I would like to integrate T-statistics values from multiple, independent tests.   How can this be done?   Since my degrees of freedom are many ($n&gt;1000$) I was thinking to use the Stouffer's method, which is really for Z-statistics score. However, with a high $df$ value, the T distribution and the Gaussian distribution should be identical.  Can I use Stouffer's method to integrate T values at $df&gt;1000$?
I have $k$ pairs of samples from different distributions. For each pair of samples I want to check if the samples are taken from a normal distribution with the same mean and variance. I assume the normal distributions for each pair is different and independent of other pairs. I do not know the mean and variance of any of the distributions.  I am doing a two sample t-test for each of the pairs. I want to combine the $k$ resulting p-values.   I could use Fisher's method but I am wondering about the distribution of the average t-value. If these were z-values rather than t-values I would use Stouffer's z-test. I could also approximate the t-distribution with a z-distribution and than use Stouffer's z-test, but I am not sure if that is a good approximation.  Is there a test like Stouffer's z-test for t-values?  Is there a better way to combine the t-values?
Most riders seem to say it's their groin, neck or lower back that starts hurting first after a decent distance has been ridden. For me it is my wrists.  I have no history of wrist pain (strains, breaks etc) so it can't be explained by that and I try to adjust my hand positions across my handlebars as often as I can.  My question has 2 parts:   1. Is there anything I can do to minimise pain in terms of riding position, gloves, exercises etc which will reduce soreness?  2. Why might this pain be occurring?  *I do all of my riding on paved roads on a road (Specialized Allez) bike. back commandbutton in jsf Toggle wireframe mode with hotkey How do I toggle in and out of wireframe mode with my keyboard?

Server 2008 Net Send or Msg? I have a Windows 2008 server running as a domain controller. The details are as follows:  Domain: corp Server Name: oxygen   The workstations are all running Windows XP SP3 and have fixed IP addresses.  I am trying to use the net send functionality to be able to send simple messages to either individual machines/users and also to all machines. This is so I can send a message to a user to alert them about something, or likewise alert everyone of something such as the server being rebooted.  Is this possible using Windows Server 2008? If so, what would the command be? I have three partitions on my drive, arranged something like the following:   ___________ | 1 |  2 | 3| -------------   I wish to merge partitions 1 and 3.  Is there a way to do this, or do I have to manually "slide" partition 2 over to partition 3, and then merge the newly open space where partition 2 used to be?  Note: I do not have the space to copy partition 2 to partition 3 (2 is 200GB and 3 is 65GB). I created a presentation using the beamer class with texmaker.

I just finished my homework.      I think there must be a difference in meaning. Could anyone tell me the difference in meaning sentence 1 and sentence 2? Consider:  I need to do this. I need do this.  My English grammar knowledge tells me that &quot;need&quot; doesn't have the same status as the modal verbs &quot;may&quot;, &quot;can&quot;, &quot;should&quot; and what not. Hence the second usage where two verbs appear consecutively is incorrect. But yesterday, my native English speaking friends (Americans) told me that &quot;I need compute this.&quot; is a perfectly grammatical sentence, and one is simply omitting the &quot;to&quot;. How can this be? Is it a colloquial usage but grammatically incorrect, or is it grammatically correct? If it is grammatically correct, is it because &quot;need&quot; is a semi-modal verb? EDIT: in particular, is it okay to use &quot;need compute&quot; in a scientific paper? EDIT2: the exact phrase that raised the question was &quot;The advantage of this representation is that we need only compute sums and products&quot; Photoelectric effect in a a frequency range I know how to calculate the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons   $$KE=hf-\phi$$  And the number of the emitted electrons, but this is valid for a certain frequency  $$N=\frac{IA}{hf}=\frac{P}{hf}$$  What happens if I have a frequency range? for example between λ1 and λ2?  BTW: It's not homework, I'm an engineering student,  not a physics student Are the decimal places in a CSS width respected? Find $\int \frac{x^3}{x^2-1} \:\mathrm{d}x$ Find $\displaystyle \int \dfrac{x^3}{x^2-1} \:\mathrm{d}x$.   I think there are a few ways to do this. We could just break this up using long division or break it up into partial fractions then use long division. My homework says to break this up into its roots so that's why I brought up partial fractions. Is that the best way to do it here? PS4 Controller not connecting to PS4 and won't reset? Prove $$\int _0^\infty f^2(x) dx \leq \frac{2}{3}\cdot  \max_{x \in \mathbb R^+} f(x) \cdot  \int _0^\infty f(x) dx$$ for $f(x) \geq 0$ and convex.   I know via Holder's we can get without the constant $\frac{2}{3}$ but that should also be true for $f$ not convex. I tried some approaches using convexity but didn't get the desired result.   A hint or reference would also help. Also, it would be interesting to know when equality holds. For some reason, I can run halt, poweroff, shutdown, and reboot as a regular user without root. How can I fix this? Is it something to do with user groups, or is it a seting somewhere? Why didn't the mirror universe's tech progress past the main timeline's? In Star Trek TOS, we see the Defiant disappear to unknown parts  ('The Tholian Web'), and Star Trek: Enterprise revealed that the Defiant went back in time to the mirror universe ('In a Mirror Darkly', parts 1 &amp; 2).   Because of this, one might wonder why (in-universe) the mirror universe didn't obtain (and maintain) technological superiority over the main timeline. (Granted, the out of universe answer is that TOS depicted the two universes as having essentially the same level of tech)  So does any work (whether STO, or a pocket books work) address why the mirror universe didn't simply leap frog the main universe's technology?   (Or to put it another way, why did the mirror universe's technology appear to stagnate for a century after obtaining access to the Defiant's advanced technology?)
