Implementing the multimodel generalized beta estimator in stata and its application

The multimodel generalized beta estimator (MGBE) described by von Hippel, Scarpino and Hola (2014) provides researchers with an improved way to estimate inequality from binned incomes. To extend the application of MGBE, the mgbe command is developed in Stata. In this report, the implementation and performance of mgbe are discussed.Statistic

generalized Radon transforms on fractal measures

In the setting of a general Borel measure $\mu$ on $R^d$ with the natural ball size condition $$\mu[B(x,r)]\leq Cr^s,$$ we establish the $L^p(\mu)$-$L^q(\mu)$-estimate for the generalized Radon transform $$(Af)(x):=\int_{\Phi(x,y)=0}(f\mu)(y)\psi(x,y)d\sigma_x(y),$$ where $\Phi$ is a smooth function away from the diagonal. Among other reasonable assumptions, an $L^2$-Sobolev bound on $A$ on $R^d$ is imposed. This bound is satisfied in many natural situations. The main result is, in general, sharp up to endpoints

Kedudukan Hukum Adat Duan Lolat Terhadap Penyelesaian Delik Dalam Criminal Justice System

The State of Indonesia is a State of Law (rechtstaat/staats law), which completely separates positive law (positivism law) from customary law (adatrecht) as unwritten law (custom), so that when a criminal act/criminal action occurs (delict) the state with all its powers according to the law (formal criminal law and material criminal law) through the related judiciary (sub system) acts to defend state law in order to protect the interests of the injured legal subject (victim). The results show that the system and values ​​and laws of the Duan-Lolat customary law have a position in national law as a sub-system of the Indonesian customary law system so that Duan-Lolat customary law gets its position in the criminal justice system without invalidating the national law in this case. material criminal law and the ideal form of criminal justice system in accommodating Duan-Lolat customary law against the settlement of offenses at the pre-adjudication and adjudication stages carried out by the authorized sub-system as a component of criminal justice

Modeling and simulation of fructo-oligosaccharides production

It is foreseen that Systems Biology will have a great impact not only in Metabolic Engineering and Drug Discovery efforts, but also in Bioprocess development and optimization. In fact, the computational tools developed in this area made possible to simulate a biochemical process with a mathematical model comprising dynamical equations based on first principles as well as empirical kinetic equations and parameters that can be estimated from experimental data. Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) have become important as healthy food ingredients because of their beneficial characteristics to the health of human (Lee, 1999). They can be obtained biotechnologically using the enzyme Betafructofuranosidase, produced by some fungi. The main purpose of this work was to develop a mathematical model able to simulate the formation of FOS in a bioreactor, in order to perform a faster optimization of the FOS production process, allowing to identify which parameters can influence the final amount of FOS. An empirical model presented by Kow Jen Duan et al (1994) was used to obtain the first set of reactions. Several hydrolysis equations were added in order to achieve a general mathematical model of the occurring enzymatic reactions. After the reformulation of the Kow Jen Duan model, the kinetic parameters were determined from experimental data using the System Biology toolbox [2] with the Simulated Annealing method for curve fitting. Several experiments in bioreactors were performed with two different FOS producing fungi for that purpose. The time evolution of 7 state variables (Sucrose, Glucose, Fructose, 1-Kestose, Nystose, 1-Fructosyl Nystose and Biomass) was considered. After parameter fitting, several simulations were performed in MatLab and the simulation results were compared with experimental data, exhibiting a very satisfactory correlation for both fungal cultures. Correlation coefficients of 0.9980 - 0.9549 between simulated and experimental data were obtained. This model will be used to optimize the production process, using an optimization tool that has been developed in our research group
