A novel two-parameter continuous model titled the entropy-transformed Weibull (ET-W) distribution has been developed via the entropy transformation. A new framework has been investigated and found to meet the criteria of the probability function. By significantly improving the functional shape and having the ability to model the most likely form of the hazard rate function, this novel modification has increased the adaptability of typical model.

This study aimed at evaluating the occurrence, antibiotic resistance, and β-lactamase production in isolates recovered from meat and meat products, as well as the incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in these bacterial isolates. The prevalence of was very high (75% and 50%) in street kebab and raw buffalo meat, respectively. The antibiotic resistance and susceptibility behavior showed that 82% of the isolates were resistant to β-lactam antibiotics such as aztreonam, followed by methicillin (68%), oxacillin (54%), cefepime (36%), ceftazidime (34%), cefaclor (24%), cefotaxime (22%), ertapenem (4%), meropenem and imipenem (2%).

Values that are too large or small enough can be found in many data sets. Therefore, the estimator can yield ambiguous findings if several of the incredible deals are picked for the sample. When such extreme values occur, we propose improved estimators to determine the finite population means using double sampling based on probability proportional to size sampling (PPS).

This paper investigates the impact of cubic autocatalysis on energy transport in Maxwell fluid flow induced into a rotating cylinder inspired by a solar radiative surface. The homogeneous-reaction is assumed to be furnished by the kinetics of isothermal cubic autocatalytic and the heterogeneous reaction by kinetics of first order. To prevent induced axial secondary flow, the cylinder's rotation is maintained at a constant rate.

Weight determining of attributes is an important factor in decision support systems since it corresponds to the relative importance of each criteria which is necessary to be determined since all the attributes aren't equally important. The aim of this paper is to put forward a method for multi Criteria decision making (MCDM) problems based on three trapezoidal fuzzy numbers under completely unknown weights environment. Based on the idea that the attribute with a larger deviation value among alternatives should be assigned a larger weight, an optimization model based on maximizing deviation method is established.

Measurement error (M.E) can have a substantial impact on quality control applications, diminishing the sensitivity to detect changes in the mean or variance of quality characteristics. To monitor shifts in process mean and dispersion, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) control charts are commonly employed.

This article presents the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a nanoliquid due to a rotating sphere at a stagnation point. The flow is considered to be influenced by the magnetic field, dissipative, thermally radiative, and chemically reactive. Also, the thermophoretic and Brownian motion influences are taken into consideration.

A stratified flow may be seen regularly in a number of significant industrial operations. For instance, the stratified flow regime is typically used by gas-condensate pipelines. Clearly, only a limited set of working situations for which this flow arrangement is stable allow for the achievement of the stratified two-phase flow zone.

This article explores the analysis of magnetized blood-based nanofluids flows over an extending cylinder. The nanofluid contains copper, copper oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles which are mixed with blood. The mathematical model has been built-up in partial differential equations (PDEs) form and then changed into ordinary different equations by mean of suitable similarity variables and then has been evaluated by homotopy analysis method (HAM).

In estimation theory, the use of auxiliary information significantly improves precision while estimating population parameters. In this paper, an efficient class of ratio cum median estimators of the population median is suggested using simple random sampling without replacement. The expressions for bias and mean square error of the proposed class are derived theoretically.

Article Synopsis
  • Hybrid nanofluids, combining alumina and silver nanoparticles in water, enhance thermal characteristics in both lab and industrial applications.
  • This study investigates the flow of these nanofluids past a vertical flat surface in a permeable medium, factoring in effects like viscous dissipation, thermal radiation, and Joule heating.
  • Results show that increasing magnetic field and mixed convection improve fluid motion, while higher micropolar factors reduce it; thermal flow behavior enhances with stronger magnetic effects and radiation, and Nusselt number increases with rising magnetic effects and heat source strength.

The adaptive exponentially weighted moving average (AEWMA) control charts are the advanced form of classical memory control charts used for efficiently monitoring small-to-large shifts in the process parameters (location and/or dispersion). These AEWMA control charts estimate the unknown shifts using exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) or cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts statistics. The hybrid EWMA (HEWMA) control chart is preferred over classical memory control charts to detect early shifts in process parameters.
