Therefore different types of stochastic laws derived from the basic distributions are proposed for modelling a hazard-rate function too. The main contribution of the present paper is to proposed new adaptive hazard rate functions, derived from classical models. A numerical example is provided for the introduced models and comparison is also discussed. It can be seen that these new adaptive functions are competitive models for describing the bathtub-shaped failure rate of the lifetime data.

They measured memory for reception context (immediate memory for the circumstances in which people first heard the news) and 11 predictors of the consistency of memory for reception context over time (flashbulb memory). Shortly after 9/11, a questionnaire was distributed to 3,665 participants in 9 countries. U.S. vs. non-U.S. respondents showed large differences in self-rated importance of the news and in memory for event-related facts. The groups showed moderate differences in background knowledge and emotional-feeling states. Within non-U.S. groups, there were large differences for emotional-feeling states and moderate differences for personal rehearsal, background knowledge, and attitudes toward the United States. The authors discuss the implications of those findings for the study of group differences in memory and for the formation of flashbulb memories.
