Steiner triple systems with disjoint or intersecting subsystems

The existence of incomplete Steiner triple systems of order υ having holes of orders w and u meeting in z elements is examined, with emphasis on the disjoint (z = 0) and intersecting (z = 1) cases. When and , the elementary necessary conditions are shown to be sufficient for all values of z. Then for and υ “near” the minimum of , the conditions are again shown to be sufficient. Consequences for larger orders are also discussed, in particular the proof that when one hole is at least three times as large as the other, the conditions are again sufficient. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Hamilton cycles in block-intersection graphs of triple systems

Given a BIBD S = (V, B), its 1-block-intersection graph G_s has as vertices the elements of B; two vertices B₁, B₂ ∈ B are adjacent in G_s if |B₁ ∩ B₂| = 1. If S is a triple system of arbitrary index λ, it is shown that G_S is hamiltonian. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Combin Designs 7: 243-246, 1999     

Regression analysis of right-censored failure time data with missing censoring indicators

This paper discusses regression analysis of right-censored failure time data when censoring indicators are missing for some subjects. Several methods have been developed for the analysis under different situations and especially, Goetghebeur and Ryan considered the situation where both the failure time and the censoring time follow the proportional hazards models marginally and developed an estimating equation approach. One limitation of their approach is that the two baseline hazard functions were assumed to be proportional to each other. We consider the same problem and present an efficient estimation procedure for regression parameters that does not require the proportionality assumption. An EM algorithm is developed and the method is evaluated by a simulation study, which indicates that the proposed methodology performs well for practical situations. An illustrative example is provided.     

One-step 5-stage Hermite-Birkhoff-Taylor ODE solver of order 12

A one-step 5-stage Hermite-Birkhoff-Taylor method, HBT(12)5, of order 12 is constructed for solving nonstiff systems of differential equations y^′=f(t,y), y(t₀)=y₀, where y∈Rⁿ. The method uses derivatives y^′ to y⁽⁹⁾ as in Taylor methods combined with a 5-stage Runge-Kutta method. Forcing an expansion of the numerical solution to agree with a Taylor expansion of the true solution to order 12 leads to Taylor- and Runge-Kutta-type order conditions which are reorganized into Vandermonde-type linear systems whose solutions are the coefficients of the method. HBT(12)5 has a larger interval of absolute stability than Dormand-Prince DP(8, 7)13M and Taylor method T12 of order 12. The new method has also a smaller norm of principal error term than T12. It is superior to DP(8, 7)13M and T12 on the basis the number of steps, CPU time and maximum global error on common test problems. The formulae of HBT(12)5 are listed in an appendix.

Performance of a double sided silicon strip detector as a transmission detector for heavy ions

The performance of a double sided silicon strip detector （DSSSD）, which is used for the position and energy detection of heavy ions, is reported. The analysis shows that although the incomplete charge collection （ICC） and charge sharing （CS） effects of the DSSSD give rise to a loss of energy resolution, the position information is recorded without ambiguity. Representations of ICC/CS events in the energy spectra are shown and their origins are confirmed by correlation analysis of the spectra from both the junction side and ohmic side of the DSSSD.
