The joint normality of two random vectors is obtained based on normal conditional with linear regression and constant covariance matrix of each vector given the value of the other without assuming the existence of the joint density. This result is applied to a characterization of matrix variate normal distribution.

During the Oxford Conference of the Econometric Society in 1936, Ragnar Frisch proposed a problem of characterization of distributions based on the property of linear regression of one linear function of random variables on the other. This problem has been solved, partially by Allen [1], and then completely by Rao [24,25], Fix [7], and Laha [13] relaxing the conditions imposed on the component random variables. The purpose of this paper is to solve the above mentioned problem for the multivariate case, characterizing multivariate distributions based on the multivariate linear regression of one linear function of not necessarily i.i.d. random vectors with matrix coefficients on the other. We make some mild assumptions concerning the component random vectors and the related constant matrices. It is shown that the property of multivariate linear regression yields a system of partial differential equations (p.d.e.'s) satisfied by the characteristic functions of the component random vectors. A general solution of this system of p.d.e.'s is given by certain functional forms. Special cases of the general solution give characterizations of the “multivariate generalized stable laws” and the multivariate semistable laws, and a method is presented to characterize the multivariate stable laws.

Introduction: Let X1, X2, …, Xn be n (n ≤ 2) independent observations on a random variable X with distribution function F. Also let L = L (X1, X2, …, Xn) be a linear statistic and Q = Q (X1, X2, …, Xn) be a homogeneous quadratic statistic. In this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing a class of probability distributions by the linear regression of the statistic Q on the other statistic L. In section 2, we obtain a characterization of a class of probability distributions, which includes the normal and the Poisson distributions. In section 3, a class of distributions including the gamma, the binomial and the negative binomial distributions is characterized.

In a recent study of the superplastic forming (SPF) behavior of certain Al-Li-X alloys, the relative misorientation between adjacent (sub)grains proved to be an important parameter. It is well established that the most accurate way to determine misorientation across boundaries is by Kikuchi line analysis. However, the SPF study required the characterization of a large number of (sub)grains in each sample to be statistically meaningful, a very time-consuming task even for comparatively rapid Kikuchi analytical techniques.In order to circumvent this problem, an alternate, even more rapid in-situ Kikuchi technique was devised, eliminating the need for the developing of negatives and any subsequent measurements on photographic plates. All that is required is a double tilt low backlash goniometer capable of tilting ± 45° in one axis and ± 30° in the other axis. The procedure is as follows. While viewing the microscope screen, one merely tilts the specimen until a standard recognizable reference Kikuchi pattern is centered, making sure, at the same time, that the focused electron beam remains on the (sub)grain in question.

SummaryA comparison between the repartition of the blood groups in 461 patients suffering from thromboembolic disorders and the normal distribution has shown a statistically ascertained predominance of the group A1. On the other hand the blood groups 0 and A2 are distinctly less frequent than in the normal distribution.

SummaryUrokinase (UK) could be purified to apparent homogeneity starting from crude urine by sequential adsorption and elution of the enzyme to gelatine-Sepharose and agmatine-Sepharose followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150. The purified product exhibited characteristics of the high molecular weight urokinase (HMW-UK) but did contain two distinct entities, one of which exhibited a two chain structure as reported for the HMW-UK while the other one exhibited an apparent single chain structure. The purification described is rapid and simple and results in an enzyme with probably no major alterations. Yields are high enough to obtain purified enzymes for characterization of UK from individual donors.

ANALISIS VARIABEL YANG BERPENGARUH TERHADAP KINERJA PERUSAHAAN DI BURSA EFEK INDONESIAOleh : Suseno STIE SATRIA Purwokerto ABSTRACT The aims of the research are (1) to analyze influence of age, scale, financial leverage, and profitability to performance of firms at The Indonesian Stock Exchange. (2) to determine the most influential variable on the performance of the firms. Hypotheses proposed in this research were: (1) Age, Scales, Financial Leverage, Profitability influences the performance of firms, (2) Age influences the performance of firms, (3) Scales influences the performance of firms, (4) Financial Leverage influences the performance of firms, (5) Profitability influences the performance of firms. Instrument of analysis employed in the research was multiple linear regression with t test and F test.The results of analyses of t test showed that profitability did not influence the performance of the firms. It was indicated by the value of computed t which was smaller than the value of t table. Meanwhile, the t test of age, scale and financial leverage indicated that the value of computed t > t table. It means that these variables (scale and financial leverage) influenced the performance of the firms. The F test showed that the independent variables of age, scale, financial leverage and profitability as a whole significantly influenced the performance of the firms. It was indicated by the calculated F > the value of F table, the value the age computed t which was smaller than the value of -t table..Based on the research results that age and profitability do not influence the performance of the firms, it is suggested that investors should not pay any attention to those variables. On the other hand, they should pay attention to the variables of scale and financial leverage. It is recommended that for further research should include longer periode of the sample.

Abstract Expression of the MAL genes required for maltose fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is induced by maltose and repressed by glucose. Maltose-inducible regulation requires maltose permease and the MAL-activator protein, a DNA-binding transcription factor encoded by MAL63 and its homologues at the other MAL loci. Previously, we showed that the Mig1 repressor mediates glucose repression of MAL gene expression. Glucose also blocks MAL-activator-mediated maltose induction through a Mig1p-independent mechanism that we refer to as glucose inhibition. Here we report the characterization of this process. Our results indicate that glucose inhibition is also Mig2p independent. Moreover, we show that neither overexpression of the MAL-activator nor elimination of inducer exclusion is sufficient to relieve glucose inhibition, suggesting that glucose acts to inhibit induction by affecting maltose sensing and/or signaling. The glucose inhibition pathway requires HXK2, REG1, and GSF1 and appears to overlap upstream with the glucose repression pathway. The likely target of glucose inhibition is Snf1 protein kinase. Evidence is presented indicating that, in addition to its role in the inactivation of Mig1p, Snf1p is required post-transcriptionally for the synthesis of maltose permease whose function is essential for maltose induction.

In this paper, we will introduce a new geometric constant LYJ(λ,μ,X) based on an equivalent characterization of inner product space, which was proposed by Moslehian and Rassias. We first discuss some equivalent forms of the proposed constant. Next, a characterization of uniformly non-square is given. Moreover, some sufficient conditions which imply weak normal structure are presented. Finally, we obtain some relationship between the other well-known geometric constants and LYJ(λ,μ,X). Also, this new coefficient is computed for X being concrete space.
