digitalcommons.pvamu.edu/journal-of-bangladesh-studies/1002/thumbnail.jp
MENDE Culture of Arts from Sierra Leone and Liberia are unique in Africa- (Bundi Mask)
No full textBundu masks, created in the 19th and 20th centuries in Sierra Leone, were crafted by men, but worn by women during Sande Society initiation masquerades. These masks represent the importance of women in Mende society, as well as the emphasis on adhering to the ideal of a young woman.
Bundu, Society is a fellowship of women who are responsible for preparing young Mende girls for adulthood, and for their roles as wives, mothers, and female community members. The mask itself is a conical helmet that rests on top of the raffia costume, and is described by observers as truly a glamorous being...the mask joins the community together in the experience of its beauty and allure.https://digitalcommons.pvamu.edu/african-sculptures-and-masks/1015/thumbnail.jp
BENIN Culture of Arts from Western Africa, bordering the Bight of Benin, between Nigeria and Togo - (Shrine Oba head)
No full textThe head is an idealized image of an oba, or king, of the Kingdom of Benin. portrait cast in bronze and placed on an altar at the palace. The altar constitutes an important site of palace ritual and is understood to be a means of incorporating the ongoing influence of past kings in the affairs of their descendants.
The placement of brass heads on the ancestral altar is a vivid reminder of the oba\u27s role in successfully guiding the kingdom throughout his reign.https://digitalcommons.pvamu.edu/african-sculptures-and-masks/1023/thumbnail.jp
SUKU Culture of Arts from the southwest Democratic Republic of Congo - ( Fetish Figure)
No full textThis Suku fetish figure (as called in older literature) or power figure, is attributed to the Suku people. It is an implement that would generally be used by diviners in the healing and protection rituals they held.https://digitalcommons.pvamu.edu/african-sculptures-and-masks/1027/thumbnail.jp
BAMANA Culture Of Arts in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal - ( Chiwara Antelope Headdress)
No full textThese headdresses, also called ci wara, are carved to honor that original mythical being. Under Ci Wara\u27s guidance, humans first learned to cultivate the land and became prosperous and able farmers. To honor Ci Wara\u27s memory, the Bamana created a boli, a power object in which his spirit could reside, and carved headdresses such as these to represent him.
Ci wara headdresses combine antelope features with those of other animals that are significant within Bamana culture, such as the earth-digging aardvark or the armored pangolin.https://digitalcommons.pvamu.edu/african-sculptures-and-masks/1034/thumbnail.jp
CHOKWE Culture of Arts from the southern part of Congo (Kinshasa) from the Kwango River to the Lualaba; northeastern Angola; and, the northwestern corner of Zambia - (Stool)
No full textThe figure in these Chokwe stools is an ancestor holding her head in sorrow. She is worried that her descendants are not honoring her as they should and fears that they may be punished for their misdeeds. Many African cultures, including the Chokwe, believe death is not an end, but merely a transition to the spirit world. Departed ancestors continue to play an active role in the life of the living, providing protection and guidance.https://digitalcommons.pvamu.edu/african-sculptures-and-masks/1059/thumbnail.jp
