Testing the Strength of Hospital Accreditation as a Signal of the Quality of Care in Romania: Do Patients’ and Health Professionals’ Perceptions Align?
(9/19/2020)
Hospital accreditation, as a quality signal, is gaining its popularity among low- and middle-income countries, such as Romania, despite its costly nature. Nevertheless, its effectiveness as a quality signal in driving ...
The Role of the Decision-Making Regime on Cooperation in a Workgroup Social Dilemma: An Examination of Cyberloafing
(11/5/2015)
A burgeoning problem facing organizations is the loss of workgroup productivity due to cyberloafing. The current paper examines how changes in the decision-making rights about what workgroup members can do on the job affect ...
Genetic Addiction Risk and Psychological Profiling Analyses for "Preaddiction" Severity Index
(2022-10-27)
Since 1990, when our laboratory published the association of the DRD2 Taq A1 allele and severe alcoholism in JAMA, there has been an explosion of genetic candidate association studies, including genome-wide association ...
Novel Numerical Spiking Neural P Systems with a Variable Consumption Strategy
(3/20/2021)
A novel variant of NSN P systems, called numerical spiking neural P systems with a variable consumption strategy (NSNVC P systems), is proposed. Like the spiking rules consuming spikes in spiking neural P systems, NSNVC P ...
A Novel Certificateless Signature Scheme for Smart Objects in the Internet-of-Things
(5/1/2017)
Rapid advances in wireless communications and pervasive computing technologies have resulted in increasing interest and popularity of Internet-of-Things (IoT) architecture, ubiquitously providing intelligence and convenience ...
Optimal Coordination Strategy for International Production Planning and Pollution Abating under Cap-and-Trade Regulations
(9/19/2019)
Because both pollution emissions and production policies often are international in scope, it is necessary to find optimal coordination strategies for international production planning and pollution abating. Differential ...
Quantifying Privacy Risks for Continuous Trait Data
(2022-10-20)
In the context of life sciences, the rapid biotechnical development leads to the creation of huge amounts of biological data. The use of such data naturally brings concerns on human genetic privacy breaches, which also ...
Mean Equality Tests for High-Dimensional and Higher-Order Data with k-Self Similar Compound Symmetry Covariance Structure
(2022-02-01)
An extension of the D2
test statistic to test the equality of mean for high-dimensional and
k-th order array-variate data using k-self similar compound symmetry (k-SSCS) covariance structure
is derived. The k-th order ...
Statistical Validation of Risk Alleles in Genetic Addiction Risk Severity (GARS) Test: Early Identification of Risk for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 74,566 Case–Control Subjects
(2022-08-26)
Since 1990, when our laboratory published the association of the DRD2 Taq A1 allele and severe alcoholism in JAMA, there has been an explosion of genetic candidate association studies, including GWAS. To develop an accurate ...
Load-Sharing Model under Lindley Distribution and Its Parameter Estimation Using the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm
(11/22/2020)
A load-sharing system is defined as a parallel system whose load will be redistributed to its surviving components as each of the components fails in the system. Our focus is on making statistical inference of the parameters ...
