In legal control, solid wastes are sampled to determine if particular concentrations of contaminants are below threshold levels. If the threshold is exceeded, the material is considered hazardous and constraints are placed on its handling and disposal. This procedure requires a uniform sampling and

Abstract
In this paper two nonparametric tests are given for testing the nullhypothesis of parallelity of response curves in r samples. The first procedure is done by a permutation test, whose practical applicability is ensured by a FORTRANβsubroutine available from the author. As the computational work and time grows rapidly with sample sizes, a MonteβCarloβsolution is optionally given by the same procedure.
Alternatively an asymptotically distributionβfree test based on quadratic forms is constructed for large sample situations.

An approach to the sequential ostimation of the location and scale-parameters of a logistic response curve using small sample &ea is discussed. The experimental design employed is a variation of Dixon's Up-Down method with variable step size. Modified maximum likelihood estimates for the location an
In this paper a possible explanation is presented for the differences found between the fire behaviour of materials in small-scale cone calorimeter tests and the large-scale furniture calorimeter. The results obtained with cone calorimeter/FTIR equipment at 35 kW m-2 will show that the early flash i
