Analytical results show that a great many parametric families of distributions are pivotal. In a pivotal family of distributions a general method of deriving fiducial distributions of parameters is proposed. In the method a fiducial model plays an important role. A fiducial model is a function of a random variable with a known distribution, called the pivotal random element, when the observation of a statistic is given.The method of this paper includes some other methods of deriving fiducial distributions. Specially the first fiducial distribution given by Fisher can be derived by the method. For the monotone likelihood ratio family of distributions, which is a pivotal family, the fiducial distributions have a frequentist property in the Neyman-Pearson view. Fiducial distributions of regular parametric functions also have the above frequentist property. Some advantages of the fiducial inference are exhibited in four applications of the fiducial distribution. Many examples are given, in which the fiducial distributions cannot be derived by the existing methods.展开更多

Composition and microstruc-ture factors especially the morphology, size and volume fraction of retained austenite, which largely influence the strength and ductility of the steel, are reviewed and discussed one after another. Modelling of the inter-critical annealing and martempering processes as well as the designing of the TRIP steel aided by commercial software are introduced. Some special aspects of the dynamic mechanical properties of TRIP steel are firstly reported.展开更多

In this article, we extend their idea to Cox＇s proportional hazards （PH） model by using a penalized log partial likelihood with the SICA penalty. The number of the regression coefficients is allowed to grow with the sample size. Based on an approximation to the inverse of the Hessian matrix, the proposed method can be easily carried out with the smoothing quasi-Newton （SQN） algorithm. Under appropriate sparsity conditions, we show that the resulting estimator of the regression coefficients possesses the oracle property. We perform an extensive simulation study to compare our approach with other methods and illustrate it on a well known PBC data for predicting survival from risk factors.展开更多

The corresponding MOF nanoparticles are prepared by a hydrothermal method and the optical thin films are successfully prepared by spincoating. The optical properties of the corresponding MOF thin films are controlled by changing the type of functional groups on the benzene ring of the ligand（terephthalic acid） on MOFs.The functional groups are hydrogen atoms（H）,electron donating groups（-NH_2,-OH） and electron withdrawing groups（-NO_2,-（NO_2）_2 or F_4）, respectively. It is found that the effective refractive index（n_（eff）） of MOF thin films decreases along with the increasing voids among MOF nanoparticles. In addition, the extinction coefficient（k） increases with the addition of electron donating groups, and decreases with the addition of electron withdrawing groups. Among the MOFs used in this study, the n_eff of NO_2-MIL-101（Cr） containing electron withdrawing groups is as low as ~1.2, and value of k is particularly low, which suggests its potential application in antireflective devices. In addition, the intrinsic refractive index（n_（dease）） of the dense MOF materials evaluated according to their porosity increases with the number of the functional groups, and the n_（dense） of the two nitro-substituted MOFs is greater than that of the single nitro-substituted one, and the latter is bigger than that of hydroxyl-substituted one, which is close to that of amino-functionalized one. The diversity of ligands in MOFs makes them a promising new generation of optical materials.展开更多

Experimental results indicated that the above second metal oxide modifications on m-TiO2 electrode are shown in all cases to act as barrier layer for the interracial charge transfer processes, but film electron transport and interfacial charge recombination characteristics under applied bias voltage were dependent significantly on the existing states and kinds of these second metal oxides. Those changes based on sec- ond metal oxide modifications showed good correlation with the current-voltage analyses of dye-sensitized solar cell, and all modifications were found to increase the open-circuit photo- voltage in various degrees, while the MgO, ZnO, and NiO modifications result in 23%, 13%, and 6% improvement in cell conversion efficiency, respectively. The above observations indi- cate that controlling the charge transport and recombination is very important to improve the photovoltaic performance of TiO2-based solar cell.展开更多
