Some majorization results for n,G∑ a,λ(A, B, 1) as well as the other functions are given. Furthermore, we find the coefficients bounds on |a_2| and |a_3| for functions in*n,G∑ a,λ(A_1, B_1, A_2, B_2, α_1, α_2), which is the bi-univalent functions defined by n,G ∑a,λ(A, B, α) and subordination. By giving specific values of the parameters of our main results, several(known or new) consequences of main results are also discussed.展开更多

The comparison criterion is the concept of Schur majorization. A new dispersion index is proposed for testing the hypotheses. The corresponding test for the one-sample problem is an exact test. For the two-sample problem, the bootstrap is used to approximate the null distribution of the test statistic and the p-value. We prove that the bootstrap test is asymptotically correct and consistent. Simulation studies for the bootstrap test are reported and a real life example is presented.展开更多

The purpose of this paper is to determine the use of metacognitive strategies in reading by the PE & Art majors through questionnaire. According to the result of the questionnaire, the PE & Art majors do use some metacognitive strategies in their reading, while nearly half of them do not often use metacognitive strategies in their reading. For this phenomenon, the author gives some constructive suggestions for the English majors about how to apply the metacognitive strategies in their reading: 1) preparing and planning in pre-reading; 2) monitoring and self-questioning in while-reading; 3) evaluating and adjusting in post-reading.展开更多
