On weighted residual varextropy: characterization, estimation and application
AIMS MathematicsIn recent years, the study of variability in uncertainty measures has gained significant interest in information theory. In this context, the concept of varextropy has been introduced and investigated by several researchers.

Spatial Correlation Robust Inference with Errors in Location or Distance [PDF]
This paper presents results from a Monte Carlo study concerning inference with spatially dependent data. We investigate the impact of location/distance measurement errors upon the accuracy of parametric and nonparametric estimators of asymptotic ...

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Semi-Nonparametric Estimation and Misspecification Testing of Diffusion Models [PDF]
We propose novel misspecification tests of semiparametric and fully parametric univariate diffusion models based on the estimators developed in Kristensen (Journal of Econometrics, 2010).

Testing Composite Null Hypothesis Based on $S$-Divergences
, 2015 We present a robust test for composite null hypothesis based on the general $S$-divergence family. This requires a non-trivial extension of the results of Ghosh et al.~(2015).

Distributed Bragg Reflector Based on Plasmonic Ag: Plasma Polymer Nanocomposites
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.This paper presents a comprehensive approach for the optical design and validation of silver nanocomposite‐based Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs). It describes deriving material properties (n, k) and using them to predict the performance of the deposited optical stack, as well as to characterize imperfections in the DBR deposition, or even to ...

Semiparametric posterior limits [PDF]
, 2013 We review the Bayesian theory of semiparametric inference following Bickel and Kleijn (2012) and Kleijn and Knapik (2013). After an overview of efficiency in parametric and semiparametric estimation problems, we consider the Bernstein-von Mises theorem ...

Terahertz Volume Plasmon‐Polariton Modulation in All‐Dielectric Hyperbolic Metamaterials
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.THz volume plasmon‐polariton (VPP) propagation through plasmon‐based hyperbolic metamaterials, made of alternating layers of doped and undoped III‐V semiconductors. Abstract The development of plasmonics and related applications in the terahertz range faces limitations due to the intrinsic high electron density of the standard metals.
