An alternative to the normal model is the permutation or randomization model. The permutation model is nonparametric because no formal assumptions are made about the population parameters of the reference distribution, i.e., the distribution to which an obtained result is compared to determine its probability when the null hypothesis is true. Typically the reference distribution is a sampling distribution for parametric tests and a permutation distribution for many nonparametric tests. Within the regression models, it is possible to use the permutation tests, considering their ownerships of optimality, especially in the multivariate context and the normal distribution of the response variables is not guaranteed. In the literature there are numerous permutation tests applicable to the estimation of the regression models. The purpose of this study is to examine different kinds of permutation tests applied to linear models, focused our attention on the specific test statistic on which they are based. In this paper we focused our attention on permutation test of the independent variables, proposed by Oja, and other methods to effect the inference in non parametric way, in a regression model. Moreover, we show the recent advances in this context and try to compare them.展开更多

The results are compared with those obtained using few other local field correction functions. The present results of total energy are in good agreement with the experimental data. Bulk modulus calculated by Nagy's screening function is perfectly matching with the experimental results for Ge and α-Sn. Some deviation is found in the value of energy band gap.展开更多

Two disclosure indexes used as dependent variables are proposed: a global index based on both quantitative and qualitative disclosure and a solely quantitative voluntary index. Firstly, the explanatory variables have been selected taking into account the main contributions of international literature. In addition, some specific variables have been introduced in order to take into account the peculiarities of Italian market system and the ongoing financial crisis. A positive relationship has been found among the global voluntary disclosure (GVD) and the number of employees, the dividend policy, and the presence of independent directors on the board. On the contrary, a negative correlation with respect to the percentage of the firm's outstanding shares held by directors (not independent) exists. With reference to the quantitative voluntary disclosure (QVD) index, there is a positive correlation with the number of employees, the dividend policy, the market floating, and the incidence of intangible assets. Moreover, such (quantitative) a disclosure is different depending on the industrial membership sector.展开更多

The crystallinity of nanosized Al-MCM-41 zeolites prepared crystallization and lead to change in the properties of the final from precursors mixtures containing different silica sources, e.g. tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), colloidal silica (CS), silicic acid (SA) and fumed silica (FS) have been studied. The produced samples are investigated using XRD, SEM, FT-IR, pyridine adsorption and N2 physisorption. XRD results show that the products obtained from different silica sources are in Al-MCM-41 phase. SEM results show that silica sources influence the produced Al-MCM-41 shape. Using silicic acid leads to formation of spherical crystals, TEOS gives cubical crystals, colloidal silica forms spherical crystals with smaller aggregated, and fumed silica gives rounded crystals. N2 physisorption results show that silica sources influence pore-diameter and pore-volume of the produced Al-MCM-41 ; the pore diameter of the produced Al-MCM-41 in case of colloidal silica, TEOS, fumed silica, and silicic acid are 12, 20, 15, and 17A respectively. Also, the pore volume of the produced AI-MCM-41 in case of colloidal silica, TEOS, fumed silica and silicic acid are 0.78, 0.71, 0.76, and 0.8 cm^3/gm, respectively.展开更多

However, the practical application of Li-S batteries is still impeded due to the low utilization of sulfur and serious shuttle-effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Here, we fabricated the porous honeycomb-like C3N4 (PHCN) through a hard template method. As a polar material, graphitic C3N4 has abundant nitrogen content (-58%), which can provide enough active sites to mitigate shuttle-effect, and then conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was introduced to combine with PHCN to form PHCN/rGO composite in order to improve the utilization efficiency of sulfur. After sulfur loading, the PHCN/rGO/S cathode exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 1,061.1 mA h g^-1 at 0.2 C and outstanding rate performance at high current density of 5 C (495.1 mA h g^-1), and also retained 519 mA h g^-1, after 400 cycles at 1 C. Even at high sulfur loading (4.3 mg cm^-2), the capacity fade rate was only 0.16% per cycle at 0.5 C for 200 cycles. The above results demonstrate that the special design of PHCN/rGO composite as sulfur host has high potential application for Li-S rechargeable batteries.展开更多
