Uncertain Demand, Consumer Loss Aversion, and Flat-Rate Tariffs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The so called flat-rate bias is a well documented phenomenon caused by consumers' desire to be insured against fluctuations in their billing amounts. This paper shows that expectation-based loss aversion provides a formal explanation for this bias.

Calling behavior and parasite intensity in Treefrogs, Hypsiboas prasinus

open access: yes, 2013
A negative relationship between parasite intensity and male ornament condition or sexual display rate is one of the conditions of the parasite-mediated sexual selection model.

Vocal communication in wild chimpanzees: a call rate study

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Background Patterns of vocal communication have implications for species conservation: a change in calling behaviour can, for instance, reflect a disturbed habitat. More importantly, call rate is a parameter that allows conservation planners to convert call density into animal density, when detecting calls with ...

Highly Variable Autumn Calling Rates of Northern Bobwhite Following Translocation

open access: yes, 2022
Fall covey counts are a popular index for monitoring population trends of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite), but their utility is tenuous under different scenarios.

Evaluating the accuracy of variant calling methods using the frequency of parent-offspring genotype mismatch. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) datasets has increased dramatically over the last decade, but there have been few systematic analyses quantifying the accuracy of the commonly used variant caller programs.

Interest Rate Uncertainty and the Value of Bond Call Protection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Political Economy, 1978
This paper uses a model of the valuation of bonds bearing call options, together with observed market yields on callable bonds, to infer information about the uncertainty associated with interest rate expectations. A dynamic programming solution of the model simultaneously determines both the bond price and the issuer's optimal refunding strategy ...

Comparison of Microservice Call Rate Predictions for Replication in the Cloud

open access: yesProceedings of the IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing, 2023
Today, many users deploy their microservice-based applications with various interconnections on a cluster of Cloud machines, subject to stochastic changes due to dynamic user requirements. To address this problem, we compare three machine learning (ML) models for predicting the microservice call rates based on the microservice times and aiming at ...

The effect of fast-rate chuck calling on bout latency.

open access: yes, 2013
(A) Observational data showing the effect of fast-rate chuck calling vs. no calling on the latency between consecutive sentinel bouts. Shown are means (±SE) for each of the eight groups. (B) Playback results showing the effect of fast-rate chuck calls vs.

Chorusing Behaviour in the Lusitanian Toadfish: Should I Match My Neighbours' Calling Rate?

open access: yes, 2012
Choruses have been described mostly in birds, anurans and insects but have been poorly studied in fish. Research in batrachoidid (toadfishes) species suggest vocal facilitation among neighbouring males, but whether chorusing fish present more complex ...
