The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Asymptotic distribution of density ratios

We find limit theorems regarding asymptotic distribution of density ratios. These results are applied to analyze the goodness of classical approximations.

Rates of convergence for the posterior distributions of mixtures of Betas and adaptive nonparametric estimation of the density. [PDF]

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic properties of nonparametric Bayesian mixtures of Betas for estimating a smooth density on [0, 1]. We consider a parametrization of Beta distributions in terms of mean and scale parameters and construct a ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Firm‐Size Heterogeneity in the Effects of ESG Disclosure on Firm Value Under Institutional Reform: Evidence From Japan

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on firm‐size heterogeneity, this study examines how institutional reform reshapes the effects of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value. Using 2019–2023 panel data on 1427 Japanese listed firms (before and after the 2022 Tokyo Stock Exchange reorganization and Corporate Governance Code revision), this ...

Importance sampling simulation for evaluating lower-bound symbol error rate of the Bayesian DFE with multi-level signalling schemes

, 2002
For the class of equalizers that employs a symbol-decision finite-memory structure with decision feedback, the optimal solution is known to be the Bayesian decision feedback equalizer (DFE).

Carbon Footprint of Bank Loans: Opportunities and Risk Implications in the Banking Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether the carbon footprint of bank loan portfolios influences bank stability, profitability and cost efficiency and whether regulatory quality moderates these relationships. Using a balanced panel of 33 countries from 2005 to 2018, the analysis combines banking‐sector indicators from the World Bank Global Financial ...
